Lauren and Kirk’s Wedding

On August 4, 2012, my niece Lauren, married Kirk Johnson.  They were married in the Provo Temple and had their wedding reception in our backyard.  Getting the yard ready was a summer-long project, but everything seemed to turn out beautifully.  It was great to have so many family members there to share this wonderful day.

It was a beautiful wedding.  Everything turned out perfectly.  We are so happy to have Kirk in our family.  Here’s to a long and beautiful life together, Kirk and Lauren!  We love you!

Then it was time to carve some pumpkins.  Tons of work but so worth it!
