August 23, 2008 Jonathan's Big Day!


Jonathan and Mike early in the morning on Jon's wedding day!
Dad is so proud of his son!
Jonathan keeping up with the tradition of the Monsons' being married in the Salt Lake Temple. What a beautiful day to be married for all eternity!

Jonathan and Rebecca coming out of the temple.


Jonathan and Rebecca's first kiss as husband and wife--or is it??? They sure took along time coming out of the temple!!



Rebecca is just beaming she is such a beautiful Bride! She has such a cute laugh, looking at her picture you can almost hear her giggle!


It was the first time I saw her in her wedding dress and just had to tell her how lovely she looked!


"The Boys" as we like to refer to David, Thatcher, and Taggy! Can you tell that it was very hot that day? All of them look pooped!

My what a good looking Groom!

Everyone gathering around the cute couple!

Think they are in love or what?!
Rachael, Jessica, Todd, David and Thatcher are having a fam get together before picture taking.

Looks like Thatcher and Caden (Jessica's little boy) were getting bored!

My niece Jessica and her husband Josh and son Caden. Cute family!

Jonathan, what are you whispering about????

Thatcher and Taggart trying to come up with a game using the Temple.

Oh, such good looking brothers!

What good looking siblings! Friends for life!

WOW who are these two hotties?????!!!!!

Can you tell who the big "ham" is in this picture?!



The Night Before The Big Day!
The Kellers and the Monsons decided it would be fun to eat dinner together so we could all let our hair down and get to know each other better. It was such an enjoyable evening full of laughs and winding down before we were put into overdrive on the wedding day!

David's Birthday!
David had to celebrate his birthday on the road while we were in preparation for Jonathan's wedding. But he was alright with that, since his birthday wish was for the "Jazz" basketball team sweatshirt and things...so what better place to be than in Utah! Happy 17th birthday David!


Rebecca's Bridal Shower
Rachael, Jessica and myself threw a bridal shower for Rebecca at Gardner Village in Utah. We had a great time meeting her family and getting to know each other better. Jessica made a darling towel wedding cake for Jon and Rebecca with all the bathroom accessories they needed. It was really cute. It was a great girls night out!

Queen for the Day!

August 19th was my birthday and Thatcher crowned me Queen for the day. We had a great par-tay and a yummy dinner at Smoky Bones! Thatcher loved that I wore my crown out to dinner, the rest of the family did not.

Happy Birthday!


Blowing out the candles...

David helping me cut the cake, and threatning me to take off the crown...or else!
