Ding dong, ding dong, wedding bells are ringing!

Jenny got married! Woohoo! Saturday was Chuck and Jenny's wedding and it was a wonderful day. (Jenny is my sister FYI). We had so many people come from out of town it was great seeing everyone. Mallina and Eva were flower girls and they looked quite adorable if I do say so myself :) So here are a few pictures from the day...I need to edit the rest of them, they were taken at night so they need to be lightened up. But here is what I have along with the slideshows below. Enjoy!

Curlers

When I was little my mom used to put my hair up in sponge rollers, mostly for dance performances, but I have so many memories of having my long hair rolled up in those curlers. When we were in Utah the girls found some of my mom's curlers and we had fun putting them in their hair.



So then we started thinking about my sister Jenny's upcoming wedding and wondering how Mallina's hair would do in curlers so I found some at Target last night and tried it out. As I was putting them in her hair she said, "Look mommy, I'm Grandma Judy!" hahaha!
Eva wouldn't be left out of the fun even though she has her own natural curl like mommy.





Mallina didn't let me leave them in that long before she started pulling them out herself, but in about half an hour we got some nice ringlets in there. I am hoping she will let me leave them in longer next time. They are both obsessed with the curlers now and they each have one in their hair as I type :)

I got an iPhone, neener neener neener!

Our old phone service was crap and since the iPhone is $200 less for new customers, I splurged :) I love watching our car move along as I use the GPS, and having the internet with me wherever I go is awesome, and having my music all together with everything else is so cool. I have been playing around with the camera which leaves much to be desired actually...but here are some shots from the mall yesterday and of my little ballerina's this morning.





And here are both girls with Oreo mustashes...and Mallina in her goggles...hehe!


And my apologies for being a blogging flunkie...my laptop won't connect to the internet so I have been lazy to make any new posts. Since we are back in Arizona I don't have Ieli whining to me about posting new pictures of the girls all the time. I will try to be better!

AND.... I just have to mention that I am so lucky to know two AMAZING women who both gave birth to boy and girl twins within a week of each other! My friend Monica had her twins on August 31...Liahona and Levu are beautiful! AND my niece Nichole had her twins on September 8...Lucy and Sawyer are also beautiful! How did I get so lucky? (although I have to admit I have to breathe deeply to avoid being baby hungry whenever I look at them)

Throwing rocks down by the river

My sister Aly and I took our kids up to the reservoir so they could throw rocks into the river :) They each had a sucker in one hand and rocks in the other. There were a few mishaps where my girls had to wash their suckers in the river, but my biologist sister assured me the water was too cold for any bacteria to live there. Gotta love nerdy know it all sisters! (I LOVE you Aly.) Here are some pictures of our day...
