The Wedding!

Julie and Reece's wedding day was wonderful in every way. We wanted to share it with you by posting some of our pictures. We don't have the photographer's photos from the wedding day yet, but these are some we snapped with our cameras.

We had a family dinner hosted by Reece's parents the night before the wedding. There was beautiful music performed by Reece's family, and a chance to visit with each other. Then Julie and Reece were married in the Draper Temple on a beautifully crisp November day. It was extra special to have Dad perform the ceremony. Julie and Reece are so happy to be married, and we are all happy for them, too!

Mr. and Mrs. Butler!

A few pictures from the dinner the night before the wedding...

...and some pictures from the reception at the Joseph Smith building on Temple Square. It was so pretty to look out at the temple and all the Christmas lights on Temple Square.

Jane looked like a little princess!

A few more pictures at the Draper Temple after the wedding...

So fun having cousins here!

Congratulations, Julie and Reece! We love you!

A Moment In Time

Will someone please tell me the occasion at Sam Wilson's? Was this the summer Becky and Debbie got married?

Always smiling, even as a baby!

Who could resist that face?

There was always lots of mud around our house, so why not just wear boots to go out and play?

Happy Birthday, Lucky Mommy!

Another special day in our family--today is Kristina's birthday! Here are a few pictures in honor of the celebration....

Stockholm, July 1976. We were all so excited that our baby sister had arrived. The Swedish hospital staff had never seen such a big family before!

A Swedish baby needs a Swedish buggy, and Kristina put lots of miles on these wheels, all over Sweden, on her travels with Mom and Dad throughout the mission. She learned to say Swedish words when she was out of the house or playing with the phone, and English words when she was in the house or talking to the family!

Lisa and her dolls...oh, one of them is a real baby!

Reading stories together in Dad's office at the mission home.

New Aunts, Lisa and Kristina, visiting their niece Angie in Utah with Mom and Dad. "Aunt Nina" was 7 years old.

"Nina Ballerina" reading stories to Angie, who was now about 7.

The little cousins always loved being with Nina, Lisa, and Dave.

They still do!

Never a dull moment with this happy family!

We love you, Kristina! You are a lucky Mommy for sure and a wonderful sister and friend. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Lisa!

Today is a very special day in our family! It's Lisa's birthday. I remember Mom and Dad coming into my room early in the morning to tell me they were going to the hospital because today the baby would be born...and later in the morning getting the exciting news that we had a baby sister! Here are a few pictures to celebrate Lisa's special birthday today...
