The Engagement

Since I have having computer troubles today, this post will just be of the engagement night. On Wednesday morning the kiddos and I drove to Southern California. With only a few minor setbacks (a few stops to clean up Audra's mess from throwing up all over herself) we arrived in time to have a late lunch with Uncle Jake & Uncle Cam. Which also meant I had time to wash miss Audra's carseat at Jake's house. We then headed to Laguna Beach where the engagement would take place. As we got in the car to head out the rain starting coming and coming and pooring and pooring. We arrived at the beach where the boys got themselves all set up. The kiddos and I awaited Auntie Mandy's arrival to help walk down the many stairs to the beach front. Hannah was at youth group the entire time where her small group was participating in a scavenger hunt that would lead her to the beach. She was of course blindfolded and arrived on the beach and took off the blind fold to see Jake down on one knee. She was so shocked she just kept screaming and jumping, I think she was quite suprised. It was all a very fun moment and so special that we all got to be there to witness the entire thing. After all the excitement we headed back to the church where it was time to CELEBRATE! Can you tell they were excited?! Gavin loved all the balloons and streamers.

And was loving being the life of the party.

Audra was also enjoying all the attention.

The Floch/Holt Fam (minus Kevin, he had to work)

They had good practice at cutting the cake.

And don't you just love that pink "Bride" sash, the lovely Mandy found that. What an awesome girl you are Mandy.

Thank you Jake for letting us be a part of this moment, it was very fun, very wet, but very fun. And we look forward to the big day!
