8 days after Jane was born, Ryan (Kevin's brother) married Julie Talyor in the Salt Lake Temple. I had been looking forward to the sweet occassion and had prayed that Jane would come soon enough that I could go. I was able to attend, thanks to my family for watching Emery and Katie and Megan for watching Jane during the ceremony. It was such a beatiful day. The wedding was held at 8:40 in the morning, so pictures afterwards behind the temple in the shade were just perfect! The flowers were in full-bloom (perfectly characteristic of the temple grounds) and there was not a cloud in the sky. We were so glad we could be a part of their perfect day. Congratulations Ryan and Julie!
We like to take flower shots on the wedding day to help the couple remember how beautiful it was:
Julie's family went all out for the reception and they had a lady in their ward make red dresses for all the nieces. Jane wasn't going to get one, just 'cause she was so small. Then the seamstress heard there was going to be a brand-new baby there - she used the left over material and made Jane a dress! YAY! It was so cute! The colors in Jane's pictures are great - wish she had been happy...can you blame her? On the grass at 8 days old? What were her parents' thinking?
It was hard to get a smile from Emery too. I hope the photographer got a good one...
Jane getting progressively more upset...
Man, it's hard to get everyone to smile. And we only have 2 kids!
I've also been needing to add more pictures of Jane and we've been trying to keep up a similar pace of taking pictures of her as we did for Emery...almost impossible! You always hear that after the first baby there aren't near as many pictures of the other kids. It's a sad, true fact. Here are a few any way...
