HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!

These are my two girls, McKenna and Brinlee. I don't know what I'd do without them. They put up with my air-headedness, my pouting fits, my insanity when I completely lose it, and my crazy shenanigans. They were both beautiful little girls and have grown into wonderful young women. They are off to find their own adventures now and I hope they will forego all my faults and take only my better qualities to emulate. I know they will not forget what we tried to teach them by word and by example. I want them both to know how blessed I feel to have them in my life. And thank both of you for making my Mother's Day 2010 very special.  

Love you, gorgeous, sweet ladies!

ISN'T SHE LOVELY?

McKenna doesn't know I'm blogging about this so don't tell her. But we got the photos from her bridal shoot today and I can't wait to show y'all these pics.

They are gorgeous!

Thank you to

The setting sun and the red rock seem to turn the wedding dress pink.

That's all, folks!

I don't know whether to smile with joy or cry cuz my baby's getting married. Oh well, to quote a favorite movie, "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion."

P.S. My conscience got the best of me.  I couldn't do it.  I had to call and ask McKenna's permission to blog this. Just so you know.

2010 SISTERS AND KENNY TOUR

As some of you may know, Kenny Chesney is not taking his show on the road this summer. Because of this the 2010 Sisters and Kenny Tour has been cancelled. In it's place we'd like to present:
The 2010 Three Generations of Kenny Fans Event.

Introducing the youngest family Kenny fan: Miss Kimber Morris

Yes, Kenny fans, here she is, ready for her first 3D movie, "Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D"! Notice the look of excitement and anticipation on her face!! Okay, maybe she just can't figure out what the big glasses are for. I don't know, but whatever she's thinking, she's cute as a bug!

Seriously, though, she had the best time at this Kenny movie. She stood in our laps and danced like it was 1982! She was bouncing and pointing and even clapping for our man, Kenny. The movie was mostly footage of his sold-out stadium tours last year. My favorite part was the footage of him singing in the downpour in Dallas, TX. And his diehard fans right there with him, singing every word. Classic! And I was there!! It rocked. (Please see video at the bottom of the blog for a taste of what you missed. Be sure to pause the music player so you don't miss a word.) When Kenny slowed down a bit, Miss Kimber crashed. She completely passed out, loud music and all. All in all, we had a BLAST! And even though there was no stalking Kenny at the hotel (just kidding, we are very respectful of his privacy...hehe), or room service breakfasts, we had a great time. Thanks Brinlee and Kyle for helping me enjoy my summer Kenny fix!

Young Love (assorted engagement pics)

Exciting Times!

Can't believe my baby is engaged to be married! She will be marrying Adam Herpel, son of Mark and Kalynn Herpel, on June 4, 2010 in the St George Temple. Adam asked her to marry him last November during a hike in Zion National Park.

It's been a lot of fun getting to know Adam and seeing their relationship grow. They are the cutest couple! As of now, we are immersed in the details of wedding planning and home remodeling. We want all our friends and family to know how much we appreciate their helping hands as we struggle to get everything ready for the big day. McKenna and Adam have scraped all the "popcorn" from the ceiling and it's been redone with tons of help from the Unc and Kelly. Adam is sanding the front door in order to paint it as a bright welcome for all their neighbors and friends when they finally get moved in. I'm sure the cleaning, painting, prepping will go on all month so if you are in the mood for some good, hard work, come on over. It's quite the adventure! McKenna has done most of the work on the wedding planning. She's visited florists, dress shops, alterations places, invitation crafters, rental stores and looked at menus, linens, flowers arrangements, photos, and bridesmaids dresses. I think Adam thinks she's a slave driver. But all things considered, she's a trooper and if it all comes together like we hope it does, a lot of the credit belongs to her.  We also want to thank our Texas family for making the long, long trip to Utah to share McKenna's big day with her and Adam. We know logistics are tough from 1000+ miles. But we are excited about all the fun we hope everyone will share with us! Good times!!
