...mr. & mrs. jeremy field...

so anyone that knows me, knows that i LOVE weddings! i always have...and i think i probably always will. they're my favorite...especially when the bride and groom are people i love. we're so excited to have jen in the family. she is so good to jer & i really don't think he could have done any better for himself. it was such a great day for everyone.

just out of the temple...(notice zac, he LOVES his uncle jer & wanted to be everywhere he was. he even asked me after the reception if he could leave with jer...not the best idea.)

pictures with jen's family, the holderness's. they are such nice people...it was fun getting to know them throughout the day.

grandma beattie & cousin chanel.

the luncheon turned out beautiful...i especially loved these centerpieces.

so my flash was driving me crazy. i still haven't figured out the indoor/low light photography thing. so, these pictures from the luncheon aren't the best...but i had to get some pictures anyway. these are the cute little favor boxes that debbie put together...she filled them with chocolate covered caramel melts, white candy coated almonds, and lemon heads.

and here's the program for the luncheon...very elegant.


the beattie girls...heidi, grandma beattie, chanel, cindy & cute little dallas.


the reception...

okay, story about this beautiful cake. jen's sister-in-law made it, and she did a great job! anyway, we got to talking because i have a fascination with cake-decorating. well, turns out she has taken 3 out of the 4 wilton cake decorating classes that i posted about a few months ago. i took the first class, and haven't signed up for any more, but after seeing this, it definitely motivated me to take the rest of the classes.

so yes, now that the wedding is over, and summer is quickly coming to an end, our lives are beginning to calm down a bit. it's been a very fun filled summer with so many fun reunions with family and old friends. i've loved it...

...twenty-eight is GREAT...

it was fun being in boise for chad's birthday this year...we had a day filled with swimming, relaxing, present opening, extended family visiting, and mom & dad field treating us to goodwood's for dinner & a yummy cookies 'n cream icecream cake for dessert...chad's favorites!

i bought chad these things called "the perfect push-up"...which are pretty cool, i'd have to say. but zac & emmy loved them just as much or more than chad did...they turned out to be a present for the whole family, it was great. zac is now my official perfect push-up coach. he seems to have it down already...impressive, i know!

...boise bound...

we're off to boise this afternoon...where we'll be celebrating this guy's 28th birthday tomorrow...

and the marriage of these two love birds...jeremy & jen...on saturday! we're very excited...

...camping no more...

remember this picture?? this was from our nice little camping trip that we went on with my family. we went up to my parent's property for the weekend. so you have to know that thanks to my husband, i'm a little bit paranoid of bears & mountain lions...all that crazy wild life out there, right? my dad was so good to reassure me that we'd be just fine. and we were just fine, so that was great. even though i was a little freaked out at times, i went home saying, "when are we going up next?"

well...notice the tent that emerson is sitting up against on our nice little camping trip...

my parents went up to the property again last night with some friends for a little barbeque...and this is what they found on that nice canvas tent that emerson was leaning up against...BEAR PRINTS!! and please notice the claw marks...

and they were ALL OVER THE TENT!! and this was not just a little bear...my dad said they were up about six feet high!!! aaah!!

so no...i told my dad i will NOT be going back there until a cabin is built. and when i go to the cabin, i will be running from car to cabin and stay inside until i leave. talk about crazy!! i'm just glad we weren't there to witness it! :)

...brookside 207...

i've been a lazy blogger, that's all there is to it. it's not like i don't have anything to blog about because last weekend i got together with my old roommates from byu-idaho! crazy to think that it's been 7 years since we've all been together. we had such a fun time though...swimming, eating, talking, more eating, gift exchanging, crafting...it was great! thanks again friends... :)

the six of us...plus pam's little nora kate, and tanya's sweet lucy.


me & raeann...

eating at flatbread pizza in boise's bown crossing shopping center. it was sooo good...the four cheese pizza is pretty much to die for, if you're ever in the area and want something good to eat, keep this place in mind!

and for the record...
