Chris and Amy Silva came out of the Mt. Timpanogos temple on March 18th grinning from ear to ear.
The sealing was absolutely wonderful and I seriously could not keep it together, granting myself an unwanted but expected ‘crying headache’ for the rest of the day. It doesn’t help having both Walton and Polley emotional genes. Looking at Amy, or my Dad, or my Mom, just made it worse, because we were all a joyful wreck. Just after the sealing I turned to Scott and said, “how are you all composed?” to which he replied…”I’m just thinking about hockey.”
It was wonderful to be in the temple with my with whole family except for my youngest brother, Brian who is serving a mission. Being in the temple helps me focus on what’s important. Eternal perspective. Family. Love. I always feel like my vision is expanded and my love, limitless… but today I felt it even more and I’m grateful for that.
Boy do I ever feel honored to be Amy’s favorite sister. Ok fine, I’m her only sister. She’s stuck with me and while I haven’t always given the best advice… (she swears I told her ‘boys only like girls with long hair’ WHILE she had short hair) I have always been able to truly feel whatever she is feeling… and so today I feel blissfully happy. Amy, my heart is just bursting for you and I love you so much. Chris, welcome to the family. We couldn’t feel more lucky to have you.

5 of 6 siblings. Brian in Arizona on his mission -- We sure missed him!
My sisters… Elisha, Sarah, Amy and I. I love these girls.
Scott and Elisha, Molly and Foster
Dan and Sarah, Annie, Leah and James
Scott’s little boy, Foster, is about 8 months older than Matthew but you can barely tell since Foster’s such a skinny kiddo and Matthew’s on the ‘solid’ side with an extra chin and everything. But when Foster speaks and Matthew just grunts, you can tell there’s a big difference. They’re so cute together though!
Here’s Scott and Chris making the boys laugh…

Good photoshopping, Lisa. No one would else would ever notice it. Great pictures! Love all the laughing boys ones. I must have missed that.
Oh my word. "Solid" little Mathew is adorable. Glad you were able to come back and enjoy your family for such a wonderful occasion. Congratulations to your sister.
I have been looking forward to this post! Love all of the pictures. They all came out so well, and everyone looks so happy. Talk about huge smiles! Looks like it was a perfect day.
Oh my gosh. You got so many great ones. I love reliving it on every blog!
I love her dress and her flowers. I love her getting married. Love, Kayla (Kayla is obsessed with girls getting married lately)
I haven't been online to read blogs in forever and it may take me a few to catch up on all the things I've missed with you. I started at the top and scrolled down! It looks like you guys have had an amazing few months! I'm so excited for Amy, what a BEAUTIFUL bride! And the pics of the boys in this post is priceless! I'm so glad you got to go "home" and spend some time with your family. Sure sad we missed seeing you in Utah. We were there at the end of March! The other day we started talking about Europe next spring. Time to start the planning.... Love and Miss You!!!
