Last Party

On January 4th, we had an Open House for Sean and MaryDawn. Alan and Mike took photos of the afternoon...here are some of them. Sean and MD are off now...on their way to the Mediterranean today and then to Moscow where they will study until April.

As promised ... a few more photos

These all belong to the photographer, so please keep that in mind.   Thanks!

Happy Life to Sean and MaryDawn!

Yesterday was a beautiful cold drizzly wet day for Sean and MaryDawn (but I'm sure they didn't notice) as they exchanged vows and traded two pasts for one future together in the Salt Lake Temple. They were surrounded by lots of family and friends throughout the day who have loved and supported them throughout their lives. Bishop Mike Crockett conducted a ring ceremony following a lovely luncheon at The Tuscany. It was just a really wonderful day. It was lovely to see many of you there and of course we missed many of you who weren't able to be there. Here is a cute photo from the bridal shoot....wedding photos to follow soon!

Sean's coming HOME!

Hey all, Sean is coming home in 15 (count them!) days! He'll be flying into Boise on the 4th of November. The next day (November 5th) is Easton's baptism, so we'll be having a fun few days!

Just so you know Sean's homecoming is November 13th at 12:30 in American Falls Stake. The meeting will be held in the Rockland building in Rockland (they are renovating AF3rd ward building). Anyway...we'd love to see you there! Not sure what will be happening afterward; I'll let you know if I get something together or not.

Happy Fall!

Temple Day for Sean

Hi Everyone!

Today was a lovely day and we missed you! When asked if he was overwhelmed by his experience, Sean answered, "no, i would describe it more as.....Whu -- at??...." (And -- we'll miss being with you tomorrow Austin. Sean will come though!) It really was nice though and so was Sunday. Lots of family, friends and food, a combination that can't be beat. I know I've said it over and over, but I thank you all so much for being part of the 'village' that has helped us raise our kids. It takes lots of examples and love and patience; you have shared all of that with so much love and care.

Fun photo of Hayden, Sean, and Austin. Elliot and Alex were there too! I should have had a picture of all our 'boyz'! My bad, just didn't get it done like I should have! Also missin: Wes, Thayne and Nate.

We love you all and hope to see you soon!
