4th of July!

 Kyle and I were able to go over to Idaho Falls over the Holiday. We spent part of the time with Kyle's grandma and some of his family and then the other part of the time with Kevin and his family. On Tuesday, Kyle and Kevin started the day early with some golf and I went to the zoo with Becky and the kids and we sure had a fun time enjoying the nice weather and seeing the animals. Tuesday night we enjoyed a yummy dinner at Texas with Kevin & Becky, Kelsey & Taylor, & Rachel & Ben and then went and saw the new spiderman movie.
 On the 4th of July we were able to go on a picnic with Kevin, Becky & the kids and had a lot of fun playing at the park. Maddy really had fun on the swings and going down the slides and enjoyed Kyle helping her get across the monkey bar type rings.
 The boys enjoyed a little Frisbee.
 We were also able to relax a little in the shade.
 Kyle and Owen looking pretty pimp in their sunglasses.
 If someone didn't know any better, one might think this is a family picture and we have 3 kids :-)
 Maddy sure adores her Uncle Kyle
 However, here is the real family picture :-)
 We spend the rest of the evening having dinner at Kyle's grandma's house with Kyle's sisters and husbands and many other Kunde family members. Then we went to the fireworks show with his cousin Jason and his family. We sure enjoyed the great hospitality of Kevin & Becky as always and enjoyed our short trip.

McCall Wedding

 The flower shop I work at was in-charge of the flowers for a very big wedding in McCall, ID and I was able to go up with my boss and another designer and our husbands to put this wedding together. We had 6 hours to set up all the flowers and we used almost every minute to get everything looking perfect. We had to decorate this door which is completely covered in flowers.
 The big arch looking structure in the back is called a Chuppah - it is a traditional structure for Jewish Weddings and that is where the wedding ceremony takes place and that was also covered in flowers.
 It all looked very elegant and beautiful!
 There were two different styles of centerpieces for the tables, one low and...
 one high.
 Kyle taking a minute to relax after everything was set up, (the husbands were able to come and we sure enjoyed their help!) the wedding was along the lake shore and was just beautiful.
Being such a big and expensive wedding we were sure glad that everything went well and the Bride was very happy with her flowers. That evening we all enjoyed a nice dinner together and then went to our hotels to relax because we had to take everything down the next morning. But it was sure fun to be apart of this big event and Kyle and I enjoyed a little get away together.

2nd Half Marathon!

 On June 16th, I completed my 2nd Half Marathon with my friend Shelley. It was a beautiful day and we had a really great run!
 Sprinting to the finish!
 Just about there!
I think we look pretty good after running 13.1 miles!!

Memorial Day

 Last year Kyle and I ended up going to Denny for breakfast on memorial day and this year we woke up and thought that sounded like a great idea again so we are thinking we might need to make a tradition out of it. It was a beautiful and very sunny morning! (I'm sure you can tell that by the picture! :-)
