Owen & Sydney Got Hitched!

On Thursday evening, Sydney and Owen had a BBQ at the park for friends and family to get together and enjoy some good food. We had ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and lots of yummy side dishes.

Here is Craig having a good time

Here is Rachelle having an even better time

Here I am with my favorite Grandma in the world. She even let me sit in her 4-wheeler!

Grandma recently had cataract surgery on both her eyes. She said it was pretty painful but she is doing really well now and she is grateful she can see.

Here is Bethany's little cutie, Jake

Owen started a wild water fight with all of the children and at one point he had to hide on top of the playground.

Go kids! Get him! Owen got drenched. (As well as all the kids!)

Here is Sara's little boy, Eli. I love the next sequence of photos...

Owen even got a bucket out. He was serious. Good thing this little girl has a cup full of water!

Huddled around the water spout filling up the buckets and cups. It was a full-blown war.

The wonderful photographer for the whole event, Sara.

On Friday at noon we all met at the Timpanogos temple where they were sealed. The sealer did a wonderful job, he was very funny too.

Julie is so beautiful.

Kissy time!

Owen looked so handsome in his fancy suit!

Everyone's so happy!

Including Owen and Sidney!

Later that night was Owen and Sydney's reception. It was in Orem up above Cascade golf course. The view was beautiful. It was a little windy, but it felt good because it cooled everything off. The food was delicious and fresh, and I loved the smoothies they served.

Here is Sydney getting ready to toss the bouquet!

Aiming...

Here's the girl who caught it!

Yummy food!

Here was the view from the foothill we were on.

Friends and Fam

Leaving!

Quotes that Inspire

“If you work hard you will be happy, if you don’t, you’ll go to hell.” -- Brigham Young.

"The greatest joy we can have in this life is bringing the best out of others." --Anonymous

“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives...” -- Ron Paul

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." --Admiral Hyman G. Rickover

"I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up." --Tom Lehrer

"A resistance to anything that limits one’s conduct has almost taken over society. Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility, where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences." -- Boyd K Packer

"There will be occasions in each of our lives when we will be called upon to explain or to defend our beliefs. When the time for performance arrives, the time for preparation is past." --Thomas S. Monson

"Why do we assume that simple is good? Because with physical products, we have to feel we can dominate them. As you bring order to complexity, you find a way to make the product defer to you. Simplicity isn't just a visual style. It's not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. It involves digging through the depth of the complexity. To be truly simple, you have to go really deep. For example, to have no screws on something, you can end up having a product that is so convoluted and so complex. The better way is to go deeper with the simplicity, to understand everything about it and how it's manufactured. You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential." -- Jonathan Ive, from the book, Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson

"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult." --E. B. White

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves." --Albert Einstein

“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” --Vince Lombardi

"Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." --Gordon B. Hinckley

"Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?"
--Anonymous

"The nearer man approaches perfection, the clearer are his views, and the greater his enjoyments, till he has overcome the evils of his life and lost every desire for sin; and like the ancients, arrives at that point of faith where he is wrapped in the power and glory of his Maker and is caught up to dwell with Him. But we consider that this is a station to which no man ever arrived in a moment.” --Joseph Smith

"Broaden your vision; Lengthen your stride." --Spencer W. Kimball

"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." --Martin Luther King Jr.

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” --Confucious

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." --Mark Twain

"There's a simple rule for becoming a writer, or an artist, or a photographer: do it. If you want to become a photographer, take pictures. If you want to become a writer, write. If you want to become and artist, draw. There is no substitute. There is no royal road offered by taking courses or reading how-to books. Unless you sit down and do it, such things are utterly useless.

Now, becoming a better writer, artist, dancer or what-not will perhaps benefit from instruction, but instruction is not a substitute for action. Taking a course in writing is a bit like buying a diet book and not doing anything else. The diet book will not magically make you slender and desirable. You've got to eat less and exercise more, and the book is not going to do it for you.

I think of such things as the "illusion of action." You think you're doing something when you're watching the TV news. You think something has happened because you bought a diet book. You think you've done something because you took a course in writing, but unless you have brought something to it, nothing at all has happened." --David Lance Goines

"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him." --Booker T Washington

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” --Les Brown

"...So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought." --Gandalf from“Lord of the Rings”
