Western Welcome Week 2015! Sam!

Pre prep morning with braiding of hair and breakfast provided by booster club. Sam and Janie.

Brad and the boys came to spectate!! After a BIG Breakfast!!

 Protecting his skin! 

Oh man, was she ever red when she finished!  HOT!

 Erin Peacock, Janie, Me and Sam...taking after her old mom! 

"We know the rodeo clown"

The Acker gang headed to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds for the local rodeo today.  Cowboy boots and hats were worn by those who truly love country! 

 We got a personal backstage "tour" from the rodeo clown, JT.  One of Brad's buddies from work.  He is a Superintendent by day and a rodeo clown by night (well, on the weekends that is!)

 Believe it or not, this is B boy after his mutton bustin' debut.  He broke his arm.  yep. One tough kid. Needless to say, Meg, Aaron and B left right away to the ER.

Taylor Gannon is getting married?!! Here it is from start to finish

Bridal shower in Colorado put on by her Aunt Kay at the clubhouse.

 Dinner with the girls after the shower!!  Chili's!!!

 Then the wedding preparations begin.  We made homemade chalk board sins.  Took a few trips to Goodwill fro frames, Hobby Lobby for paint/fabric/cake stand, etc. I was so nervous about getting it right!!

Then we relaxed in the evening and Olivia got pampered by all her cousins. 

We arrived in SLC and took in the sights, mani/pedi's,  as well as enjoyed a dip in the pool.  The good old Plaza Hotel!!

 Took a trip to get some shaved ice!  Refreshing! 

She is 2 going on 20.  Liv with her shopping bags. 

And now the day of Taylor and Taylor's sealing at the beautiful Bountiful temple. 

The reception was in Taylor Ericsen's backyard.  See my vintage suitcase? It was so nice to have stuff on hand that works!

Emily caught the bouquet, after ripping it out of Sam's hands.
