Doreen's Wedding

On August 11, 2008 the newest member of the Ostler/Visher clan was blessed in Las Vegas Nevada. Here name is Aloria. She is such a cute little girl! Not too surprisingly she and her brother look nothing alike and both kids are adorable. Go to Annie & Josh's blog to see more!




Doreen got married to Brian on the 12th of August 2008 at Rockport. They rented a couple of yurts for camping in 2 nights in a row and had their boat up there for all to enjoy. .






Brian loves to BBQ and did an amazing chicken that Matt was overjoyed to help cook! They hired a band to play during dinner and after and they were just fun. Our family is quite talented in music and took over while they had something to eat and were just so fun. A cousin, Tawni, sang a couple of songs from my Grandma's funeral and my mom and I are boobs and cried. It was amazing.



My contribution to the wedding was the flowers. Doreen loves bright fun colors and I volunteered to put them all together. It didn't take long and I really enjoy doing this stuff.








Here is my cute niece Morgan holding Doreen's bouquet. (apparently she is the next to get married :)













The official ring exchange. Doreen looked absolutely beautiful and Brian has nerves of steel. Both Matt and I were totally shaking when we said I do!


CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

CATALINA

In July I went on a SCUBA dive trip to Catalina with a bunch of my extended family. It was a live-aboard boat called 'The Sand Dollar'. It was SO much fun. We would dive then the staff would fill our tanks up and we would go again! We saw Sea Lions, Kelp, Sand Sharks, Rays, a Seal, and tons of other amazing things that most people only see on the Discovery channel.




This is a bunch of people headed to a cave dive one morning. The Captain went with them and said that it was an advanced dive so I chose not to go.







This is a very small island that I think they called 'Bird Island'. The white stuff is not sand, it is bird poop. There are tons of rocks and other smaller island that are exactly the same. They jut out of the water and are pure white. The Cap. made a comment that it was 2 feet deep, yuck!





This is inside the galley. There are 3 tables and the cooking area. The food was amazing! The cook would have something ready for us every time we would surface from a dive. The staff consisted of two deck hands, a cook, captain, and co-captain. We got to know one of the guys and he is on his off-season with his Caribbean job due to tropical storms. He was from Louisiana. The rest of them were from CA. They were so fun and willing to just chat and give us all the info we wanted. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

Matt's Surgery & Skydiving

Matt went in for his surgery on June 27th. We got to the hospital around 6:30 AM and chatted with the doctor, then Matt wrote 'YES' on the foot that was to be cut and broken. It was supposed to be just an hour surgery and I'm in the waiting room wondering what's going on as 1.5 hours go by. Come to find out the anesthesia wore off and they were a bit frantic to put him out again. We were home by around noon. It was so tough though, having to make sure he took his pain pills on time and that he was eating...I've never had to do that before and it was hard to cater. He is all better now and just got off light duty at work. He is quite happy that he does not have to sit in dispatch for 10 hours a day any more!




This is what his foot looked like 2 weeks after surgery. Grody!! The 'YES' is still visible HAHA. I must say that the fact that he could not wash his foot for about that long was STINKY!!






Here is the Skydiver!! We happen to be heading through SLC off of 3300 South and noticed a helicopter WAY too close to the buildings. We decided to follow it to a very small field that was blocked off by officers and the works.





This little helicopter would circle it's way up in the sky to just a speck, we then would see this other tiny speck falling from it. It was so neat to see this person circle around the city and land so perfectly in the field. When he landed there were cheers and it was very cool!








Here is our little kitty. We think she is teething because she has become a biter! We occasionally leave her out at night and I will hang my feet off the bed. Well I get rudely woken up by little sharp teeth wrapped around one of my toes! YEEOUCH!! Then she will do it again like it's a fun game.
