Unless you have been living in a hole, you know Jordan got married. He and his new wife Tawnie were sealed for eternity in the San Diego LDS Temple on April 8th, 2011. It was a beautiful day and Jordan and Tawnie were blissfully happy. It was so fun to have the Griersons and Grandma and Grandpa there with us. Here is a photo story of the day.

They came out of the temple.

We took family pictures.

We love our brother.

The wedding party.

Jordan with his men.

They had matchings shoes.

What is this business? Crazy!

Kade sure loves his new Aunt Tawnie!

There was a sunny luncheon at California Pizza Kitchen. Tasty.

Awesome right?

THE NEXT DAY!

There was a reception.

The grand entrance happened. Parents and wedding party were introduced.

(Don't worry, Aaron knows I'm hotter than the girl on his arm. Ha!)

Welcoming the new Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Jensen!

The dad's gave toasts. Everyone, including and especially Jordan, bawled their eyes out.

They had their first dance.

They cut the cake. They did a good job.

This kid was a dancin' fool.

...Until it was time to eat cake.

This girl was attractive.

(Sorry, I had to. It was just too good.)

Grandma/Mom got her groove thing on.

Brock was photographed with both grandparents.

Even Jeny got her groove on too!

There was plenty of tasty food and cake and cheesecake. Fun time had by all. Welcome to the family Tawnie!

Graduation!!!!!

Jason graduated on Saturday! Yay! His brother Dave and his daughter Brianna came up from Rigby for the graduation. It was long and boring, but fabulous! We made it!

Orchids and Rhubarb

This post is mainly for Holly and Jeny. Last year around Easter time someone gave me an orchid. I asked Holly how to take care of it, but was still pretty sure I'd kill it. Here it is this year! Not only did it survive, but it bloomed again! It's so gorgeous, and I'm quite pleased! Thank you, Holly!

Last summer we drove home from our wonderful, long stay in Colorado through Utah. Jeny sent us home with a chunk of her rhubarb because my kids LOVE rhubarb. I sort of forgot about it, and it sat in a plastic bag on my dryer for weeks and turned black. We planted it anyway, just because, and I noticed last week that it's growing! Yay! This is quite a miracle, because it survived the weeks of dryness in my laundry room without dying and the weeks of heavy rains we've had this spring without drowning. Thank you, Jeny!
