Wedding #2

Blake & Melissa Carlile's Wedding

Well I got through Wedding #2. Melissa's colors were Burnt Orange & Champagne. They were difficult colors to find. Melissa and Blake got married on June 28th, 2008. They were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple. It was a very nice day. Their reception was in a family friends backyard. It was a very nice reception. They did a dance to the song from Dirty Dancing, it was fun to watch. Of course there was lots of dancing and a fun time was had by all.

Sisters at Melissa's Wedding

So I went dark for Michelle's wedding and I got a lot of compliments so I decided to keep it. I really like it. So my hairdresser (My Sister Coco) suggested I add bangs. So I decided to go for it. I am all about trying new things, at least with the help with my excellent stylist Coco.

Princesses Avery, Melissa & Madison

These girls were so excited to look just like the bride. Their dresses kind of matched. They loved carrying her train. They felt really special. It was a very warm day outside so I am sure that Melissa enjoyed the draft she felt as the girls would raise her train a little high at times.

Owen has two older sisters and I think it is beginning to rub off on him. He loves to wear women's shoes. He is pretty good at walking in them too. I think he might be better than I am!!! Here are a few pictures to prove it.

Melissa is the third sister and she is my last sister to get married. It is Jeff and I left. Jeff is safe on a mission. He gets home this July of 2009. Yikes I can't believe he is already coming home. At both of the weddings this summer we had a cardboard cut out of Jeff. It was pretty life like. We are all so excited to see him when he gets home. He will come home to two new brother in laws and two new nephews. Our family is changing and growing. It is a lot of fun. I am sure that Marcus is very excited to finally have brother in laws in this family of girls. My dad finally got a job and is working for the city of San Jose. He comes home every other month. He is staying with Blake's Grandparents. My mom keeps busy at home with the new puppy that they got. They have a beagle. Chris and Michelle also moved into my parents house. Well that is the latest update on the Thornton Family.

Wedding #1

Michelle & Chris Pittman's Wedding Day

Well one wedding down and one to go. In case you didn't know I have two sisters getting married this summer. Michelle my baby sister got married this weekend May 31st. Chris & Michelle were sealed in the San Diego Temple. It was a really pretty day. The sun was shining and the sky was soooo blue. It was fun to be around family and friends and enjoy this special day. Michelle's colors were grey and pink. Talking the guys into wearing pink was a little difficult. The reception was at the Orange Stake Center. Our family really enjoys dancing, so of course we had a big dance party that night. It was a lot of fun !!

Sister's on Michelle's Wedding Day.

So I decided to go darker with my hair right before the wedding. Now Tammi is the only one with blonde highlighted hair. I guess she has to stay light so that she can look like she is the mother to her blonde - children.

Madison & Avery with their favorite uncle Jeff. These two little girls really miss their uncle Jeff. When Coco brought out the life size poster board that she had made of Jeff they were soooo excited. They were also a little sad, because it reminded them of how much they missed him. Coco had this picture blown up from her wedding so he already has a tux on!! I thought it was a great idea since he would miss two of his sister's weddings. When Jeff left on his mission he said he wanted all 3 of his sisters to be married when he got back. Well 2 down and one to go - ME!! Melissa is the other sister that is getting married this summer. Her wedding is 4 weeks to the day after Michelle's. She is getting married June 28th.

Owen enjoyed playing in the flowers and eating them more them holding them and looking pretty for the camera. He is all BOY!!

The Bride & Groom - Michelle & Chris!!

Update

I guess I forgot to say whose kids those are. My sister Tammi is the only who has kids in our family. I can't say she is the only one married anymore because my sister Nichole aka CoCo just got married in January. Her wedding family picture was my first post. Tammi has 3 children. She has two girls and now 1 boy. They are Madison - 5, Avery-2, Owen-almost 2 months. It is soo much fun to have them living close by. I love to visit with my nieces and nephew. They live in San Marcos, CA which is down in San Diego. So it isn't too close only about an hour and half away from Orange County. Well that is enough about them.

I am currently living in Huntington Beach, CA. I am still single, and for the most part I am enjoying that. I live with one roommate, her name is Amy. She owns the house. There is 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is very cute!! I work in Newport Beach for a family owned business. I do all the bookkeeping- accounting work for them. It keeps me busy. I do have my CA and UT Elementary Teaching Credential. I went back to school in 2001 to get my BA in Elementary Education. After a year of looking for a job while substituting I gave up and went back to accounting. Eventually I hope to find a teaching job and get back to it. I loved teaching!! I go to a mid-singles/family ward in Huntington Beach. I really enjoy it. It is much better than YSA wards!!! Well I am at work so I have to run.
