ANYWAY, on Thursday, Lydia and I went to Chelsea's naughty shower where the both of us learned a thing or two! We had fun having dinner with the girls, and it was fun to see Chels before the wedding day.
The sealing was beautiful. It was so fun to watch Nestor's face. He has a really cute smile, which he doesn't show off near enough. I was so pleased with the two of them getting sealed in the temple. That is the best way to start of a marriage! The weather was amazing, and it was fun to visit with everyone outside. It was really fun to see my good friend Candace too. She was the photographer. You can see her site here. I never get to see her when I am down because she is always shooting, so that was really fun for me!
The reception that night was a blast! It was beautifully decorated, knowing of course that Jeanette cannot do anything simple! I was worried Olivia would be difficult because she started the night off with a fever from teething.
Luckily she felt better fast after a little Tylenol, and then we couldn't peel her off the dance floor! The kids had a blast gettin' down! I think every time a flash went off Olivia thought it was for her.
It has been said to "dance like no one is watching." Olivia was dancing and hoping everyone was watching! She was so funny. Spencer liked the dance floor, but he LOVED the chocolate fountain and the candy table. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and said, "Have you seen Spencer's shirt?" Oh well. He came to party, and that he did! He loved playing with Alli and Jessi! They were nothing but T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
I have to say that one of my favorite parts of the night was when the DJ was finished and the Mariachi band started to play. I swear, you had to be there to see it. ALL the white people backed away and ALL the Mexicans ran to the dance floor! Oh, I was dying! After a song or two, the whities weren't so afraid. It was so fun to have the live music there. It was even better to actually see people dancing.
Finally, a highlight of the night was Lydia catching the bouquet! Hooray for Lydia! Now all we have to do is find her a man! Here she is with Nestor's brother (I think). Doesn't she look pretty?!!
Oh, I guess I can't forget the shot of the bride! Chelsea looked so beautiful!!! I didn't get very many shots of them because I have a thing for taking shots the same time as the photographer, I think it is so tacky! So, here is one of my few pics of Chels. Sorry, it isn't very good!
The whole day was beautiful, and the night was quite a fiesta! I know for sure the party continued late into the night because they were moving the party to Nestor's parent's house after it was done at the Nelson's! I wish you could have been there to see it, but maybe some of you will be at Rachel and Miles' reception in a couple weeks. It is at Cal and Jeanette's too!
I just have to put this shot in because I think it is so cute. It is of Olivia Lauren and Lauren (Ryan's 'friend').
THE END.

HOW FUN! I'm loving all the damage on Spencer's shirt. He is a crazy man. Also, Oli's little skirt/boots combo is so stinkin cute I could die. How fun it looked! We're hoping to get up to Rachel's stuff, I'd at least like to go to the sealing. We'll see!
I think its funny that we used some of the same pics. It was fun to see you guys, next time Kevin will have to come down.
so fun. i love weddings, especially family ones.
i love olis outfit as well and spencers shirt looks familiar..maybe because thats what my boys shirts would loook like if i would let them anywhere near a chocolate fountain!
don't blame the little boys, my shirt looks the same way when I get near a chocolate fountain too.
Seriously! You need to look at Stacey's blog to see the picture of Alli and Lance at the choco fountain! Priceless.
Olivia threw a total tantrum when I wasn't going to pack her boots. I had to plan an outfit around them so I didn't have to deal with the screaming and rolling on the floor again. Like mother like daughter! Oh yea, she made me pack a total of 5 pairs of her shoes!!!
Oh honey, you got some fun times ahead of you!
I know. I'm scrrd!
This was so much fun. Just get ready for tomorrow when I do a new post. There will be plenty for pic! hehe Oh, and can you send me the ones with me in them. I don't have any with me and I want to show the roommies my dress. :)
Oh yeah. And true that on the man! I need to go on some hot dates. So if you set me up, make sure that he is a hottie! hehe
LOVE THE PINK BOOTS!! Sounds like you guys had a blast! I'm glad you made it alive with 2 kids on a roadtrip. Gives me hope that one day I can do it.
Olivia does look so freakin' cute in her skirt and boots. Luv it (of luff it, right?)! I don't know if I could handle a road trip with my kiddies....maybe if I had some other adults around to keep me from driving into oncoming traffic.
It was fun to see you guys...we should try to get the girls together when they are not both teething! Oli was super cute dancing around that floor...she's wonderful!
So cute! So, I want to know what you learned at the shower...maybe Dwight and Kevin an do some exchanging (wink, wink)
Kevin still wants to know what Dwight's "things" are! Ha ha!
Where did you get the boots?
Did Candace ever get pregnant? She is so talented!
The boots are from Target.
No, she isn't pregnant yet. Hopefully one day. Her parents are going on a mission in the next few months, so she thinks it will happen as soon as they leave. You know, just 'cause that is how life works out. I can't wait to see her be a mom!
I need to call her. I emailed her but it was returned.
