To Wyoming and a wedding

I love new babies! The new baby smell and the tiny little hands and feet just make me all warm and happy inside. Well, this past week Tagg and I got to stay with my sister Aubrey and her family. We went to help her so she could just worry about taking care of their third and newest little girl Candice. My sister and her hubby Ben make the CUTEST girls!
It was so fun to go and spend a week with them, even if we were all sick the entire time. Between wiping noses, coughs, trips to the doctor and being delirious from lack of sleep, my two older nieces kept us all laughing with their impressions of Pip from Disney's Enchanted. My two nieces Brooklyn and Alex were such great helpers not only in making us laugh but in taking care of Candice,Tagg and their Mom. One night I even got treated to a foot rub from Alex and got my hair and nails done by Brooklyn. Are they the best or what?
But,I have to say that my favorite parts of that week were; holding baby Candice, doing crafts with Alex and Brooklyn, and heart to hearts with Aubrey on the couch. I always love going to her house. I always leave inspired with new recipes, ways to organize and insights into how to be a better parent.

Tagg loved hanging out with his cozens, and just being one of the gang. Sometimes I feel like he gets so board just hanging out with me all day. And I feel a bit guilty that he doesn't have any siblings to play with. As you can see in this picture he just isn't sure what to with other kids during tub times. Thank's Walker fam for everything!

That weekend we drove to Utah for my Grandpa Ottesen's wedding. My Grandma Dewey passed away 3 years ago last and March. He had been so lonely and sad until he met Margret (his new wife). It's almost like he has come back to life after meeting her. Now he has a spring in his step and is constantly smiling.

What an amazing experience it was to be there while they were married. It's hard to explain the feelings of love and joy that filled the room. I am so grateful that I was able to be there to witness this happy event. I am so happy for them both and can hardly wait to get to know Margret better.
