Dom & Jenna's Wedding

This weekend my older brother Dominic got married.  Jordan and I drove down to Salt Lake and stayed with Matt & Mickie for the night.  It was fun seeing them!   So much fun we stayed up WAY past my normal bedtime (till 2:00am).  Saturday morning Mickie drove us to the airport and we flew to CA.  We rented a car this time, and it sure was nice!  Saturday we spent the day in Modesto.  First we went to the mall, and almost as soon as I walked in I ran into my two sister-in-laws!!!  That was a great surprise!  Then I got a pedicure, and Jordan got some donuts :)  We visited one of our favorite couples - the Sidwells, and then headed to the Yogurt Mill!!  I think that is the only thing I have even sort of craved since being pregnant!  I don't like ice-cream (temporarily I'm sure), but frozen yogurt sounds so good all the time!  And sorry, but Mill Hollow (Rexburg's frozen yogurt) is terrible!!  The Yogurt Mill has about 10-15 different flavors, and they are all sooo delicious!  I got smores, and jordan got marshmallow :)  yum!  
I have been really blessed to end up with such great sister-in-laws (on both sides!) This is Stephanie, my younger brother's wife.  They got engaged the same day Jordan and I did, and married last June.  I don't remember posting their picture link, so here it is they turned out great, I always love Kellee's work!!  And their slideshow.

And the Bride and Groom :)

Pics of me with my two brothers.  They both look so much alike, but I don't see it in me as much - I think my smile throw me off
And my newest sister-in-law Jenna!  She was such a pretty bride!!
Now both of my brothers are married, and 2 of Jordan's 3 brothers are married, and I LOVE my sister-in-laws, so Braden you better pick a good one too!!!
I can not believe my brother did this!  My mom told me the night before that he was going to, but I didn't believe it.  He's just too serious.  But he DID!  I love Jenna's facial expressions in both pics!  She was a very good sport with all his "funniness" that evening!!

Spending time with my grandparents is always great!  We rode up with my grandma and grandpa Parkinson (grandma below) and were seated with my Valponi grandparents at dinner, so we got to chat quite a bit :)
We got home that night around midnight, and woke up at 3:00am to leave for the airport.  Jordan had a test at 2:00, so we had to hurry back.  It was a very short weekend, but with very very long days.  The weather was gorgeous!!  And it was amazing to see blossoms on the trees in the orchard!!  And flowers on the ground!!!  It made me even more anxious for school to be over, and summer to begin!!

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't remember you were pregnant until scrolling to earlier posts. At least you're not showing in the face if you know what I mean . . .
