So there was this boy and there was this girl that fell in love and got married, August 17, 2013 was their special day.
We were more than excited for Cody's youngest brother Kjell when we found out he had finally popped the question to his sweetheart Kaylee. She fits into the Pehrson family so well and ALL the kids love her. Jo is constantly asking about her, and praying for her and asking to call her.
And boy did they have a fun, busy and exciting wedding weekend. It all started on Wednesday night for us when we left for Delta at 9:30pm to arrive in Delta at 1:30am.
The next day we got up and helped Cody's mom and dad start decorating their yard for an open house Friday night and then that afternoon we left for Richfield to pick up the reception table and chairs and then headed to Manti to do a session at the temple at which Kaylee received her own endowment. We got home at about 11 that Thursday night and hit the sack so we could be rest up for a long day of decorating Friday.
And we had a long day for sure! We started early decorating, and ended late undecorating. I kept teasing Kjell telling him that I hadn't even made that many decorations for my own wedding. Its a good thing I like him and Kaylee. Lets just say the reception turned out so cute and creative. All Gma Carrie's hard work came together and it looked good. Here are a few of the decorations we came up with:
And I was able to swipe one of the backdrop flower arrangements and it still loooks super cute on my front door!
My laundry room looked so gloomy with out 30 of these decorated bottles and flowers on my counter tops. But I was glad to have the room back!
Sign in table. Thanks to my Aunt Ellen for the pic hanging idea
I fell in love with these pillows. Some day I'm going to learn how to cross stitch better and make myself some. They were of all the 12 months of the year
My sweet girl! She was such a big girl all weekend and pretty much took care of herself while we decorated. She had to take a pic with her little statue friend!
I do have to admit, this pregnant lady was so happy I wasn't any more pregnant at the end of this day. I was so tired that by the time I went to bed I don't remember even waking up at all... which is a big deal for a pregnant woman! haha
The next day was the big day! We had to be up to the Oquirrah Mtn Temple at 9:30 which required us to get up super early and drive up North.
Jo was so tired!
It was a bit windy at the temple but Jo didn't care she still looked so cute!
It was so cute, as soon as the happy couple came out of the temple, Jo was the first to run up to them. She loves them!
Cutie Lexie.
Lex was pretty much the only grandchild that would participate in pics.
All the Pehrson grand kids. Ashley P and I said we should have stuck our belly's in the pic but that might have been a little weird... haha
After the temple we hit the road once again to go to the luncheon in Pleasant Grove at which we ate our selves to death and then headed to the Spanish fork reception and then back to Delta.
By the time Sunday morning came, we were all exhausted! 4 nights of late nights was a bit much for us. We enjoyed being able to sleep in and then took our time cleaning up the rest of Gma Carrie's yard.
Wagon ride. Jo said she thought mom and dad's horses could pull it... she wanted us to go get our horses so we could go on a longer ride.
All in all it was a great weekend. We were so happy for the newlyweds and ever since that day Dallie has asked to call Kaylee, but I wasn't sure if the honeymooners wanted to be disturbed in Hawaii! (so lucky!)
