Brooke & Ben's Open House @ the Israelsen Home

We spent the entirety of our morning into the afternoon helping the Israelsen’s set up for the open house. We had the family party first from 3-5 and then the actual open house from 5-7:30. It was such a loooooooong day! BUT Uncle Doug and his wife Kathy came and it was so fun to see him and to meet Kathy for the first time. They are so cute together! Uncle Doug looks so good and so happy! Marilyn and Jim, Marla and Kyle and their family and Amber came from Bill’s side. Aunt Tommie Sue and Uncle Craig also came and it was so nice to visit with them for a bit too. I met a lot of Ben’s family and close friends and they are all so neat! He has a really close family and they are all so friendly!! A lot of them will be at the wedding. All of our family was there too! I’m so grateful for kids that support our family activities! Megan and Katelyn threw Brooke’s bachelorette party last night and apparently they went all out and made Brooke feel so loved! It was fun to be there with the boys today, as well! We kinda ducked out at 6 for the kick off of the BYU v. Utah game! It was such a great game and we ended up pulling out another awesome win! 7-0 baby!! Woohooo!! Go Cougs!! Our family was pretty much all downstairs watching the game— oh and Kaden came with Katelyn for all the activities too. They are getting asked a lot of questions about when their wedding is going to be.  Overall it was a great open house with beautiful weather and I am now officially tapped out socially!  It was fun but long!!!
