The amazing reception










Briana's Wedding

Briana had the most beautiful wedding, and she looked amazing! Welcome to the family, Ryan!!!











Aubrey's visit!!!!!!!!!!!

Aubrey and Kyle came to visit us before Briana's wedding. We had a ball! Aubrey painted a mural for Ice King (the family business) She did so much more than these few pictures, but I will have to post more later. We had so much fun with them, and Ariana and Connor had a blast with their cousin. We love them so much!!!!!!!!!!

Kids will be kids







Slip and Slide







Happy July!!!!

This has been an interesting month. Briana got married and so that was an experience and a half. Bryan is almost finished with his Associates degree. Amber has been working at Ice King in the new Oasis. She enjoys it and she enjoys getting out to visit with "grown-ups." The kids are doing awesome. Ariana broke her collar bone last week but you couldn't tell that by watching her run all over the yard. Connor is a typical 18 month old, he likes to wrestle with his dad.

This has been an extremely hectic 6 weeks, and I mean way more than usual. In fact, I am somewhat surprised that I even survived such utter chaos and mad insanity, but here I am! So, Sister Monique Mullenaux left us to go to the MTC and it has been extremely hard without her, but she will be fantastic and be back in what hopefully feels like a jiffy. Ronja had to go back to Germany, which was very hard and we all miss her very much. She turned 18 on June 12, so everyone wish her a happy birthday! We love you and miss you so much, darling! Briana got married on june 12 (welcome to the fam, Ryan:) to a mondo stud who I just love! Aubrey came for almost 2 weeks, with major responsibilities (she had to paint an entire mural on the front of the Ice King) which I must say is unbelievable. A huge part of our family came from Utah and CA for the wedding, so that has been a blast. Bryan has been working ridiculous amounts of hours and putting in tons of time for school, so that has been a real challenge. I have been working at Ice King Oasis, which made me start to feel like a female version of my dad. Anyone who knows him knows that he almost never leaves his job, and I seemed to be following in his footsteps. I am just hoping that things will start to settle down soon, and maybe get back to "normal" whatever that is.













amazing birthday parties, fun in the sun, mud monsters and playdough

It has been about 4 months since I last posted, and I feel pretty dumb. I decided I would at least give a few updates on what has been going on. We got a foreign exchange student from Germany, who has been so much fun. She came to live with us February 4, and we have had such a blast getting to know her. Her name is Ronja Gillmeister, and the kids are loving their new "big sister".
