The Beaulieu Bunch: March 2019 Spring Wedding, Baptism and babies

Its Jenae's wedding day. It was cloudy with threatening rain but it didn't do much other than drizzle a little bit.

We went to the temple and Jacob just made it in time for the sealing due to transportation miscommunication and then Ashley's expert driving, ha ha. Jacob flew down just for a couple of days to be able to be there for the wedding.

The fun uncle.

The happy couple!

After the wedding we met up with the family at a luncheon put on by Ben's family.

The food was good and even included entertainment by the family with specially written songs by Ben's family with Jenae and Ben in mind.

Look how in love they are.

Between the wedding and lunch and the reception that night I was finishing honeymoon shirts for Jenae and Ben. Their hashtag all over their social media posts was #alwaysandfavero so I made sure to include it on their shirt along with the temple where they got married and then had a Mickey and Minnie Mouse and their names on it for the front of the shirt.

That night we went to their wedding reception at the church where we saw more family.

Nice to have all the kids there with us.

Its been almost 2 years that the Taylors have been dating. Maybe in the next year or two we'll get an announcement from them...

So now that Jenae and Ben are married they will be starting their life up in Utah.

We found out that Jenise's family will be moving to Arizona too. Jolene and JJ both have plans to move to Utah at the end of the summer so all of Steve and Tahna's kids are flying away from the nest!

I got to have a fun sisters outing attending the Pinner's conference in Ontario.

Angela knew about it and invited us calling it her birthday celebration. It was a two day conference but I had to leave early the second day to go to our tax appointment so I Virginia and I went Friday morning and Angela met up with us and we spent the night at a hotel to enjoy both days.

One of my favorite projects was the chalkboard with the chalkboard markers. They don't rub off when they are dry but they wash off with water when you want to change the chalkboard. It's been fun changing the sign and it was easy to erase.

I also took a couple of hand lettering classes but that will take some more work before I get good at it.

There was lots of chalkboard inspiration at this booth.

The conference was perfect for all 3 of us who love to create and craft when we get the time.

This class was how to organize things from Becky Higginson and Becky Proudfit. It was probably my favorite class and now I started listening to their podcasts. They were inspirational and talked to us like they were all our best friends. They through a few organization tips in there but mostly it was about changing our expectations for ourselves and our families and being happy where we were at.

At one of the booths they were using hair styling tools on us...Virginia's hair got straightened and my was curled, ha ha.

It was a fun conference made even more fun by being there with my sisters.

I'll have to look for it next year.

That night after our tax appointment Jeff and I went to see Aladdin at the Segerstrom Center. It was an amazing show and the special effects were great. We loved it!

The next weekend we got to stay a couple of days in Camarillo to be there to celebrate Ian's baptism.

We drove in Saturday morning and met everyone at the church. Ian was poised and reverent and seemed to really understand the importance of the day. We were all so proud of him.

After the baptism we had a lunch at the house where people from all over that came to the baptism to support Ian came over to visit. I was introduced to the dog poop game where the had molded play-doe dog poop on a mat that was supposed to represent grass and you had to be blindfolded and try not to step on the poop.

I love how talkative and snuggly Paisley is. She's growing up and saying so many more words. She's fun to play with and you never know whats going to come out of her mouth.

After everyone left we drove to a local beach and took a walk along the coast, let the kids play on the playground a bit and then found a place to go to dinner. Sadly the beach we picked didn't have many shops or food options like the beaches we normally go to but we found something decent to eat at a Lebanese restaurant.

The next day we met up at Angela and Roberts to go to church with them before we headed home. Joel had to be at the airport for an early flight so we didn't see the Olesons on Sunday.

Paisley took me in her room and wanted to wear this pink, fuzzy coat that was in the "to grow into" pill but she was excited to wear it. By the time she took it off she was all hot and sweaty, ha ha since it wasn't really cold enough for it.

We were glad we were able to be there with the Zooks to celebrate Ian and his baptism.

A few days before we went to Camarillo we found out that Cheri had the twins!

Jack Ryan Grover and Luke Beaulieu Grover

We knew that we had some busy weekends and were going to go to China over spring break so we wouldn't get to see the babies for awhile if we didn't make plans so we decided to drive to the hospital after driving home from Camarillo so we could see the babies.

It ended up working out because Cheri and Ryan were getting them ready to come home so we got to be there and help them pack up, hold babies and get them to the car. So fun!
