Maddy & Jessie's Wedding

     April 13, 2013 ----- well Kristi has been worried about this day for quite some time. A couple of months ago Maddy text Kristi and asked her if we would be willing to help out with the wedding. Kristi being the great aunt that she is, said "for sure we would love to help". Maddy then quickly text "we want you and Kent to MC the wedding, see ya April 13". Kristi was a little worried because she does not like getting up and talking in front of people, and especially people she does not know very well. Kristi and I had very different approaches to MC'n this wedding. Kristi was very well prepared because she emailed a lot of the family and received a number of funny stories about Maddy and Jessie that we could tell. She had the entire program written out and planned down to a science. This was good because I am scatter brained when it comes to stuff like this. I just went into the program with a few stories in my head, but if Kristi had not written it out it may not have ran as smoothly. I thought we did a pretty good job keeping the program moving and keeping the mood "Light".

     Maddy's sister Megan and I also sang a song for the program as well. We sang a song called "Endlessly" by Green River Ordinance. I played Guitar and helped sing during the chorus for Megan. She did a great job and everyone complimented us about the song after the program. The wedding was great and the program was awesome. They had a "Candy Bar" at the reception and the kids went CRAZY hahaha. I think Haydn, Brody and Tyson went back and forth between the "Candy Bar" all night. So we knew there was going to be a sugar crash sometime that night.

     They also had a photo booth set up in the back with a whole bunch of different costumes that people could dress up in. The Kids had a great time dressing up in different clothes and acting crazy for the people taking pictures. The night ended with a dance. Maddy and Jessie had their first dance as a married couple, and then Brody kicked the dance off by coming out and dancing the "Gangman Style" dance for the crowd. The crowd loved it and Brody was just feeding off of the crowd and he danced for the entire song in front of the whole crowd.

Math Wiz Haydn

   

    We are so proud of Haydn and the work that he did last year on his PAT tests. He got 100% on his math PAT and received honors in his reading PAT. He is such a smart kid in school and we are so proud of the work that he does. We have never had to really work with him on school work, he just seems to get it and understand it on his own. I really think that if he stays motivated, he really could do very well in school in the future.
