4th of July

So, yet again, I am late posting but better late then never. Our 4Th of July was so much fun ( well in the beginning) we started out going down to the springs to have a breakfast with my parents ward in the morning then heading back up to Woodland Park for an "Old Fashion" 4Th of July as they call it. They were tents, rides, a play ground and fun music. It was so much fun just taking it easy and just walking around. That is until we got hail the size of grapes... yes grapes. Then a huge thunderstorm that lasted the whole evening came. Unfortunately we had no fireworks and we had all of our family crammed into our small apartment for the whole afternoon and evening. Good thing is we were able to go to Symphony above the Clouds the next day and watch fireworks there. It was a rainy 4Th of July but a fun one.

A Child Family Reunion

So again, I post about how I am late about posting stuff. My reasoning are not really good, I just never got around to it. But nether less, here it is. In June my family had a CHILD reunion. The main reason was that my sister and her husband was going to be in Utah for the weekend and since we were going to see her, might as well see everyone else. It was an amazing weekend, I loved seeing my sister again ( it has been 2 years since the last time I saw her), she got to meet Sydney and see the rest of our cousins. We went to a Temple Open House, that in it self was absolutely amazing and beautiful. To be in the Temple with all of my family ( my parents, siblings, Quinton and Sydney) was a unforgettable morning that I will always cherish forever. Then last we met up with the rest of our family and had a huge BBQ at the church. There were so many of us, that we had no where else to go. I loved seeing cousins, aunts and uncles that I have not seen in many years. What a wonderful and cherished time we had together. On Sunday we went to see the Spoken Word, at the end of the broadcast we were tolled that the Prophet was there. I could not believe it, I have never met the prophet or seen him before in person. It was truly a special moment. Then we all went back to my aunts house for an amazing lunch and dinner. On Monday and Tuesday we devoted to spending time with Quinton's side of the family. He has all of his aunts, uncles, cousins, both sets of grandparents that all live in Utah and Wyoming. I was so glad that Sydney got to meet and get to know better her great grandparents. She is the only Great Grand daughter on both side, so it was a lot of fun. To make things even better we got to see Quinton's brother Colter and his new wife Holly. They just moved to Utah and are attending BYU... go Cougars!!! Even though it was only a couple of weeks ago that we saw them. We got to see their apartment which is literally a block away from the Provo Temple.... Amazing. On Tuesday we drove up to Wyoming to spend the day with Quinton's Aunt Karen and her family. They are so sweet and were so good to us. It truly was an amazing weekend full of fun, laughs and most of all love. It was probably the most special seeing my sister since visits are rare and few ( it can be hard when you live all the way in Alabama). Thank you to everyone, we love you all!!!
