Keri's left hand sparkles!

After 2 weeks of creative dates and thoughtful letters, Kyle Knight proposed to Keri on October 1st, 2009.

Kyle has been in love with Keri ever since his Freshman year of high school when he first saw her in Seminary during her Senior year! Yes! She is older than him... and cuter of course!

Originally they were going to have a phone date at the same restaurant but in different cities. But as she was talking to him on the phone he walked in the door! Later that night she found a map at her house which eventually led her to their special spot on Mt. Tabor where he gave her a final letter. As she realized that every first letter of the previous letters spelled out:

M-A-R-R-Y M-E, Kyle got down on one knee and proposed.

She screamed YES! YES! YES! YES!

They plan to get married in the Portland, OR temple on March 20, 2010

So... save the date and come celebrate with our family this Spring!

CONGRATULATIONS KERI & KYLE!

Ashley & Steve's Wedding

Ashley and Steve were married on September 26, 2009.

We were so blessed to have so many of our family and friends there to celebrate this special day.

In the morning the house was full of girls, make-up, curling irons, hairspray and Oregon football!

Ashley was such a beautiful bride... Steve cleaned up real nice too!

All the sisters were brides maids including a couple of Ashley's friends. Morgan was the flower girl. Nate was one of Steve's groomsmen and Corey filled in last minute.

Bishop Rowley did an EXCELLENT job performing the wedding ceremony. Great words of wisdom and love were shared.

Morgan caught the bouquet and Corey caught the garter. The cutest thing was when Corey pulled Morgan out and danced with her!

CONGRATULATIONS ASHLEY & STEVE!

Lauren is 18!!!

Lauren had her 18th birthday on September 5th! None of us can believe it!

Just yesterday she was singing along to Barney songs, playing dress up and wearing her dad's cowboy boots, and making friends on the little league soccer field DURING the game!

Some of our favorite things about Lauren is how contageous her smile is. Whenever you see a picture of Lauren or are in her presence and she has a big smile on her face you can't help but be filled by her light! She is such a wonderful helper and hard worker. She is always there to help those in need and lift others up when they are down. She is a very loyal friend and loves everyone no matter who they are or what their circumstance. Now she is learning to drive, getting ready to graduate high school and start her college career. How did she grow up so fast?!

WE LOVE YOU LAUREN!!!
