Chaotic Heaven

Underneath the beautiful, red mountain that makes me feel like I am truly home, our family reunion began at the crack of dawn......with a little pool-side yoga. It's always good to find your zen before the chaos begins.
And begin it will with many, many dune buggy rides.
And basking...I mean...baking in the hot Southern Utah sun while waiting for a...
...pony ride. (Thanks, Van!)
There was a tea party.
Food!And more food!
It's tradition in our family to have a talent show when we all get together. Who could forget Matt's performance of Fiddler on the Roof's "If I Were a Rich Man"?
Or Charles' annual jaw-dropping magic trick!
We had the CUTEST little Mauri warriors doing their best to look fierce in their war dance. We all just wanted to scoop them up and smother them with kisses.
We all knew Tucker played a mean guitar....but, Valarie has been holding out on us. What a beautiful, clear singing voice. More, more!
And before the cowboy rides off into the....
sunset...
We found a little bit of chaotic heaven in just being together.

Oh that makes me homesick, I'm so sad I missed the party! It looks like everyone had a good time though, you can never have too many talent shows!

You take such good pictures!! I'm bummed I missed the yoga session. I think I would have wowed you all with my ability to hold corpse pose for the entire hour.

We were surprised to see our family and friends lined up outside the temple after we were married. It was a nice moment for us.
