Last Meal

Stockton and Alyssa had their early morning photo shoot. Glad I didn't have to wake up that early. We had a fun day with family here! So cool that Rachel, Matt and Sam were all able to come. Mike and Christen couldn't come because Blake is playing in the Little League World Series in Waco, Texas. We watched his game on ESPN again. It was sooooooo awesome. Blake got a hit and then he got hit. He was on first and the catcher threw the ball to first to try and get Blake. Blake dove back to first and the ball hit him right on the elbow. Scary. It was fun to watch Blake, but his team lost and they are out of the tournament. What an incredible experience.

Aubrey and Blake

The ball left seams in Blake's elbow

The kids had so much fun with Bear. Bear was a good sport. Although I wonder if he was signaling help with his eyes.

We left this afternoon to check into our hotel. We had booked a hotel close to the temple before I knew my family was coming. They stayed at our house and had a great time. We went for a last family meal with the original six. We went to Kitchen 88 and it was delicious. Jorja wasn't feeling well though.

Jorja, Maysen, Stockton, Preston, Mike, Stephanie

Mike spent the rest of the night working on a wedding slide show. Maysen told him to use 'Mario Love Song' It ended up being perfect. I forgot my steamer and was annoyed at myself. I tried to use the hotel iron for the dresses, but it seemed like the iron was going to ruin them. I decided to just go home and get the iron. Lame. I did get to talk with Rachel and Sam for a bit when I was there. I hurried back. The kids were all asleep. Going to be a busy, fun day tomorrow!

Blake's on ESPN

Today was a LONG day. Mike and I got up around 4:00 in the morning and headed to the cabin. There was a lot of construction right before we got there. I was getting antsy because I had a game I wanted to watch. We ended up arriving at the cabin just in time for Mike to start work and for me to watch Blake play in the Little League World Series on ESPN. It was AWESOME! Blake's team lost, but Blake was amazing. He got a lot of screen time. It was incredible watching him. So so so so fun.

Mike and I bought food for Stockton and Alyssa. They are going to spend there honeymoon here at the cabin. We stocked up the fridge and left them with a $50 gift card to the grocery store. We also left them a few gifts.

Once Mike was finished with work and we had everything ready at the cabin we headed home. We arrived home to find Alyssa's parents in the driveway. They had taken Stockton and Alyssa to dinner and Leatherbys. Stockton was gathering a few things and is going to stay the night at Alyssa's house. They are getting bridal pictures taken super early tomorrow morning. Stockton is planning on getting up at 4:15 and Alyssa is planning on getting up at 2:45. So...... I'm glad I am not them.

Matt and his family are staying at our house this weekend. They got here while we were gone. Rachel got here tonight. She brought Mina, Grace and Eve. So we have a houseful this weekend! It's going to be great!
