Idaho Falls with the Asays

Stockton is staying in Mapleton with Alyssa's family this week, Jorja and Preston are both at FSY in Provo. Mike and I left today to go to the cabin. Maysen is going to stay and do work from home. Tage and her husband Dallin met us this morning and we drove to Idaho Falls. We went through Idaho Falls for two reasons. One, we were towing the boat and there are less boat check-in stations that way. Two, so we could get the jet ski fixed. Mike picked up a part last week so he could fix the jet ski and home. Saturday morning I hear him yell, "NOOOOO!!!" The part he bought was damaged. It had a bigger rock in it than the one he was trying to replace. Mike called the company yesterday and they told him if he brought it in, they would fix it for him. Not bring the jet ski in, but basically what Mike was going to do this weekend. We had to be there around 1:00. Tage and Dallin went in this crystal store while we dropped off the part. I tried to get a picture of them through the window, but it didn't work out too well. Then we drove to a vegan restaurant that I had been excited to go to. I wanted to try their cashew burger. Too bad it was closed. Mike thought we should eat at the restaurant in Swan Valley that Bear can go in. I looked it up online and it was closed. We ended up walking around Idaho Falls (the park, not the city) while we were waiting for the park and ordered Mexican food from a random taco truck. Mike and I got carne asada fries to share. They were the best carne asada fries I have ever had! The fries were so crispy. Delicious. It was so much fun to hang out here. The weather was perfect too. Nice to get the jet ski fixed this way!

Tage & Dallin

We got up to the cabin, no problem. It was so fun getting to know Tage and Dallin better. They are so sweet. I'm excited for this week. Meanwhile... I have been texting Jorja asking if she knows how Preston is doing. Preston wasn't really answering my texts. She said she saw him at the dance and he looked happy. Earlier today she sent me this text thread and it made me laugh. Preston is so funny and I love how much Jorja was looking out for him. I have absolutely no idea what he meant with that emoji at the end. I sure love those two!

Wedding and a Baby

Tage had her wedding reception today. She got married December 6th but wanted a summer reception. They had it in Sherry and Matt's backyard. It turned out great and we had a lot of fun. Steve and Shannon told us that Spencer and his wife had a baby this morning! His name is Arthur. How exciting! He has a lot of hair and looks so much like Spencer! Anyway, back to the wedding. We had a lot of fun. All of my children were able to come except Stockton who is in Texas. Mike and I sat by Mona and we were soon joined by Lisa and Nathan. So fun to see them! Nice they could make it all the way from California! The kids made their own kid table and it made me laugh. Jorja brought a friend, Nathan, who was surprised when he saw his brother at the wedding too. Jorja looked at him and said, "Are we related????" Hahaha. No, his brother was friends with Tage in high school. Tage had a cute vw bug that was turned into a photo booth. Our pictures were fun, but I didn't bother scanning them in. Lazy me. The weather was perfect and it was nice to see tons of family. We left when Mike couldn't stand being by horses anymore. He stayed on the other side of the yard. There wasn't any wind for a long time. A little breeze came by after awhile and Mike was done. Horses make him miserable. Poor guy. He loves horses too. I didn't get any pictures of Dallin, but we got some of Tage. Hope Tage and Dallin have a wonderful life together! They sure seem a lot alike!

Took the last picture as I was leaving. They had just finished getting a picture and I ran back and snapped one. Not the best picture, but the only one I have with Xander and Miah in it!

Lisa and Nathan were anxious to know what the plan would be for Stockton's wedding. They are hoping to make it, but when you have to fly that is easier said than done. The only thing I knew was that the temple ceremony was scheduled for 7:00 am in the Timpanogos Temple. I got ahold of Stockton after we left and found out that the reception would be at White Willow in Provo at 10:00 in the morning. Normally the grooms family is supposed to do a wedding breakfast, but with the breakfast reception that doesn't make sense. I asked Stockton if he and Alyssa would want a wedding dinner the night before, or would they just want the money we would have spent. They wanted the money. I asked him to make sure Alyssa was fine with that. She was. I asked him to make sure Alyssa's family was fine with that. They are. So, that will be a lot easier for us. Saturday morning. Hope Lisa and Nathan can make it!

Tage is Married!

Tage got married today. She married Dallin Asay. They met in high school and reconnected this year. They are planning on working at the ski resort and living in a van. Hahaha. That is so Tage! (Tage does have a double major in International Studies and English Teaching with a minor in Arabic.) Tage just had parents, siblings and some high school friends. They got married in a canyon in Southern Utah. Dallin's dad married them. They started wondering if they had crossed into Arizona. Their wedding license was for Utah. So, when they went to lunch after the wedding, Dallin's dad married them again... just in case. She said she is planning on doing a reception in June. Tage seems really happy, so that is great!

Tage & Dallin with Xander, the ring bear

Cori gave Tage Sharen's wedding ring. Grandma Honey died 16 years ago today. Tage didn't know about it until Dallin put the ring on her finger. What a cool moment for her.
