A thunderstorm was blowing through and it was very windy so it was time for a hairspray break.

This is their "trick" Sarah struggles to hold Jason up





The cake was a group effort, I baked it, my friend Alissa Fuller decorated it and my friend Debra Brandon decorated the flowers on it, it was beautiful and delicious.

The wedding reception was in our backyard, on the deck and down the stairs from the deck to the backyard. The look was Sarah's vision and turned out so beautiful and classy. I did the flowers with help from my friend Debra Brandon and my brother Jeff.

Me and my handsome son Jason, the people flowers were dendrobium orchids.

They had a frozen lemonade bar which was a big hit

Cutting the cake, it was chocolate.





The "first dance" Jason sang to Sarah, all of the girls were crying it was so romantic!




Sarah tossed her bouquet from the deck down to the yard below.

Jason's cousin Catherine Reed was thrilled that she caught the bouquet

This was such a perfect day that we have been looking forward to for 28 years. The Temple experience was wonderful. Thanks to Sarah's vision and a lot of help from family and friends the reception was beautiful and fun. We are so thrilled that Sarah is part of our family, she and Jason make a beautiful couple and have a lot of fun together. We are looking forward to many happy years ahead.

Jason's Graduation University of Washington June 2009

Husky Stadium June 13, 2009. It was an unusually beautiful and sunny day. I didn't think to bring sunscreen to Seattle so we all got a nice sunburn!!

Lounging in paradise, it was sunny and 80 degrees every day

Mark's birthday adventure, we rented a moped and explored the island


Mark loved the iguanas, this one is posing for him

We found the windy part of the island, he had a fun birthday

I wanted to get a couples massage for my birthday, it was heavenly! Mark loved it too.
