A new addition!

On May 20 my brother married Keila Fonseca, my new Brazilian sister-in-law!  Sadie, Mackenzie and I went for a girl trip to Idaho attend the reception, held a week before the wedding.  They planned for an outdoor wedding outside my parents house and I thought they were crazy.  The weather had been awful, cold, even a little snow up to a couple days before the big day.  Thankfully, the weather on the day of was PERFECT!  No wind, beautiful sun (not too hot, not too cold)!  The yard looked really nice with all the work everyone put into getting it ready too.

I was able to fly in a few days before the reception and help with the menu and shopping of the food served, help prepare the yard and background set-up and then help with the cooking and assembling the day as well.  And let me tell you the food was excellent!  :)  Thank you Costco! 

My parents especially put a TON of time and effort into making this day nice for them, I am so in awe of everything they can do with all the responsibilities they carry.

Here is the original Webb Couple, my parents:





Meet the newest Webb couple:



Clint and Keila

It was my first time meeting Keila.  She seemed to be a very nice, cute and energetic person.  I wish I was able to talk to her more but she only speaks a little English, her native language is Portuguese.  Clint met her at the end of his mission in Brazil.  They talked through Skype for months and fell in love.  He flew there in January proposed and then she flew to the states in April, just a month before the wedding.  That's the love story behind the picture.  :)

   We needed a new family picture now that there are 3 of my parents 10 children married so I was able to gather everyone for a few seconds for a new Webb family picture (minus a few - Jason, Braden and Hyrum)




My 16 year old sister Mary and I were lucky enough to be bridesmaids for the event


I think this is the most alike we have ever looked since we were both wearing the same dress and had our hair the same, although her hair is stick straight and thin and mine is a big curly bush on my head. She was excited to tell me she grew 1 inch though and is now 5'1!


I have to give a shout out to my sister-in-law Patty for making these gorgeous cakes and taking all the pictures for the event too! 
While I was busy catching up with old friends and family, Sadie was having a blast running around with her uncles!
 

Here is Sadie with my brother Luke (who is 2 years older than Sadie!)  She thinks it is lots of fun playing with her uncles because they all treat her like a princess and let her get whatever she wants. 
Mackenzie on the other hand was not so excited about what was going on and I think was getting very homesick.


It was her 3rd day away and that was enough for her.  She cried that night until 1 AM, and then I had to get up at 2 AM to get to the airport for my flight (the airport is 3 hours away from their house)!  All I have to say is NEVER buy name your own price on Priceline because you end up with the crappiest flight times!!!  AND more stops instead of direct flights.
The other advice I have about airlines while I am on my soap box is NEVER fly Delta!!!  I had problems getting Mackenzie on board as a lap rider, had to pay $50 for my bags each way (southwest doesn't charge for bags), had my 6 AM flight delayed for no good reason that could be given, which delayed my second flight causing me to not even get back until 1 PM!  Getting up at 2 was sooooo not worth it!  So I didn't save money (paid for bags in addition to the tickets) and didn't save time (layovers!)

Even though Mackenzie was a grump, she looked cute! Sadie looked like she was having a lot of fun! I think your new sis n law wore the same wedding dress as me. I think my train was a little longer. That's very awful about your flight. Good thing you did't need to be anywhere the day you got home. Sheesh.

P.S. I don't know why you think you need to loose any weight. If you loose any more weight we may have to do an intervention on you! You look great. Stop dieting.

I never realized how many brothers and sisters you had and how much younger so many of them are! Cool!

Okay Amber... I have to agree with BreeAnne. You better not be dieting! I had to enlarge that picture of you with all the bridemaids because I didn't even recognize you! TOO SKINNY! If you were a celebrity, rumors would be flying!! You are gorgeous..... now put some weight back on!!
