THE PE'A FAMILY: May days with family and friends

This week has been so busy with planning the wedding on that was on the 17th and then the fun visits from Mark and sunshine and Daniel and Mckennas and the kids. Sadly we were so busy on Sunday with other family stuff we didn't get to go have cake with McKenna which I was sad about but it sounds like she had fun so thats the important thing! El put in more work than I can possibly describe for this wedding! He literally set up every single band practice and told everyone ones when and where to be and so it was really frustrating and stressful when some people wouldn't come sometimes or were late being that I don't think they realize how much work and time he sweated in to this. He came up with the entire set list on his own and conversed back and forth with Adam (the groom). He spent literally hours and hours fixing songs and figuring out how they could sound better. I just can't believe all the work he did while trying to do finals in calculus and engineering and working with next to no sleep.

Wednesday 14th
Fun at Lindsay Gardens Park or "beach Park" as Natalie puts it. Such fun in May

Night walk with Uncle Lyman, and his sisters dog which looked a leash on a pony!

Thursday 15th
Loving liberty park. We went on thursday morning and ended up meeting up with Lilly and Lydia and Mary. Fun day since Natalie had her play date with lydia the day before. It was like a double play date. I love the amazing spring weather!

Sunday 18th
Sunday was a busy day! El was so beat from the wedding and the week leading up to the wedding that he was too tired to even try and make it to our ward, so we went to his parents ward again and then had Tash come over for Sunday family time. El took a much needed nap, and then I went to Sunshines girls bbq later that night since I haven't seen her in over 8 months! it was really fun and we took some really great pictures of little Ally

She looks like a little girl here

fun evening walk

Monday 19th
Girls day with Sadie and Sunshine in Wyoming getting our hair and nails done! Natalie even got her cut and done too! She just loves Sadies mom or "Auntie tada mommy" I made my swedish meat pies for her mom since shes always wanted to try them and brought them up. We ate them before we did the hair. We all drove up in Sadies car with Sunshine in the back with little Ally. It was a great day and so much fun, even though Natalie and Ally were beat by the end of it! These two little girls are troopers!

Tuesday 20th
Today we all woke up feeling totally sick with fevers. I think it was just such a long day yesterday for Natalie, so we took it really easy today. She took a 5 hour nap and felt better when she woke up. And we went on a nice night walk to temple square tonight too, which I think helped.

Natalie and me with my lovely swollen lip :( got this awful cold sore that made my whole lip swell up. Not the business I will tell you!

Playing on the stairs, and then literally a second later she fell down all three stairs and got a pretty good scare. All was good though, no cuts or scrapes, just a good spook.

Wednesday 21st

Last day visiting with Mark and Sunshine. We took the kids to the Liberty Park splash pad and then out for a picnic at Moochies. Great day! So glad we did the picnic! It was so beautiful and so much fun!
