Kevin and I hosted an open house on Saturday to celebrate our wedding, it was so much fun. we had a lot of family and friends come to support us and eat a ton of great food. We had all kinds of stuff like grilled and fresh pineapple, yummy salads, shredded BBQ pork and pineapple pork(so good) . Thanks everyone who contributed. I must give a special thanks to Keshia, who being pregnant worked her tail off and stayed up all night with me Friday to prepare, couldn't have done it without ya sis. Evan enjoyed the party too, He actually loves pineapple. Kev and i even got a little goofy by the end of the party and dressed up in grass skirts. I think we were "silly tired". My family is, well.. a little strange. Evan liked dressing up , but Kevin wanted it over as soon as possible.

Keshia and I got a little silly too. Me, my mom and my sisters always get crazy at the end of a party. We have a blast and don't care who sees us.

We even had a beach ball crab that all the kids had a blast with, who knew how far a dollar toy could get ya.

I want to give thanks to My grandma and grandpa Cutler for the help and wonderful cookies, My mom for being a good mom and clean-up lady and my mother-in-law for all the help during the party- love you all!!!

FuN iN tHE SuN

We are enjoying our time outdoors so much. Evan is not sure what to think of the grass yet, given this is the first time he has seen it, but he seems to like it so far. He's almost crawling too. He gets up on his hands and knees and just rocks for awhile. He can't go forward yet but can cruise pretty far when he goes backward. He's loves drinking out of straws too, but once he starts he can't stop and he has to be so independent with them. Kevin is the dare-devil dad, i'm ok with it though because Evan gives his approval. He loves flying and just plain being a boy.

Cute Pregnant Keshia

So I know she is going to be upset but I had to put a picture of my cute pregnant sister Keshia on here. She is due August 5th and is having a girl!!!!

THE BIG DAY

So here they are, the pics from our wedding. The day was wonderful and we had such a blast. It turned out so great, the photographer was awesome and the minister was cool too. We had a Hawaiian style ceremony where we exchanged leis, they blew the conch shell and said a prayer spoken in Hawaiian... so cool! But because all weddings have to have stress it was pretty nuts getting to the wedding. With Kev not felling well and us not being able to find the wedding spot, which was crazy, we finally had a wedding that went smoothly and beautifully. The weather was perfect too and there was hardly anyone on the beach, which created a perfect romantic atmosphere. We are so glad we were able to go and enjoy our private little wedding. But for everyone who wasn't there, really... everyone, we brought back a pretty awesome video of the whole thing to share. I can't believe we really got married in Hawaii!!! And we're so glad we did, what a great memory.

Our time on Oahu

Every one has been asking to see pics from our Hawaii trip so even though it was a month ago, I figured what better way. We had a blast. Our hotel was in Waikiki and we had a fun room with a great view of the ocean and Diamond Head volcano crater it was awesome. We toured a lot and spent a lot of time on the north shore (you know, where the surf competitions are). Our favorite things were the Polynesian Cultural Center (please if you visit Oahu..GO!!!) they do a fun luau and a great show, and Pearl Harbor, it was so peaceful and amazing. There is evidence in our pics that we surfed, I was better than I thought and course Kev was good, that was a great time but oh we were tired. We also boogie boarded, snorkeled (which I didn't love so much...Fish ahh!!) And ate great food. The Dole Plantation had great pinnapple ice cream. We hiked a beautiful waterfall in a botanical garden which was probably the most lush place I have ever seen, but most of all we relaxed on the beach and enjoyed our surroundings. In the end 10 days was just enough time to have a blast and be ready to come home to our baby and good old Utah.
