A Seattle Wedding

Aaron and Michelle got married at the Seattle Temple! The landscaping was amazing! And for those of you who don't know, Aaron is Adam's identical twin.
Michelle and I right before the reception.
The twins. They are too cute together!
Adam trying to be a gangster...ha!

This is the castle where the reception was held. I cannot tell you how beautiful and elegant it was! It looked just like a castle inside too!

A weekend with the fam!

Borrego Springs Desert

Sorry it's been so long!

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged in forever! Adam and I went camping in Borrego Springs Desert last weekend and I have been meaning to post some pics, but because I married a "computer guy" it's hard to find the right cord in this house. I'm sure some of you know this, but Adam has drawers FULL of every computer cord in the world, which makes it difficult to find the right one...haha. The camping trip was really fun, and HOT. We went hiking to an oasis in the middle of the desert mountains, and Silo was no longer white; he was a gray/cream poodle for the weekend. We also went exploring in these mud caves; it was very cool. I will post the pictures this weekend!

My Art Work

Grandpa Maxwell

These are some photos of the last time I was with my Grandpa Maxwell about 2 months ago. The one thing that I will always remember about my Grandpa Maxwell was his testimony. He had the strongest testimony of anyone I have ever met. I remember talking to him for hours about the scriptures and the different meanings behind them. Even if I asked one simple question about something in the scriptures he would go off for a long time on that one question, haha, and that's why I loved talking to him. He was very engaged in our conversations, which let me know that he truly loved and cared about me. I can only wish that someday my knwoledge of this gospel is half of what my Grandpa knew. I miss you Grandpa.

Sea World with the Washburns!

Silo's Prizon

I'm sure most of you know that we have had such a HARD time potty training Silo. For a long time he just didn't get it that you DONT PEE in the house! Because he had been so difficult, we are extra cautious. He is doing much better now and he's probably safe to roam the house, but when we leave we always put him behind his gate. It's so sad to see him cry behind his gate, but what are we going to do? I think we're a little over protective of our home and of Silo, so we always take the safe route....Poor Silo....

Our Happy Family

Hello everyone! Just a quick update on the Lauper's...we are doing really well; not too much is new with us. Silo is a whopping 11 pounds now and he is full grown! Adam loves his job at Hp and couldn't ask for more. I am currently taking Interior Design and Art classes at Palomar college and loving it! I will post some of my art work when I get a chance.

Well that's about it!

Valentines Party!

Our good friends Jim and Kadee throw the best parties in San Diego! We just got back from their Valentines party and had so much fun! We played fun games like Family Feud and there was great food. Enjoy the pictures!

Utah Trip Continued...

Another reason I LOVE going to Utah is because we get to see friends and family! We were able to visit Cliff and his smelly apartment (ha jk Clii!), my cousin Rhonda and her cute hubby Jordan, and my Irvine girls!

Our Annual Utah trip!

Every winter Adam and I go on a snowboarding trip and visit with some of our best friends! Adam meets up with his mission buddies to snowboard, while me and the rest of the wives get pampered. The snow was beautiful and we had a great time with our friends. I wish we lived closer:( OH and Aaron (Adam's identical twin) got engaged over the weekend!!! It was really fun and I'm so excited for Michelle to be a part of the Lauper family!

Enjoy the pictures!

Yes, it has been too long!

Ok, so I decided to post some random videos because I didn't take many photos during the Holidays. The first video is from Cliff's graduation last summer. I know it's very random, but I thought it would be fun for the family to see. I laughed, and I'm sure you will too.

The second video is of Silo dancing to Brittany Spears. I think it's hilarious because if you look carefully, his head doesn't move! Love you all and miss you!

More Thanksgiving pics!

This is what Thanksgiving is all about...
