Rehersal Dinner

What a day! Friday was the family dinner at the Ranch where Cait and Jace are getting married so the day was spent cooking and preparing food.... started very early in the morning and in the end it worked out great and we had more than enough food! The Ranch is beautiful and the only concern would be... the weather! But we will have faith that it will all work out and be a wonderful day!!!

We ran through a rehersal and then ate and had s'mores for dessert and enjoyed getting to know each other. We really think a lot of Cait's family and it was fun to meet all of them.

It is interesting at times like these to see the range of emotions... I am so very happy for their wedding. Caitlyn is so much a part of our family that it wouldn't be right to not have here officially ours. Jace loves her so much... it has been so amazing to see his feelings for her grow, and become the kind of love that will last them forever! And I am so grateful to see him find the one that will love him completely and know that they will work to make their marriage what they want it to be! They have gone through some extremely hard struggles together already and have always come out stronger and better because of it. I love these two so much! And I love that she lets him still be 'momma's boy' even though we both know that she is the one that he will always take care of and honor and cherish first, above everything else. Maybe she is okay with it because she knows that I honor and cherish their love and their relationship and would never step between them? They are amazing, and this is going to be a great beginning! I can't wait to see them in the temple after Cait has been a member a year, but for now, this wedding is a wonderful thing to look forward to and a great thing for our family! We love you Caitlyn and Jace... thank you for being such amazing people!!!

Presenting Mr and Mrs....

Sweet kids, they were so excited!

Practice makes perfect.......

I have decided that I completely adore my girls... they have fun anywhere they are and bring so much joy to everything we do in life!

This ring bearer is a little unsure of what he is doing here!

These are some pretty girls!

Waiting for the wedding party to get it right!

I think this might be a little hard on her daddy... he adores his girls but we feel so blessed that he also loves Jace like a son. Jace is very lucky to marry into a family that loves him so much and we feel very blessed that they love him like he is a son to them!

Jace has overcome some pretty huge struggles... he has felt the most terrible pain and learned to walk through it. He has overcome and he has grown and become a man that any mom would be proud of and we pray that he has a life time of joy and that even when the hard times come, their love and faith will carry them through!!!
