CONGLOMERATION

I just learned a new word: conglomeration: a number of different things, parts or items that are grouped together; a collection.  Sooo... this is a conglomeration of the past few weeks.

Scott and I got to go support a few more family members in their soccer games.  We are so proud of our niece and nephew.

Dad, Scott and I with the highest scorer on her team: Cantelope

Tostitoes played so well!  And he's handsome to boot!

Then Mariah had a bridal shower.  It was lovely - just like her.

I know Mariah LOVES books.

So I got her a few items to decorate her bookshelf with - including an antique-looking water jug.

GJ and Sheila also gave Mariah books for her collection - books that were a part of Grandma T's collection.

My amazing nephew, Licorice, keeps finding me amazing mushrooms.  I love his thoughtfulness.  And of course, I find quite a few myself.  I just think they are so beautiful!  Sooo... I have to share.

This one is yellow.

You should have seen the huge one he got me.

I didn't get a picture.

There were hundreds of mini mushrooms in about a 4x4 ft. space.

They were so cute.  My grandson loved touching them.  He said they feel rubbery.

This one we saw growing out of a stump on our way to church.

Scott saw it and allowed me to get out of the car for a picture.

Isn't it lovely?

Red Skittles came to visit again.  For Mariah's wedding to Peter Koerper.  Here are some adorable pics of my grandson.  

He was so excited to get his own little container of bubbles to blow at Mariah and Peter.

He had to practice to actually get a bubble.

He was so excited when he figured it out.

And then Mariah's wedding was beautiful.  From the pictures, you can see how much Peter loves her.  I'm so grateful she found him and that they chose to get married here in the Meridian temple.  I was so excited to celebrate with her.  Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Koerper!

Aren't they amazing?!

And RIGHT after the ceremony, my sister, Kristi, took this amazing photo of the eclipse.

And these two munchkins had so much fun at the reception.

They played so hard!

Our grandsons:  Red Skittles and Berry

Scott and I at the reception

I've also been making the best raspberry jam with my dad's raspberries, if I say so myself.  Apparently the raspberries have a history.  They come from my dad's best friend, Gary Smith, who got them from Alaska.  Alaska raspberries are DELICIOUS!  

I also was asked to take family pictures for my daughter.  Unfortunately it was raining when planned to take them.  And unfortunately, Skittles didn't enjoy the photo shoot.  But some of the pictures turned out ok.

And here is a conglomeration of photographs that are really just random:

This cool grandson!

And he's so silly!

I finished this cross stitch.

I loved seeing two of my sisters wearing cute overalls.

I begged for a picture.

Aren't they AWESOME!

I need a pair of overalls.  Then we could be triplets.

I love throwing rocks with my grandson.

We went and threw rocks twice this past weekend together.

He's a lefty!

I had to get this dinosaur sweat suit for my Red Skittle!

I plan on blogging about my daughters' trip to Yellow Stone next.  So stay tuned.
