Mawage is what bwings us together today...and other firsts!

So who is super cool and goes to a wedding and forgets their camera? Oh yeah, that would be me. Thanks to my bro, I borrowed his camera and was able to document a momentous occasion...Kim tied the knot! Kim is Kevin's sister, for those of you who don't know. We have been waiting with baited breath to see if she would go through with it (she has a bit of a history:), and the winner is Darren! So we trecked up to Idaho for the wedding and experienced a great first! Funny story, at the luncheon she said, "now do you all believe me that I was getting married?" Go Kim!Here are the newlyweds coming out of the temple. They were married in Idaho Falls just like us. It was really fun to go back.Here is a pic of Kevin and his siblings. Yep, count them up folks...10! (Plus Kim's husband) Kevin is seven of ten children. (Might I add, the tallest and cutest of them all!)This is of all the siblings and spouses! There are now seven of us married. Kevin's parents are in this picture too.And this was an attempt at a Belnap family picture. You see the Belnaps take the counsel of 'multiply and replenish the earth' literally. As to date there are 26 grandchildren with one on the way. Not all of the family made it into the picture and like we could get all the children even remotely looking at the camera. (Yes, my Emma is one of those distracted children. She is in front in the red and blue dress. Kevin and I are in the back next to the bride and groom.)The next two pics are an updated family picture of us! We were on the temple grounds, so pretty! You will have to tell me which pic you like the best.Random Emma found a stroller at the reception and was pushing it around. There was a dance at the reception. Here is Emma dancing with her cousin Paxton. He is 2 months older than she is.
This first is Camilla hanging out in her exersaucer. I just can't resist her smile.


Here is a first...well maybe not a first. We all went to BYU-I together and haven't gotten together in a REALLY long time. We finally got back in touch. This is Rachel, Cori and me. So even cooler, we went to Vashon Island, WA together for a semester and taught school in Tacoma, WA. Good times!



A first! Camilla is eating rice cereal! She loves it. This is always a monumentous day!
These are some pics taken on Sunday after church. The first is the cute new outfits we have them in. And the fact that they only look cute on Sundays, the rest of the week, no curls or headbands.
We love our Cami Jo, even when she seems distressed.
My poser Emma!Camilla is starting to roll all over the place. This first was her rolling under the chair.P.S. Rachel here is a picture of my sink so I won't be lame! My first here is that EVERY dish was clean in my house! It only lasted maybe a minute and will probably never happen again.


So now that you have been overwhelmed with pictures, here is a fun video of Camilla screaming out her frusteration. She sounds just like Emma when she screams. (This is not a first, she screams every day)

Your girls are adorable. As far as the family pictures, I think that I like the second one better because it is closer up. Both are very cute though!

Marianne and Matt said...

Cute pictures. I can't believe little Camille is already eating rice cereal!! Oh and by the way, my favorite fam picture was the second one probably because it's a close up!!

Rachel said...

I love your cute family! I think I like the second picture better. Also, I meant to tell you last Sunday that I LOVE Emma's plaid dress! so cute!

Rachel Ann said...

I like the second picture too. I guess Rachels think alike. :) I forgive you now for the tag. I guess I can tag you again... as long as it isn't the picture one. :)

Rachel Ann said...

PS... I have added my middle name to avoid confusion.

Brooke said...

I love all the pictures! Both of the family pics are great. I can't believe how long Emma's hair is getting and how big Camille is. Wow! Time goes by too fast sometimes. And, I didn't realize Emma's middle name is Lyn (or Lynn...I can't remember how you spell it). That's pretty funny that our gals have practically the same name! We must have great taste or something. :)

Sounds like a fun trip to Idaho. You look so sassy in your go go boots, jen. The pictures of the girls are gorgeous!

ZAC said...

I love the close up family picture of y'all. So many good looks in one spot---ouch! Sounds like it all was a blast. I miss your family and hearing in R.S.

Kristin said...

Wow...we're all kinda holding my breath for my sister's wedding too. She sooo has a history of getting engaged all the time! So we'll see if this one takes! I'm glad Kev's sis got the job done! That's awesome. Love the new family pic..I like the closer up one!

What a fun trip and what beautiful girls! I sympathize with the screaming! Gabe is a BIG screamer! I am going to go deaf from him. I am so sad that you are moving to California! But, that is great that Kevin got a good job. When do you move? I really want to see you before you do!

It's fun to see pictures of yall and to see how things are going! That's exciting about the wedding! I think my bro is going to get married in May, so I might have a new sister in law! I hope the semester is going good for yall and we are still really excited for next summer when yall move up here! (right?) I like the second family picture best! cute family. We miss yall too! Are yall coming up for thanksgiving? We're going to be in Texas at Christmas, but only for a week, so maybe yall will still be around when we get back.

I am going to disagree with popular opinion here and say the first is my favorite because of the color. Cute family
