Uncle Brian got married!

I know it's a little late, but I wanted to post and share some of my favorite pictures from my awesome big brothers wedding! Bri met Natalie at one of Josh & his bands shows at Sundance. They were smitten from the beginning, dated for almost two years and then got hitched September 1st 2010!! They were married in the Manti Temple....believe it or not... and then had their reception at Natalie's parents house. They have an amazing property in Covered Bridge up Spanish Fork Canyon and was the perfect setting for the "outdoorsy" couple they are. Josh and I decided to use mapquest to get us to Manti.... it was a mistake! Apparently mapquest doesn't always give you the fastest route. What took everyone else 1hr to do took the Matson's 2! Not to mention, the lovely morning sickness enhanced by a long drive!  We were lucky and made it right as they were coming out in all they're shining, newly wed glory! Mom and dad booked a hotel in Spanish Fork so we could all change and get ready for the reception and not have to drive back to Orem, plus... there wasn't enough time. Great idea! Well, mom and dad left their suitcase at home so it kinda backfired! Dad raced like the wind home while we all went to lunch and then we headed to Nat's fam's to get ready instead. We again, just barely made it on time! This was a killer for our perfectionist mother. She's never late and NEVER an inconvenience! The fact it wasn't her wedding to plan was already hard enough! I love my mom. They were both stunning and everyone had a great time!

Papa Max, always a favorite and so handsome!

The too cute De St Jeor's! Ava was pretty pleased to be a flower girl!

My lovely, amazing folks!

The darling couple. Awe!

He just might be the most handsome boy on the planet! He looked so darling that night...you could eat him up!

Family Photo's 2009

Family  Photo's

Josh & I both hate to be in front of the camera... due to persistent complains from certain family members (mom), we decided to tough it out! Ashlee Raubach did an amazing job, as usual and even managed to get a few shots of our crazy two year old who doesn't hold still! 

It was a crazy half an hour of trying to get Nash to cooperate, stay dry, and get a decent shot for the Christmas card. We were so busy worrying about Nash that Josh and I ended up being the problematic folk! Josh even forgot he had a candy cane which he was gnawing on with a fierce appetite (for peppermint)! It was hilarious! I was pleased with the fun, candid turnout of the pictures! Here are some of my favorites.  Thanks Ash:)

 

Nash's 1st Ski Day!!

Nash’s 1^st Ski Day!

Nash is our little dare devil! He loves the snow and being outside and since we are nuts for the slopes we figure... WHY NOT!!

Well, he loved it! He didn’t mind the many layers, the uncomfortable ski boots (Nash called them “skiing shoes”), or being clamped into his skis. His only problem was the lines! Enjoy these pics of an epic day!
