Alisa &Taylor's wedding...

The wedding was at the Reno Temple and the weather was gorgeous that afternoon.  Unfortunately, we were about an hour outside of Reno the day before, when I realized I'd forgotten to bring my temple recommend!  Good thing I travel with my bishop!!!

 

 

 

The ceremony was beautiful and we all squeezed into the sealing room.

 

Waiting for the bride and groom.

 

The happy couple.

 

Alisa and her dad.

 

Dress adjustments.  :)

 

Kendyl, Brityn and Sawyer caught them at the end of their photo shoot right before dinner.  Poor Ryder was sick all day and missed out on the birthday and wedding celebrations.  :(

 

A quick stop at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

 

Dinner at the church.

At the reception at The Loft.

Poor birthday girl did NOT want her picture taken with Grandpa!

Opening presents...

Leightyn was definitely excited to see a pile of pink "Dora" wrapped presents.  I don't think she knew exactly what she was supposed to do with them--other than play with them!

 

 

 

She had plenty of "help" getting her presents open!

 

And then she was very happy to play with her new toys!

Leightyn's birthday...

We spent Nevada Day on the road traveling to Reno for Alisa's wedding, so all the birthday celebrations were done in Reno.  Here is the birthday girl.

 

 

Pizza for the birthday lunch.

This is what she thinks of washing her face...

 

All clean.

 

She was excited about the singing and started to clap, but got distracted by everyone looking at her.

 

And once again, no cake.  Who wouldn't love a birthday donut?

 

Uncle Brian came over to play and babysit while Steve and I attended the wedding.  The kids LOVED Uncle Brian!

 

And this is where the donut ended up.

 

Lots of birthday fun!

 

Happy 1st Birthday Leightyn!!!

I can't believe my baby girl turned 1 on Saturday!  This year has been crazy and challenging and wonderful and amazing and we are so happy Leightyn is a part of our family.  She is a sweetie pie, cutie patootie, girly girl, mischief maker, speed demon crawler, crazy whirlwind, cuddle bug, worst diaper changer ever, momma's girl, independent, curious, loves her blanky, good eater, great sleeper and best little sister!
