Kay Kay's Wedding

I can't remember a time when I didn't know Kay Kay. She and Kerra Mansfield are the first friends I ever made. I'm so lucky to still be friends with them! Kay Kay got married in June and I got to fly out to her wedding and be one of her bridesmaids. It was so much fun to be a part of her most special day and also to see my family again! :)

It is always so fun to see my family. I really miss them, living so far away.
This picture of Harley hugging Emma is so cute!

BABIES!! Look at those little ones! Daxton and Isabelle are so adorable

Seriously, look at that little cutie 

I got to go to Kaley's wedding dinner. Super yummy and a great time to hang out with her family and friends. It was also great to see her wedding video. They each told the story of how they met and they spliced his version and her version next to each other. It ended up being so cute and funny to hear their different versions. After the dinner, we headed over to Kaley's bachelorette party and you will never believe who I saw!! Tatiana Vaschenko! She is one of my favorite people from my mission. It was such a coincidence. She doesn't even know Kaley but just so happens to be renting part of the house where the bachelorette party was! CRAZY right? I think she is sister-in-laws with the girl who was throwing the party. 

I LOVE this girl! I couldn't have been more surprised to see her!
It seriously made me so happy! 
The next day was the BIG one. The wedding! It was so wonderful to be able to be at the sealing of one of my best friends! Congratulations to Kaley and Kyle!

Married! Look at those happy faces!! :)


Husband and Wife!

I'm so happy I could be there! Love you Kay Kay!
They had the BEST shortbread cookies from Dippidee. WOW. 

Beautiful reception. And it wouldn't be a Sistrunk party without an awesome dance party too! :)
There was also entertainment (singing/guitar) by Kay's Dad, Cal, as well as Kaley and Kyle too! 
About to take off for the honeymoon!

O'Reilly Family Luau 2014


Every year my Uncle Kelly and Aunt Kirsten are so nice to throw us one heckuva party! We all go out to Corona and stay at their house and have non stop fun for a weekend. This year was a blast!

We started the weekend by watching an outdoor movie. This year we watched the Saratov Approach, which I loved! Especially because there is a lot of Russian in the movie and it was fun hearing how bad the missionaries' Russian was. :) It was pretty accurate of how we all probably sound out there as greenies! I loved the movie. 

Saturday we all played outside and had hours of entertainment! 

There's the man right there- Thanks Kelly!!
Ry and Brinkley playing in the pool
Kali and Macy
Having fun playing on the surfboard.

Cheese!

Poor Kate got hit in the eye with the fin of the surfboard and had to go
to the hospital! She had a great attitude and was so brave about it all.

Congrats to you guys too! :)

The In-N-Out truck. One of the BEST parts of this whole weekend!

Congrats to Brad for setting the new record! He ate 4 3/4 double double- right?

Mattie is SO brave. This guy just plopped a frog on her face

J got to ride the tortoise! And ps I'm in love with this little boy's hair.

Shane and his friend holding the snakes

I am amazed how none of the kids seemed to be afraid of the snakes!

Seriously? Rocking it like it was a necklace.

J wearing the snake

This guy is headed on a mission soon! So excited for you David!

None of the kids seemed to be afraid. Macy was brave to hold the snake
 but not quite as calmly as the kids :) Hey she is still braver thank I am! 

OK this guy is HUGE! and check out that TONGUE!!

Reminiscent of Brittany Spears right?

Katherine's smile :)

Brave kids

They are loving it

For Dinner we had authentic luau food. Roast pig!

Luau food doesn't get more authentic than that.
