City Days and Weddings

The Highland Fling and Alpine Days.

Kory's company (mostly done by Landon Davis) made a float for the City days' parade for the first time this year and it looked awesome. They did a fantastic job on it. Kory didn't ride the float at all because he manned the booth instead. Their booth looked awesome too. It was great to finally get the word out about their product to the local public. For those who are unaware, Kory works for a company called American Biotech Labs where they produce silver-based products made with a technology they call SilverSol. SilverSol Technology is patented to kill over 140 different types of bacteria (including MRSA, VRE, staph, E. coli, anthrax, Salmonella, etc.), as well as yeast (Candida a. and others), fungus, parasites (malaria), and viruses. ABL took the technology and put it into a supplement liquid form that can be taken daily as an immune system support to help keep you from getting sick or to get over it faster if you already are sick. There is also a gel that is designed for wound care and can be used to promote natural healing. ABL has over 250 efficacy studies and 20+ safety reports on the technology, as well as peer reviewed journal articles and countless testimonies from medical professionals. They have won the Best of State award for Medical Innovations for three different years (2007, '09, and '11). I personally don't work for the company and can say that I call this stuff my "miracle medicine". You know the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" where the father uses Windex on everything? Yea, silver is our "windex". :) ANYWAYS, their booth went great and they had some good outcomes.
Also at the Alpine Days, I found this booth with Frozen Hot Chocolate. And, you know me, I HAD to try it, right? haha Yes and it was so delicious! It was called Crio Bru and they use pure cocoa beans and grind it in their shakes. It is so dark and delicious, it's sinful. ;) They're not even paying me to advertise it; it was just that amazing! lol :)

Miss Sydney LOVED the parade. It was all very intriguing to her, especially the motorcyclist policemen (the siren noises). P.S. And that scratch was from her scratching herself one morning.

I just thought it was cool to see Captain Jack Sparrow. My favorite character of all time ;) I'm not even sure what the float was for... Real Estate it looks like? haha

Syd got to play with her Aunties in the blown up toys. This one is them inside a giant caterpillar.

This summer has also been full of weddings. One of my best friends from High School got married, along with Kory's sister and my sister. I finally am blogging them altogether even though I am lacking a lot of the good pictures.

Our friends, RACHEL & JON'S WEDDING!
August 5, 2011

Kory, Jon (groom), Landon Davis - both were the Best Mans and good friends of Jon's. I think boys just look so good in tuxes.

Yes, she is practically walking now...She's almost 11 months old here.

MaLese Davis, I and Sydney.

Alysa actually did catch the bouquet. It was thrown into the plants but Alysa snatched it one-handed. I think she and Rachel were secretly planning it. ;)

HALLIE & MATT'S WEDDING! (Kory's sister)
June 2, 2011

Brynne danced the whole time! As long as there was music playing, she was in the middle of the dance floor. And her cousin, Sydney, pretty much watched. They were so cute together.

Daddy/Daughter Dance

This was so cute of Kory to dance with his mom. I love it.

Sydney had a rough late night but she was such a trooper. And she looked so cute in her new dress Grandma Teresa bought her.

I had to take a picture of my toes because I was so excited. All the gals got pedicures and/or manicures. And I have cute new shoes, so I had to show those off too, right? ;)

SIERRA & NATE'S WEDDING (Shay's sister)

No comments:

An old man once said - There comes a time in life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. ... All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable. ... It is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire." -Orson F. Whitney

"It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that He speaketh, not spake... The need was never greater of new revelation than now." -Ralph Waldo Emerson (15 July 1838)

Throughout the world and among the membership of the Church, there is great joy and great pain. Both are part of the plan....Never let an earthly circumstance disable you spiritually." - Donald L. Hallstrom

"He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary." — Brigham Young

"How strange it is, our little procession of life! The child says, 'When I am a big boy,' But what is that? The big boy says, 'When I grow up.' And then, grown up, he says, 'When I get married." But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to 'When I'm able to retire.' And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life, we learn too late is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour." -Stephan Leacock

Our Story...

Kory and Shay found each other at Brigham Young University at a Ward Choir practice, and they have been inseparable ever since. All except for the year and a half that she decided to follow Kory's lead and serve the Lord as a full time missionary, where she did so in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 2007-2008. Kory valiantly served in the New York, New York South Mission during 2003-2005. Now that they have been majestically reunited, they finished their college degrees while initially living in Provo, Utah. Now, they reside in Alpine, Utah. Two turned to three when their gorgeous daughter, Sydney, entered their lives September 2010. They currently live a challenging, yet happy life, and await for the next turn life's path brings them.
