Kevin's birthday dinner

I called Kevin this morning to see if he wanted to go out to dinner on my lunch hour (5:30-6:30) and then told Cody about it too. We decided to go to Cool Hand Luke's. I finally found out the best steak to order there--bacon-wrapped filet. Sorry I forgot to take pictures because I was really rushed so when the food came I didn't waste any time taking pictures. I just started eating but I was still 11 minutes late clocking in.

Cody is taking a picture of Kevin with his phone.

I don't really like this picture of the two of us but oh well. Its all we've got.

Rainbow

This is only half of the rainbow I saw as I was driving to work the other day.

Flamson

While I was waiting for my tank to fill up at the gas station, I took this shot of the construction at Flamson for Mandi, Danny, Kyra and Cody.

The cutest thing

Ok so this little boy put his candy on the belt and then his sister's too. It was Ferrero Rocher (hazelnut covered with chocolate, yummy!) then I asked him what about me? and he came right back with no! So cute! But then his little sister kept handing me her candy even though I had already scanned it.

It really was her

Guess who I met at work the other day? Lois Lane. Really, it really was her--I even saw her ID. Too bad I didn't take her picture.

Lauren and Blake Bowen

On January 3, 2009, Blake and Lauren were sealed for time and all eternity in the Newport Beach Temple. Kevin and I made a weekend of it and stayed with Kyra and Brad. They live about 6 miles from the Newport Beach Temple!

The orchid centerpiece of Lauren's bouquet fell out so Blake is trying to fix it.

I think you got it now.

Kevin, Kathleen, Blake and Lauren, Paula and Roger. Lauren asked Kevin to be one of the witnesses. That was very sweet!

It looks as if Blake and Roger are fixing Lauren's train, or "bustling" it.

We lucked out with the weather. It rained in the night on Friday and then while we were outside waiting for Lauren and Blake to come out, I felt a few sprinkles but the rain held off until Saturday night.

Paula is advising Lauren while Blake looks on.

I had to ask Lauren to pose for this one because I missed it when she did it the first time.

Here the photographer is posing Lauren. I really like the shot where Blake is standing behind Lauren and her train is emphasized.

Ashley and Sydney were excited to watch the newlyweds cut the cake.

Blake used a fork to feed Lauren. I don't think I've ever seen that done!

Sydney applauds the couple at the first dance.

No, she's not a vampire.

On the way home from Kyra and Brad's this afternoon when it was time to change drivers, I pulled off the highway and found Eric's gravesite and imagine my surprise when I found Lauren had already been there and left her wedding bouquet. Kevin and I were both crying. It was a very nice weekend. I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures of Lauren's siblings. They were all there with their fiance's except Briana. Oh wait, Ryan was there but he's not engaged.
