Family!!!

So for One week all of my siblings and their families came to my parents house. It was SOOOOO much fun!!! We went to the Sand Dunes, Splash Park, canoeing, had fire's in our fire pit, stayed up way to late, and laughed a whole bunch. The little kids loved going to Danny's house and playing with his animals. It was really great having everyone in my family together again. It has been years since we had all been together at the same time. I think the last time was before Danny's mission. My aunt Jeanne and cousin Melanie and her family were able to come for a few days for the surprise bridal shower we had for my mom. Someone was always in the kitchen either cooking or doing dishes. It was crazy with all the little kids running around, but now I miss them all. I was working on my finals when everyone was here so I wasn't able to spend as much time with them as I wanted to.

So while everyone was at my house we decided to take some family pictures. It was getting dark and they were kind of spur of the moment but it was fun trying to get everyone to look at the camera and smile. Here are the best shots that we got.

New York

I spent the last week in New York visiting my brother Karl and his family. I had so much fun! I got to play with two of my nephews and have many laughs with Karl and Natalie. Natalie taught me some new recipies to make for my roommates and we did a fun craft. One afternoon we went to a Pumpkin Farm. It was so neat! they had thousands of pumpkins. You just went out in this huge field and picked the ones you wanted and they were only $2.00. They also had a little petting zoo type place. Calvin had lots of fun and William got to ride in the Wheel barrol. We also spent a day in Niagra Falls. It was so beautiful! I would recomend seeing it to anyone! We had a lot of fun getting through security at the border. They sure ask a lot of questions! I was also able to see the New York Temple and visit The Sacred Grove. It was such a wonderful and calming feeling. We played the game Life a few times. Unfortenetly I only won once. I seemed to come in last every time! Calvin and I also got to go flying from a mishap that happened on their new slide we put up. Thank goodness we only ended up with a few cuts and bruises. New England is so beautiful in the fall! I would never get sick of all the pretty sights. I am so glad I had the chance to visit my family!
