Thank Goodness for In-and-Out!

I feel very sorry for all of you living east Nevada and Arizona, as you do not have access to an In-and-Out Burger... So after Charlotte's 1st birthday doctor's checkup where she measured 6th percentile for height and 10th percentile for weight (that means she is teeny), we decided to try to fatten her up a bit. And what better way than In-and-Out! And true to her genetic bloodlines, she loved it! Check out her first experience with eating fries:


And of course Scott had his favorite meal: pink, brown and white milkshake, fries and chupup. Is it bad that as the mom of an EXTREMELY picky eater, that I consider this to be a very nutritious meal? I count it as two vegetables and a dairy...

Baby C is 1!!!

Today we celebrated Charlotte's first birthday! She is still so teeny, but so darn cute! After our Easter Egg hunt, we came inside and got the little princess all ready for her big show. She was way more into the little cupcakes than Scott was when he turned one! You can see from the pictures she did a good job of making a mess.

Allison & Ted's Wedding

The Princess sure had her day... Allison was in SPECTACULAR form for her big wedding day! We headed down to Pasadena the day before the wedding, just in time to miss the decorating party at the Stake Center where the reception would be held. Miraculously, the entire Syphi gang made it to the LA temple with time to spare. The sealing was absolutely beautiful and I will never forget the calm, confident look on Allison's face. Oh, and Ted looked good, too :)


Then the party began... Although the reception was at a Stake Center, it was like no Stake Center I had ever seen! It was an English Tudor-style building with beautiful landscaping all around. And the cultural hall looked awesome in all the burgundy, plum and fuchsia decorations. The dinner was fabulous, the desserts even better (surprise), but the highlight of the evening was the musical entertainment. Allison did a couple of numbers (spectacular, I may add). An old friend, Mike Moore, sang a little Harry Connick - which Ted realizes is the only other man he needs to worry about in Allison's heart. A trio of women did some great songs including Wishin' And Hopin'. And last but not least, we heard the traditional Roast With Love from the Syphi Siblings. This video was taken at the wedding luncheon in Provo a month after the wedding, but this was the same song performed at the reception:


And at the conclusion of the evening, Allison and Ted rode off on a motorcycle -- with Allison driving, of course. What else would you expect???

Ted is a wonderful guy and absolutely perfect for Allison. We are so excited for them both!
