A New Sister!

Justin and Aly were married in the Salt Lake Temple on July 31st, 2009. I was so privileged to be able to go. I had some great friends at home that were willing to help my husband out with the kids, so just me and Abigail were able to fly out. What a treat! I love having a new little sister. Isn't she cute?

The whole Cook family with our new addition.

Grandma Suzie B trying to make Abigail smile or laugh, she wasn't having it. It had been nearly a year since she met her grandma, and of course didn't recognize or feel comfortable with anyone there but me. Poor baby!

Me and my boys! Can you believe we are all married now? It's crazy. We're all old and grown up and making families of our own. I am so blessed to have such great brothers. I only wish I lived closer and that we were all a little better at communication and keeping in touch. I miss the bond we all had growing up. It's still there, just a little dormant. Love them tons! I'm so proud of who they have become and the women they have brought into our family!

Mom and the kids.

What a good looking couple. They posted their pictures on Facebook a few weeks ago and I must say they are the best wedding fotos I've ever seen. Not only is their photographer good, but they are very photogenic!

This is how I had to make my way around the temple grounds- carrying a car seat on top of the stroller with Abigail. That's what happens when you don't have your own car and don't know who'll be driving you to the reception. It all worked out in the end, but we probably looked like a train-wreck.

Jared and Sylvia, what a cute couple! I just with they would've brought their sweet girls, it's been too long since I've been able to play the aunt role!

The happy groom. He was bursting with joy that day, what a special kid! I'm so happy for him!
