Fun day at Lagoon

This past weekend we went to Lagoon and had a blast! Even though I couldn't really ride the rides, it was still fun to go and walk around and watch Daniel and Liz have alot of fun on the rides. I did go on some rides to try and attempt to get this baby out, but don't worry it didn't work! Lagoon is fun at this time because of Frightmares and seeing all the cool decorations and having it alot cooler when you walk around.



Here is all of us except for Mark because someone had to take the picture!

Here is Matthew and Nicole and Daniel and Liz.. It was amazing we got them all to hold still!

We were waiting to go on the Train

They had so much fun in the Boats!

We were waiting for another ride... We were getting pretty tired at this point!

Can you tell how excited Mark is to go on the Merry-go-round?



Now this is true excitement to be on the ride! haha

Nicole and Liz, Liz thought this was the coolest thing in the world!

So that is a few pictures from our fun day at Lagoon. It was alot of fun, I can 't wait to go back next season and go on the real rides and not all the little kid rides! Little kid rides are fun, but not as fun as all the roller coasters!

Dan and Laurens Wedding

I finally got some good pictures from the wedding. So I will get those on here. It was a beautiful day and we all loved it.

Cute little Anna, hanging out with us while we wait for them to come out!


The whole family without kids of course!

This is a another cute picture that i love of me and my favorite brothers!

I can't believe how big my family has gotten!!







I LOVE THIS PICTURE!! He is so Wonderful!

They think they are so tough! haha.




Dan thought he had his car hidden good enough, but he should know better! My brothers were out the WHOLE night looking for his car and sure enough they found it!

It was a wonderful day and we all had so much fun being together as a family and also welcoming Lauren into our crazy family!!

A few pictures before Nate left on his mission...

These were last two nights we had with Nate, I can't believe how fast time has already gone since Nate left! He gets to leave the MTC on the 13th and go out to EL Savador. We are very excited and he is also! So far Nate has loved being out and learning and now he is VERY excited to be leaving the MTC and getting out to the real world!

Saying his goodbyes to Jill and Lauren

All the Kids sure miss Uncle Nate

All the kids got to say goodbye to Nate on Sunday! They were very sad!
This is the night we set Nate apart as a Missionary, we all had dinner together and hung out like good old times!

Naughty Nate using a computer after he has been set apart! haha..

We were all hanging out watching the Olympics together

Well I guess not all of us were, Matt was nice enough to stay up with Nate so he didn't have to be alone



My Dad didn't want to stand outside with the rest of them and so he sat inside and worked on his computer at 11:30 at night.

It was such a fun night to go up with all my brothers and my Husband and just hang out all night. We didn't get home that night until about 1 am. My brothers just talked and talked and talked like they weren't going to see each other for a couple of years and they talked like they hadn't seen each other for a couple of years. It was so much fun, but at the same time I was so ready to go home and get to bed! Everytime I thought we were going to leave and go home my brothers would say okay lets go find Nate and they would move into another room and then talk for another hour. After that they would say again okay lets go, and you could probably guess what happend. They would go into another room together and just chat and chat! Even though I was very tired the next day, we had SO much fun just talking and talking! It was like old times when we were younger and would stay up all night talking to each other. I'm so very grateful for my brothers and my husband. I wouldn't be the same person without them! I love them all SO much! Even though being the only girl while growing up was very hard to be picked on all the time, I wouldn't change it. Families are wonderful!

My new post idea

My new post Idea is that every once in a while I am going to post one of my favorite talks for everyone to listen to. This one is one of my all time favorites. Elder Maxwell was one of my favorite speakers and this was his last talk. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think.
