A Week Never to be Forgotten

It all started on Monday. I met Kevin and Tenille at the courthouse. It was time to finally finalize this adoption! It was an exciting and, at moments, stressful day! Kambry was so cute. We first were in the courthouse. I snapped a few shots. Unfortunately, once in the judge's chamber, I used Kevin and Tenille's camera. The judge was very kind. It was a wonderful moment when he declared this adoption done and the file closed. The joy on the faces of Kevin and Tenille was priceless!!!

Friday we were again gathered together. This time in the temple. My boss performed their sealing. As they were made a forever family, Kambry stared right into Kevin's eyes. It was wonderful. Kevin was accused of hogging all the attention to which Tenille said, "He always does that." It was funny. Afterwards, we went outside and took pictures. It was a beautiful Spring day!! Here are a few of the pictures. Look at the proud parents and grandparents:

 Quick Bowler family photo (minus a couple of cute boys who were off having fun with someone):

Spencer had a pretty flower when we came out. I wonder...did he find it on the ground or pick it off the plant. I guess we will never know.

 After I took the picture of Janine, Jason, and Lucas, here is where I found Spencer and Lincoln. Brian was having fun tickling Lincoln's neck with his goatee...

 Kevin and Joey have been friends since they were old enough to know what friends are. Behind Joey and Colony is Justin and Tiffany, another one of Kev's friends. Chad and Jenny were also there. Kevin and Tenille had a lot of friends and family there for their special day!!

These are a few pictures I snapped while the photographer was setting up her shots. I think they turned out pretty good. Please ignore if they are a bit blurry. As Kevin often points out, my camera is REALLY old and has since died on me. I guess it's time to get a new camera and one with definite sure shot so that my shaking, which is getting much worse, won't cause the pictures to mess up. Regardless, I think these next few pictures turned out great.

 Aren't they just so cute??

Look at this one. I snapped it on our way back into the temple. Like I said, it was a beautiful day!!

After they were in street clothes, we went up on the COB Plaza and took a few. I like this one a lot. I love the looks on their faces as they look at each other. Do you think they are a little bit happy???

Thought I'd include a few outtakes:

Joni took a lot of amazing pictures on Temple Square while she had my camera. Eventually I will post them. But for now, I'll show you her favorite spot. I snapped this shot right as we were going in to the entrance for parking. I thought I would post it for her.
