April 9, 2010 Mark and Jillian Tolan were pronounced husband and wife. Mike and I were among the lucky witnesses to their joining together as one! The ceremony was beautiful and Jill was literally glowing. I have never seen her look so happy as she did on her big day! I am sure I took about 200 photos, but only posted a handful. One of my favorite photos is of Jill and her brother Troy. They both look happy and Troy looks so proud of his baby sister.

The highlight of the evening for my girls was dancing with Shondra. Jordyn adores her and just wants to be with her constantly! Poor Shondra!!!:) Luckily, she is a great friend and made Jordyn the happiest 7 year old in the world and danced with her all night. She may have got to dance with her husband for one song, but the rest belonged to my babies!

Jill has joined with the rest of the crew as a "old married woman" and I hope that her and Mark have a blessed marriage full of laughter and love!

Congratulations to the both of you!

Jill's Bachelorette Weekend

Spring Break launced us right in to April and we headed to Portland. Jill was having a weekend get away in Bend with her girls to celebrate her upcoming wedding. Shondra, Jill, their mom's and myself all stayed in a beautiful home with gorgeous views in Bend. We had so much fun and a lot of laughs!

Where to Start!

I have clearly been busy or I am sure I would have blogged half a dozen times by now!:) March pretty much flew right by and somehow April is now half over. With both girls being born in March and Spring Break squeezed in there, we pretty much are doing something 24 hours a day! Well, at least it feels that way. Luckily, I did find some time to throw in a quick blog for each girl's birthday. So, the next big event was Spring Break or course. Jake came for his usual Spring Break visit and it is just never long enough, but we still enjoyed the time we did have. Jake wanted to go swimming and we didn't have to ask his sisters twice if they were in, so off we went!
