Little Nixon, a Kitchen Wedding, and other recent happenings

We have another nephew! David's sister, Jen, and her husband, Phe, just had a little guy and we are in love with him! His name is Nixon Lewis, which is so handsome and he is truly just so sweet. He was born during President Monson's talk of Conference, so after spending the morning at my Grandma's watching conference, we headed to the hospital to meet the little guy.

David just loves his new nephew. He is the first grandchild on David's side of the family, so there was a lot of excitement and anticipation for his arrival.

So squishy and cute:

 

Here he is about 1 week old. 

Here he is about 2 weeks old. He is so sweet and cuddly! We are grateful to be so close. It makes me so sad our other niece and nephew are so far away in CA.

BABY FEET. I just love them!

 

This last week, we had the opportunity to go to the Mt. Timpanogos temple with David's family, before his sister, Jessie and Scott got married the following day. It was the first time to have the entire family together in the temple, and it was amazing. 

Here is the beautiful temple with the most beautiful spring flowers (my favorite!)

 

 Here is the whole Drake clan:

 The next day when Scott & Jessie got married!! They looked stunning!

Jessie was a gorgeous bride!

 

My beautiful Mother-in-law, David and I outside the temple:

Here they are leaving the reception to head up to Park City for their honeymoon. (Stolen from Kara)

Sadly I didn't get more pictures of their reception. It was a perfect spring day with 70 degree weather (Utah has the absolute best Springs). They had a gorgeous reception down in Provo at the White Willow Reception Center, which was seriously so neat. Most of David's family is still in town, so it will be a fun weekend  hanging out with them all, plus his cousin gets married tomorrow, so there will be even more wedding madness! And then there's the baby blessing for Nixon on Sunday. It's a great month for the Drakes!

Some other fun updates including seeing my old college roommates and London friends at Nicole's wedding: 

Attending the Jazz & Lakers game. David and I have been trying to use Trax (the local train public transportation) more. It was a beautiful day so we decided to wait outside for the train instead of pay for parking.

 

We were the last row in the stadium, but it was still so fun. And they had these massive screens to look at!

It was a fabulous date night with my husband.

Life's been busy, but good! Thanks for tuning in.
