Mr. & Mrs. Loño

Believe it or not Elise & Erik (click for pictures) are now married - for a month now! Wahoo!! They got married Oct. 10 and it was a wonderful day. Family and friends were in attendance from all over and it was a nice chance to catch up and see loved ones again. It was nice to just finally enjoy all the wedding stuff and not stress about all the little details. I didn't even help that much, but just hearing about it was enough :) Elisey looked gorgeous and Erik as handsome as ever!

I LOVE this picture!!

What do you think? Do I look like my Aunt or Uncle at all?

So funny story. On the way to the luncheon after the wedding, my Dad and I was following Snowb in her Rodeo on the freeway. Well, she had a pretty low tire and I could see it just getting lower & lower. She was in the far left lane going pretty fast so I told my Dad to call her and tell her to get to the right lane asap and slow down. Well just as she got there, her tire started smoking and then it blew! Here's the proof.... My dad in his brand new suit and Sonya in her heels. Needless to say we were a little late to the luncheon. Oops.
The reception was at Highland Gardens such a cool place, filled with loads of people and loads of fun. Got to see old family friends and eat good treats! Erik's sister made the cake, beautiful eh? The spongy one on the left is a groom's cake.
The time came for the throwing of the bouquet (stampede of females) and there was some tough competition! Elise's friends and current students as well as us sisters. Who was going to catch it?! I decided to put my game face on and catch it regardless of the outcome to the others :) aka getting hurt. Craziness I tell you.

And the lucky winner is.........!!This was probably one of the most amazing receptions I've been to and I'm not just being biased because it was my sister's. To end, Lisi and her old ward members performed Thriller for old times sake as well as had little dance party to celebrate.

And of course we had to decorate the car :) Nothing too drastic..... We are talking about high class people here......haha

General Conference

General Conference is always one of my favorite weekends. You get to just relax and listen to hours and hours of the prophets and apostles speak words of wisdom. What more can you hope for? It was the weekend right before Lisi's wedding so my Mom was already up. What a better way to spend with the girlies! Snowb's bf also accompanied us :) It was a chilly weekend, but when has it not been rainy for General Conference?

Mr. Esqueleto

My roommates and I had the privilege of hosting FHE this month. In honor of October we threw a spooktacular Halloween party! Allison knew how to make these bone-shaking skeletons from paper plates. So everyone hopped on over with their pair of scissors and away we went! Wish we had the music to go along "dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones...." Here's the progess....

And here's the completion..... I'm the one taking the photo :)

After our lovely little operation, we had a donut eating contest in the kitchen. Boy did it get wild! Ready to dig in......

Getting clotheslined or something to that effect :) I think I lost sight of my donut! Haha!

Now that's dedication!

Bridal Photos

Yesterday Snowb and I helped with Lisi's Bridal Photos. Snowb did her hair....gorgeous eh? Then I went to the photo shoot to help arrange the hair & dress perfectly and not let the dress get dirty. Let me tell you....it's inevitable! Somehow I made it into her album online. My hair looks disgusting! Haha! I went on a very rigorous bike ride up the canyon that morning and didn't have time to wash it. Oopsy. But what can you do? Anyway, she has some amazing shots!

Check out the photographer's favorites. They are amazing!

Lisi's Bridal Shower

Last Saturday Snowb and I threw Lisi her Bridal Shower. To tell you the truth, it was super stressful to plan with everything else going on in my life but it all came together very nicely. We definitely couldn't have done it without all the help from her friends. They were AMAZING and offered lots of help. So thank you! My Mom flew up for the shower without Lisi knowing.....it was a huge surprise!
