Lace and Leland's Wedding

My niece Lace and her sweet husband Leland got married on July 10, 2010 in the temple.  It was a special ceremony that we were so lucky to be able to go.  They are a beautiful couple.
Leland's family had them hold a tradtional ceremony.  It was really cool to be a part of it.

Brotherly love in a weird way! LOL

Champions

We were really sad that while we were on our vacation to Jamaica Austin's baseball team won the championship baseball game.  He played 3rd base, center field, and first base.  We had great neighbors that took him to his game and cheered him on.  We are so proud of Austin and his talents.

Jamaica

After a long 6 months apart we decided to pamper ourselves by visiting the most amazing place on earth.  We traveled to the beautiful Island of Jamaica where they pampered us and made our stay one we will never forget.
They picked us up in a private car and gave us the presidential suite.  It was incredible with its private swim up and hot tub on the balcony. They gave us everything we could image including a couples massage, candle light dinner on the beach, breakfast in bed, non-stop tropical drinks, and unlimited food.
Posing outside our room.
Our room was incredible! It was so romantic!
Here Grant is sitting in our tub enjoying the beautiful view.

Sailing with Thunder. Grant loved learning to sail on his own. Thunder was a great teacher.
One of the days there we biked into town to do a little shopping!  We stopped at this cute bar to watch the World Cup with the locals.
Amazing Views we had all day!
Here we are enjoying a drink on our swim up!
Grant couldn't be happier to be home!

Grant's Welcome Back Party!

I decided to throw Grant a welcome home party at The Castle.  It was a blast!  We had a DJ and tons of family and friends to help us celebrate his return with danceing and food.  Thanks to my Castle Family we had great food including Zeppes!  Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your love and support!  This party was as much for you as it was for Grant!

Ready to hit the road!

When Grant got back from being gone for 6 months in Afghanistan his son needed some long awaited guy time.  So Grant and Austin packed up and headed out on the road for some quality time. Look how cute my two men are.
