JuJu's Special Day....

So this is a 'fairy-tale' that began in New Mexico and ended, or dare I say continues, today....

JULIA GIOVANNA got married!!

She's my little sis, but I am SO happy for her...she is very happy and the groom's name is....

Spencer Stark! (I love it - 'Stark' in German means 'Strong'! :)

Here they are, Mr. and Mrs. Stark!

Here is Spencer and Julia with the Stark family....

Here is Spencer with the 'Kidz' (I include Mel in that :)

Here is a pic of the Jacobson family....it was crazy to see everyone together again...it had been A LONG TIME!

Here are the newlyweds with each set of in-law's welcoming/greeting all the guests at the reception....

CONGRATULATIONS JULIA and SPENCER!!

Trip to Arizona, i.e. playing with my lady-friends...

Here are two of my lovelies! H and A, love them!

We love going to the park together and that is fun times....












After a 9am romp in the playground (due to Arizona's amazing summer heat), nothing like running through the sprinklers!






Ahh, sister hug!

They are totally desert-babies now though. They started complaining about being cold from the water fun....LOL! So much for their Alaska roots!







Here is Ilynn....she is a scriptorian! Love eet!













One day we took cardboard boxes and made shields and swords out of them...here is the battle afterwards :)

(I'm glad Mel wasn't there to witness this ;)





Mel took me and the girls to the local zoo. I actually touched those stingrays! I was a bit nervous given the whole 'Croc Hunter' incident with stingrays, but....

All went well....






Here is the petting zoo, Ilynn and mommy had fun times....











Annie had a bit of a problem...she was nervous....















Haidan was also nervous, but what a cute pic!









Fast-forward to Utah and my birthday! We all got together at Granny's and celebrate me birthday...it was good to see everyone :)

Then Auntie Suzanne treated me and the the girls to a SLC Bees game....

9 innings is a LONG time for little kids to focus, so they were a bit crazy, but still SO MUCH fun!

Thanks everybody for this trip! LOTS OF FUN!
