Shower-Las Vegas

Courtesy of her new in-laws, Karen (lucky girl), got a shower thrown for her in Vegas too! I didn't think to ask for any pictures, but here is the cute invitation they had with instructions to bring a favorite recipe.

Nora's bday 2009

busy times, but we can't resist the chance to do something fun for Nora's 2nd birthday! She's such a big girl now, talking and singing, racing around with her big sister, smiling and silly, stubborn and charming! She melts your heart (when she's in the mood!)

Happy Birthday Nora Elena

Bridal Shower-Claremont

Sister Hyer (baby Alina) and Ashley

Lovely gifts

the superb hostess Amy

the beginnings of the wonderful breakfast brunch

Thanks to Amy and help from Ashley, Connie and Kari, this turned out to be a beautiful, scrumptious affair with lots of good friends. Her mother-in-law to be, grandmother-in-law to be, and sister-in-law to be went the extra mile in driving down from Vegas to spend the day, before driving all the way home that afternoon! Karen, and all the Boyer's, are so lucky to be adopted into the Hyer Family. But what a sweet BIG sister Amy was, to arrange all this for Karen while she is busy taking care of her two active toddler's.

Getting to know Chandler

We are inheriting the sweetest most considerate young man into our family. Chandler Hyer. Karen and Chandler are a lucky couple to have met and fallen in love with each other. Their future will be filled with good things! He grew up in Las Vegas to a large and loving family, he served a misson for the LDS church in Guatemala for 2 years, he is currently finishing up his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University-Provo, and will be applying for dental school in about a year. But the fact that he loves and respects Karen, and our family, says a lot more about him than pictures or his accomplishments.

America

I love the summer! and the best day to celebrate summer? 4th of JULY!!! We got the special treat of having

Lauras car

one of the moments Laura has always looked forward to having a car! So thanks to the San Bernardino Mission Office, she purchased a great car that she can call her own!!!

The Engagement Portrait

So the magical day is getting closer with the taking of engagement pictures done, and the invitation finalized...the groom seems calm and relaxed. All is going smoothly! Don't Karen and Chandler look incredible? What photographer could go wrong with such a beautiful couple as her models? There were so many pictures to chose from, but this turned out to be the best for an invitation.
