Bree has been getting on my back about updating my blog...for some reason i havent had the patience to really update it...but i finally got myself to do it! this is why its good to keep your blog updated so you don't have to post a ton all in one night (tisk tisk dani)...i will be better at it though. so here we go...a TON has happened the last couple weeks...from going to nauvoo, family reunion, best birthday bash EVER and spending time with my new best friends whom i love DEARLY!
3 of my good friends all have birthdays very close to mine...sarah (oharah)'s birthday was the 23rd of july, landy's birthday was on july 31st, mine august 1st and christine (bean)'s was on the 2nd...we decided it'd be super fun to throw a big combined birthday party, so we did and it turned out to be so much fun!
This was riding in the jeep...LOVE these girls!
Our branch did a big fat slip n slide so some of the pictures below are from that...it was SO fun!
I have yet to recieve most of the pictures from nauvoo, they are coming soon along with a slide show that one of the girls made...
nauvoo was so awesome, best experience i think of my life...twayne walker (a man in our branch presidency) and also known as, t dub, papa walker, t-wayne, our second dad, was able to give us this opportunity and i don't know how i will ever thank him for it...he took me, along with 5 other people, to nauvoo for a week. let me explain the trip all in one sentence for you...From Annie's Custard to Taco Bell... catching fireflies to running to the temple in a lightning storm... Chicken Joe to 60's Classics... "house keeping" to brandon's "burp"... church sites to being touched by the spirit...this trip will honestly never be forgotten!!! we had the greatest times ever!
The gang in front of the Teton Mountains
Austin and I on the carriage ride 
Joseph Smith's white mansion house
I was able to surprise my great aunt Garna and uncle Bert...they are currently serving a mission in Nauvoo...behind us is my great, great, great, great grandparents house...it is still standing this day! garna insisted we go over and take a picture in front of it!
Carthage Jail, one of my favorite places there
After we got back to our hotel in Nebraska, the pool was calling our names, so we all went for a late night swim.

It's about time Dano. Although, I have already seen all of these pictures. Hey, maybe you can find the time to post while you are in California and Arizona so I can see what fun you are having without me. I am going to miss you. :(
ReplyDeletei will, don't you fret mom...i am going to miss you too, but just think, now you won't have to worry every night about me coming home late, that will be a nice break...i love you
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so proud of you for posting. All the pictures are darling. Looks like you've been having lots of fun! Ps. Austins an idiot. Not even cute. :D
