A Beautiful Day!

So I've finally made it to the actual purpose for our Utah trip. The reason we travelled the total of about 32 hours, was because Kevin's younger brother (who I first knew as a cute 10-year-old) was getting married to an adorable girl with an infectious laugh. They are super cute together and we are very happy for them. We are also happy that their beautiful wedding forced us to make it back to the beginnings of our own little family, and of course visit some wonderful extended family members (Aunt Sue & Uncle Carl were especially gracious for allowing us to invade their home for the week).

Even though the day before the wedding had been rainy and wet, the wedding day itself was beautiful and mostly clear (albeit a little windy). I guess someone was looking out for the special couple.

  1. I am catching up on reading blogs cuz I have been a bit time deprived with our crazy move...but I just had to tell you how much I loved your Utah posts! All of that BYU stuff took me down memory lane too! What great times! And yes...you did spend every second with Kevin...which was great! Thanks for the jog down memory lane. Oh ya, I never hiked the Y either? I wonder why we never did it that first couple months of our freshman year...hmmm...too many other things to do I guess.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010

And to finish off April, we have ...  Earth-Day excitement! Porter's promposal to this sweet girl!! Which involved singing to her (with his bro. and buddies) in front of about 75 surprised onlookers. Happy Birthday to G-ma Loo:-) And sunny family day at the park ... Looks like the man bun is still going strong!;)

Baby Joseph

Another little miracle, Joseph Benjamin Dueck , arrived in our family September 5 th , 2010 at 3:23pm. Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
