The Newest Mr and Mrs Jones....

Dan's little Brother Eli, got married last weekend and we made the long trek to Utah to be a part of it. (Of course we wouldn't miss it for the world) it's just not my favorite thing to make the 12 hour drive, especially for just 2 days! But those 2 days were packed with fun and it more than makes up for the whirlwind trip. I can't believe lil Eli is married now! He was only 14 when Dan and I got married and only 12 when we 1st met! Time flies and it's crazy how much Dan's siblings have grown up! Another reason for the trip was that Great Grandma Betty, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Roy were flying in from Georgia for the wedding. GG Betty is the sweetest thing, she showers Ella with cards and gifts, Ella was thrilled to finally meet her. We also got to meet the newest member of the family, baby Madeline. Maryliegh had her second and she is just a doll! I wanted to sneak her back with me.

The night before the big wedding, we had a catered family dinner and we were able to catch up with everyone. One of my very favorite things to do is just hang out and talk. And that’s just what we did, super chill, laid back and wonderful.

Dan's little sister, Elizabeth asked me to do her hair and makeup for prom. Prom! I know I sound really old saying this, but Lizzy was only 6 yrs old when Dan and I started dating so prom seems crazy to me. She is all grown up and gorgeous now, I can't even believe it. I had fun beautifying her and sprucing up Ethan’s hair (the brother just older than lizzy, again can't believe he's old enough either) they both were going that night. Aren't they the cutest things?!

She is just too darn pretty! (And I’m not just saying that b/c I did her hair and makeup :)

I am in love with this lil baby. My newest niece is such a sweetheart. I couldn't get enough of her! Talk about wanting another one; she just put it over the top for me!

And if I wasn't baby hungry enough...check out these pics with Ella and her baby cousin & their matching PJ's! Ummm, are you kidding me?? That is beyond adorable!!

The Big Wedding Day: The day of there was a huge snow storm. Poor Eli and Sharlee. But that didn't stop it from being a fabulous wedding at all! I was able to hang out with the bride before and make her hair and makeup all fancy smancy. I do have to toot my own horn, she looked amazing!! The wedding was great! It was at Cactus and Tropicals in Draper and it made for such a cool venue. No decorations really needed b/c the place was dripping with flowers and plants. So beautiful. We all had a ball. The food was great and the company even better.

The only bummer thing was we had to leave the next day, it was too short of a visit. Wish we could have stayed longer, Thank you all for the wonderful time, we love you!! And the biggest congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Eli and Sharlee Jones!
