Ok, so the alliteration may be a little lame (or "wame" as Macie would say), too bad - I'm leaving it!
Anyway, my sister Rachel married her true love, Clint, on Saturday. They were nice enough to invite us (of course they didn't have a choice, we totally would have crashed it if needed!) to a very fun dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Friday. It was delicious and fun. One of the best parts was that it brought back so many fun memories for me! Justin and I did that very same thing 10 glorious years ago, in that very same room so naturally I LOVE it.
Then on Saturday morning they were married in the Bountiful Temple. It was a lovely, sunny, beautiful day, thus the "wonderful wedding weekend."
We're excited to have Clint in the family and relieved we didn't scare him off before everything was legal!!
Here are just a few shots of the millions that were taken. I wish we had a good one of the whole group. Oh well.

A Quick Update......
I know, it's been a VERY long time since I posted. Things are a bit busy and it just hasn't been my top priority :) Justin keeps using no-so-subtle hints that it's time so here it is.......
Christmas was very fun! Cole and Macie are at such fun ages and that makes everything exciting and fantastic. We don't have as many pictures this year, I think it's because Santa brought us a Wii and it was in use almost immediately. No time to take pictures!
We went to St. George for the New Year. That was a lovely break from the 17 trillion feet of snow that was burying us. January was pretty blah. We are glad to be done, but we did have one exciting event. We have a new member of our family......Braxton arrived last week in Monticello!! He is super cute and if I can figure out how, I will add a picture (don't hold your breath!). Cole and Macie are excited to meet their new cousin. We have a new baby to look forward to in February too. Lesa should be having a baby any minute (and if it were up to her she would have had that baby yesterday!).
In fact, February is shaping up to be a much better month. We have new babies all around and a wedding (Rachel is getting married Feb 21st) and some sunnier, less snowy weather - so far!
P.S. I can't get this picture to rotate!! Oh well, just tilt your head to the left :)

Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful.....
Cole and Macie are delighted with the giant piles of snow around here. Justin and I are not feeling so happy about it, however. But what can you do? I guess tie the sled onto the 4 wheeler and pull the neighborhood around and of course have snowball fights while you wait for your turn!
Future Speed Skaters?
We went to the Utah Olympic Oval to ice skate last weekend and had a blast! Cole was a bit hesitant initially but not Macie! Have you ever seen the cartoons where characters are running or moving so fast it looks like they have a hundred legs? Well, that was Macie on skates! She just held onto Justin's hands or mine and grew a hundred legs that flew all over the place faster than you could imagine. She LOVED it!
Cole was determined and persistant. He wanted to be independant and by the end of our skating time was feeling pretty confident and having a very fun time!
Justin cruised around and complained that his blades were dull. He wished he could practice a few figure skating moves he knows......just kidding of course!
I feel like my thighs look like speed skater thighs, or I guess they probably call them quads and they probably are all muscle. Mine currently are all fudge.
