Family Reunion July 2011

So this year my family had an official Family Reunion. But it was just a reunion for my immediate family! Meaning my siblings and their families, and my parents, and me!

It was a ton of fun! We did a little bit of fly fishing!


A little bit of biking! And of course it was grandma leading all of her little ducklings in a row.


Even the littlest kids got to enjoy the bike ride!


And of course there is just the good old bonding time!


And Bethany in all of her cuteness!!! Who also if you can believe it or not is walking!!! She was all over the place! But she really loved standing in the doorways, She got some sort of satisfaction of being able to stand right in the middle of the doorway. It was really funny!


And this is our quaint little cabin that was capable of holding all 15 of us.


Family Meeting. It was always funny to watch the little boys during our family meetings, they were always laughing and playing, and always cute!


Of course at a family reunion, you always want to take family pictures, and in order to look nice for the pictures, we got new shirts, but the new shirts were just for the girls only. And of course when we put them on the silliness in us came out!


My cute Bethany!!!!!
One of the last things we did was celebrate my birthday!!! I turned 22 this year. And this birthday has been one of the few where I have my whole family with me to celebrate my birthday! I have not had my whole family with me for my birthday in at least 7 years, if not more! All in all it was a very good birthday! And an excellent Family Reunion!

The Rest of the Year 2010

So I know I am far behind in updating my blog, like a year behind, but regardless, I am gonna give all the people reading my blog a quick update of the year 2010 starting in my Summer Semester of School (April 2010).

So my summer semester of school was pretty awesome! I had some really good roommates, and the snow finally started to melt in Rexburg. Which always makes my life that much better! And of course what is a little roommate fun without some fruit smoothies in a margarita glass!
But like all good things, the semester of fun must come to an end! So back home I go. Back to good old New Mexico and good old Costco. But then again going back home is not so bad when you have a cute niece like my Bethany and Isaiah to go home to! Don't get me wrong I was excited to see the rest of my family, but there is something about a niece and nephew that just make me happy. But then again who wouldn't be happy when you can come home to this!
And of course coming home at the end of the Summer means that the next season is Fall which means it is time for the Balloon Fiesta and the State Fair!! The State Fair is always awesome to go to because you get great food, and great activities for some family fun. Then there is the Balloon Fiesta, which I have not been to in at least 7 years. So it was so much fun to go to!


Good old Thanksgiving Time. This Thanksgiving has probably been one of the smallest Thanksgiving in terms of how many family members I have had at home for this time of year. None the less, It was still an amazing Thanksgiving with amazing food!
Time for Christmas!!! I love Christmas, and this year in particular we actually decided to go to the NORTH POLE!!! ....... no really we did, in a sense. We decided to take a ride on the Polar Express which happened to be located in Arizona. While on the Polar Express we were "Magically Transported" to the North Pole! It was an amazing adventure and an awesome Christmas! And I got to spend the whole vacation with my entire family, which made this Christmas that much better!! And yes we did get to meet Santa Clause!Ready I am! Here I go! Jumping into 2011 is the way to go!!!!! So It is finally 2011, but I am not going back to school right away! I have decided to stay home and work, and take some online classes. Which I don't mind at all, because now I don't have to deal with the Rexburg snow, and I have also made some really great friends at Costco! They have moved me to the night shift, so I now work with a close knit crew, which is amazing! And I love my co-workers very much! But sadly it is almost time for my summer semester to start again. So it is time to say See ya Later Costco and Hello Idaho!
