My Little Brother is All Grown Up

This weekend Amy and I are in Utah for my little brother Joshy's wedding. He and Kristy were married yesterday and it was awesome. Here's a shot of the happy couple. When I look at this picture, the words of a well known toast come to mind:

Here's to our friend who is soon to be wed,

May the double-hitch turn out no botch,

And always the picture he hides in his heart,

Be the same he has stuck in his watch.

Squash and my mom showing as much affection as if they just sealed a business deal.

Here is a shot of the nieces in their matching dresses before the wedding.

Here is a shot of all the brothers and sisters. Notice how I am not the shortest one in the family.

Amy Lou was tired after temperatures were over 100 degrees here.

Lastly, it fell upon my brothers and I to decorate the car. We used everything a Conoco in Salem, Utah had to offer. We soon realized whipped cream and 100 degree temperatures don't mix as the words ended up as just a white smudge. Luckily the donuts and toothpaste stayed put.

It was a ton of fun to be with my whole family. We just wish Jen and our boys could have come. I was so excited I couldn't stop hugging people. Especially Kristy. I think I hugged her 4 or 5 times. And if she is reading this blog, that is just the beginning. Since I am now European I am going to insist on the double cheek kiss now each time we see each other.
