We're Ready

Melodie picked up lots of flowers today from Trader Joe's and we've been working on bouquets all day. 

Mel, you chose lovely colors!

Our assembly area was the kitchen. We've made 17 bouquets. 

Mel and I arranged them with everything except the blue hydrangea flowers, cause those will need to be split down the stem into quarters, and we think that will make them dry out, so we're going to do that last thing tonight or tomorrow morning???? If we wake up really early? Right now we're just putting one bunch of hydrangea with each 4 bouquets.

Then Mel left with Christian to go to a dance class that he got her for her birthday. So then Sophi helped me finish the bouquets. 

Corey liked having the kids involved. Sophi and I put them in an ice cream bucket, two buckets in a cooler, two coolers, which are in our garage turned refrigerator. Lily has been involved too. She was over at Wayne's after school yesterday and she slept over there and has been there all day today working on her sourdough - making starter, making dough x30!

I'm super impressed Lil! Wow. 

She only started making sourdough a month or two ago, and now she's catering her first wedding! Wow. 

Wed and Hyrum arrived tonight around 8, and from 10 to 11, we started learning a little dance from a certain movie, that I thind will be really fun for them to perform at the wedding reception. 

Should be fun! I guess we'll have to try and teach Joseph and Ethan tomorrow sometime? Oh Joseph! All I've been thinking about is the wedding tomorrow, but today is Joseph's birthday! We apologized to him beforehand that we prob weren't going to have time to do anything for him. That's just how it goes sometimes. (Has happened to Owen as well.) I did text him happy birthday, but we didn't take him out to eat or anything. After Nancy got home from St. Kits, Joseph Eliza and Mary went down to Provo and have been staying with Ethan and Bella. I haven't seen them since Park City Tuesday night. I guess they'll be more comfortable and will have more room down there in Provo than if they slept here. I'll see if he took any fun pics today and can share them with me. We have an early morning! Lily started baking tonight and is going to be baking until pretty late, so I'm heading to bed so I can go pick her up early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is the big day! And we're ready! Or as ready as we can be. The time for preparation is past. We'll just trust in the Lord that everything will come together.
