Christmas Visit To Great Grandma

Our Christmas Adventures wouldn't be complete without a visit to see Great Grandma. 

We Love you Grandma!!

Trip to Utah for the Wedding of the Year!

Like every trip, our days were full.  We arrived just in time for the brief wedding rehearsal at Memory Grove.  We also went to the family BBQ in honor of Ryan and Madelyn.  It was great to meet her family and to see Ryan and Madelyn together. I was in charge of the wedding cake.  So Wednesday night, I went with Ryan to go shopping for the ingredients and I started some of the baking in his ginormous kitchen.  Let me just say that if I can make a wedding cake in his kitchen, I can make a wedding cake anywhere.  Actually, the best part was having my parents and brothers around to entertain me while working on the cake.  And I think it turned out pretty ok.  The Cannon Crew also went to Uncle Ab's burger shop, "Ab's Drive In"  for some good burgers and fries and great shakes.  We also went to Uncle Ab's and Aunt Dot's home for a little walk down memory lane.  Things like the smell, tablecloths, rope swings and all the nick knacks helped bring those memories back to life.  I remember a big family reunion we had here as a child and driving from Texas in the back of a little Toyota truck with just a shell on the back.  The things we do to be with family.  AND thank goodness we can.  

 

 

THE Wedding of the Year!!

September 21, 2012

Ryan John Cannon and Madelyn Ruth Carey

were married at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I think he found his perfect match.  What a beautiful and sweet couple. The whole evening was great.  A good friend and former Bishop of Ryan's married them. Eric, Scott and Darrin where the groomsmen and Madelyn's sisters Tiffany and Brittany and I were the bridesmaid.  And there were lots of cute little flower girls and ring bearers.  Lauren was the most excited and the little girls wore ballet slippers and the boys black converse.  So fun!
