Tab & Pete's Rehearsal

 Joanna is so excited to be a flower girl!
 Getting ready to walk down the aisle...
as a bridesmaid, of course! ;-)


 Rehearsal was a bit crazy, but what's new
with our big, crazy families?! ;-)
 We bridesmaids had a lot of fun, though!
Sarah Magnuson was a hoot! :-)  I especially
enjoyed her "signals" during the actual ceremony!
I think we probably had the best bridal party ever! :-)
 Yuta & Kenji did an excellent job playing!  It was beautiful!
 Can you believe it's tomorrow?!
 Rehearsal dinner was at Cottage Inn downtown.
 Anna & Anna :-)
 I love this candid shot!  What boys! ;-)


 Can you tell it was a bit noisy?! :-)

 Joanna was so happy about her tiara from Tab & Pete :-)
 Peter & his Mom
Only one more day until you become
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Magnuson!
So excited for you both and so honored
to be a special part of your big day!

Pictures in the Park

 Warning!  This is going to be a long post but what's new?! ;-)
We took pictures at a park last week & there are just too many
precious ones to leave any of these out!  I did leave some
out though, believe it or not! ;-)  Hope you enjoy!
 All the grandkids were in town for Tab & Peter's wedding
(actually all our family was in town!
It was SO nice to have everyone together again!),
so we took advantage of this situation :-)
Above pic:  The three girl grandchildren (minus baby Amberlee)
 Emily & Elena with their "Uncle Pab" :-)

in case you were wondering ;-), Mary, David, and Philip
 Now the spouses jumped in! :-)

 It was so fun to have Jack here for a few days!
 PRECIOUS!!! :-D

 Now for couple pics... :-)

 I love a lot of these pictures (if you can't tell),
but this one is probably one of my favorites!

That's all, folks!  Hope you enjoyed! :-)

Yuta's Recital

 Yuta prepared a recital as a wedding present for Tabitha &
Peter!  He did an excellent job!  I don't think he messed
up once & he had all 45 mins. or more of music memorized, too!
I know Tab & Pete appreciated it, Yuta!  Thanks for being so thoughtful!
 Some of the family already came into town for the wedding.
Tina, Steve, and kiddos got in that night before church
and Adam and Katie arrived on Monday night.
 Levi enjoying his ice cream after the recital :-)


 Yuta seemed to enjoy holding Amberlee :-)
After he stopped holding her she started fussing, so I
think she liked him, too! :-)  In the pic above, Shin
is trying to "feel for teeth" :-)  Anna informed him,
though, that she wouldn't have any this young :-)

 Love the color coordinating!
(I doubt it was on purpose, though! :-))
After Yuta's recital, cookies, cake, and ice cream were
prepared as a surprise for a "see you later" party for Yuta!
You will be missed while you are in Japan, Yuta!
