A Welcome Addition to the Knight Family!!!

So...something that my mom has waited for for a long time is actually going to be happening in November...November 15th to be exact! My brother, Jeffrey, will be getting married to an amazing girl, Ashley VanDyke. While I was in Utah, I had the opportunity to meet her and her two boys, Ty and Charlie. I first met them at an afternoon activity at my mom's house in Layton. They were so cute and fun and I knew that I was going to come to love them from the very beginning!

A couple of days later, we went on an outing to see Kung Fu Panda. I told Ashley, via Facebook, before we even met that I wanted to do this with the boys. I later found out that the boys would tell everyone... "Jeff's sister is going to take us to see Kung Fu Panda when she comes to town." It made me laugh and it made that outing a special treat for us all. Can I even tell you how excited I am to be an aunt to these little guys???

Perhaps the best thing that happened for us all was on July 19th. Jeff and Ashley decided to go to Park City to enjoy some horseback riding, the Alpine Slide, the Alpine Coaster and some good food...including a visit to the Chocolate Factory. Meanwhile, my mom and I went up to Jeff's friends cabin in Parley's Canyon and set up a beautiful dinner for the two of them. Roses, candles, music, dinner from the Olive Garden, etc. Everything was perfect! After Park City, Jeff and Ashley were going to go on a "hike" and somehow ended up at the cabin. Awaiting them was this fancy dinner for two. Jeff and I had also prepared some special presents for Ashley that he gave to her throughout the night... a picture of the two of them, a picture of them and their boys, a picture of the Salt Lake Temple, a book of e-mails from their courtship, and scriptures with her new name, Ashley Knight, on them....and of course, a beautiful diamond ring. Jeffrey got down on one knee and proposed to his sweetheart and she said YES!!!

We are all thrilled about the new addition to the Knight Family!!! I know that I am definitely looking forward to November 15th!!!
