Congratulations Jessica and Blake!



Steven's niece Jessica married Blake in the LDS Los Angeles Temple on 8.8.08 . The man who married them talked about how in some cultures, the number 8 is believed to be lucky. He then showed how an 8 turned on its side is actually the symbol for infinity to describe how we believe that when we are married in the temple it is for all eternity. It was really special to be in the temple with family to celebrate Jessica and Blake's special day.

All of Jessica's little cousins were in the wedding party including Andrea, Michaela and Steen. The girls loved their new dresses and had so much fun going to California and visiting Grandma and Grandpa and their cousins.

Here is cousin Brittney with the girls.

Luckily Steen actually posed in the pictures.

We're so happy for Jessica and Blake!
Jessica and Blake got married 9 years and 1 day after we did in the very same temple. Look at how our family has grown since!

It was a wonderful occasion to get together as a family and celebrate the start of their new family. This is Steven's family with all 6 of his siblings and parents.

Happy anniversary!

Your kids are getting so big and changing so fast! I can't believe I really saw them just 8 months ago. I swear Michael's hair must grow an inch a week!
