Wedding Photographer Pics

I FINALLY got some of the pictures the wedding photographer took uploaded to my blog...sorry it took me so long. These are a few of my favorite pics...it was hard to just pick a few to put on here but if I put all the pictures I like I would never get it posted. I have a lot of good pictures! :) Please let me know if you want me to email copies of any pics to you or you can just take them off here. Love you all!!!





My cute mom and me!

I like this pic with my dad...my sisters all have one like it from when they got married.

Jason's Birthday!

June 22nd was Jason's birthday.....Big 34! :)
We had a little BBQ with his parents at our house to celebrate. His mom brought Jason's favorite macaroni salad and her famous chocolate cake. It was nice day so we were able to eat outside. Jason said he wanted "summer" food to make the weather think it actually wanted to really start being summer (weather is crazy in Montana...you never know what you are going to get). It was nice for dinner and then came the rainstorm and hail...yes hail in June! :( We then played a little rockband to show Jason's parents our mad skills...Jason on guitar, Nicole on drums and Katie singing vocals. Our band is called the Tubby Cogs (after my two little dogs: Dakota we call Tubby and we call Theo a Cog because we consider him part cat and part dog).
Jason got a couple nice dress shirts from me, some movies from Katie and a cool GPS system from his mom and dad....that was his favorite gift! He loves it....men and their toys! :)

Katie tied a ribbon on her head and told her dad she was a present for him! Cute!

Lots of candles=Lots of smoke :)

It was nice until the hail came and we ran inside!

Garage Sale

Saturday, June 19th Jason and I took all of our "garage sale"stuff over to his mom's for a neighborhood garage sale. About 20 families in her neighborhood had garage sales at the same time and the person who headed it up did all of the advertising...yay! Jason and I took over a truck load and my car full to add to about that much stuff of his parents. As you can see from the pics....we had A LOT of stuff! It was a successful garage sale. Jason and I took home over $225 and his parents over $450. Yay for garage sales! We also met quite a few nice people that day too. We were able to get rid of a lot of stuff. The extra we just took over to GoodWill and donated. So the problem of putting our two households together is easier now! :)

Katie's in Taekwon-do

Jason and I have Katie almost full time for the summer months. So we decided to put her in some fun activities...one of them being Taekwon-do class. I think she looks super cute in her uniform and it is fun to watch her kick and punch with gusto and a big smile on her face...she loves it. We hope it is something she will continue doing during the rest of the year too. More pics to come of all her activities planned for the summer....we are going to be BUSY! :)



On to Montana...

Here are a few pics of our trip up to Montana the Sunday after the wedding and where I now live.

My new house

The living room with Theo posing for me! :)

The scenery in Montana....beautiful place (you should all come and visit... :) )


We stopped for a break on the trip and I had to take a "self-portrait" as always....Jason is a good sport.

The Honeymoon

For our honeymoon we went to Athens, Greece! No...not really...but Jason surprised me with a honeymoon suite at Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls. All of the rooms are themed for countries or cities around the world...our room was Athens. It was beautiful and very romantic. The hotel had sparkling cider and cheesecake waiting for us as well as a nice breakfast the next morning. Jason knew I wanted to go there for our honeymoon so he set it up...thank you honey! I love you!! :)

A painting I loved in the room!

The bathtub was huge and the mural behind it was one of my favorite parts of the room!


The fireplace was awesome.



We went and walked along the falls next to the temple which was three blocks from our hotel. This was the sunset that night....awesome! The falls were beautiful too because there was a lot of water.


One of my self portraits! :)

THE WEDDING....JUNE 12, 2010

My Wedding Day!
It was a WONDERFUL, AMAZING, AWESOME day!!! :)
Everything went well. All of my siblings came with their families...thank you all so much for that! It meant SO much to me! I had friends from other states that came to see me too...that was great! Having so many people there for Jason and me was wonderful.....it made our day very special. We both had many friends and family members that traveled to be there on our special day. The food was great...thank you to my co-workers that brought so much yummy items. The cake was made by my sister Denise and some of her husband's family..thank you...it turned out amazing! The decorator did an awesome job....it all looked beautiful. The ceremony was short, sweet, and I loved it! I almost lost it and cried but I was able to hold it together! I loved my dress and Jason looked sooo handsome in his tux. My mom bought all my nieces matching dresses....they looked cute. Jason's mom bought Katie a super cute dress. The weather was ok...it didn't rain so that was good..a little windy as you can tell from some of the outside pics. Jason and I received many gifts and cards! Thank you to everyone who made my wedding day one that I will remember FOREVER! :)
I have over 650 pictures (and those don't include the pics I am getting from the photographer in about a week)...I picked some of my favorites to share with all....hope you like them and can tell what an amazing day it really was!

My siblings decorated my car! :)


WOW...is my husband handsome or what???

The decorations were beautiful....just what I wanted!


The centerpieces..beautiful!
