Provo (P-Town)

Some pretty flowers at Thanksgiving Point

Catherine Stewart and I drove down to Provo one weekend for our old roommate, Michelle Hudsons wedding reception. We stayed at my Grandpas house with my sister Teresa. We went and spent the evening Jet skiing with my cousin Andrew and his friends. We had a blast! The best was trying to knock the person behind you off the jet ski. I had blood blisters for weeks on my hand from holding on so tight. It was really fun and the water was just right. Catherine and I managed to come away with only a few really bad bruises. That night we played the most awesome game of Quelf with Nathan, Andrew and friends. On Saturday we had lunch with our friends Joe and Erin. I was able to visit my aunts which was fun. That afternoon Erin took us to Thanksgiving Point to tour the Gardens. She has been internshiping there for the Summer. After that we went to Michelle and Stephens receptions. It was beautiful and they looked so happy. They had a fairytale theme that was so cute! I was able to see my friend Daniel there and catch up with him. Sunday we went to church and went to Roaches house for a while. Andrew took me on an awesome motorcycle ride around Provo. I had been having a few car troubles the week before we left but he made it there and back safely.

Westover Reunion

The Westover Reunion was really fun this year. I didn’t get to spend a whole lot of time there because I was moving and working, but I was able to sneak in a few hours here and there. It was great to catch up with friends and cousins. The theme this year was Harry Potter so we had a lot of fun Hogwarts School type activities.

Family!!!

Peyton, Winston and Grandpa

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.

Fourth of July Weekend

This fourth of July was a long weekend for me. I had Thursday and Friday off of school and Friday off of work. Friday I went to Rigby Lake with some roommates and friends. We fried! I should have worn sunscreen, but oh well. Friday night we went to Idaho Falls because Brother Yost, the second counselor in my Bishopric, put on a huge fire work show for their neighborhood. All the neighbors donate some money and the Idaho Fire Marshall has to approve the show and stand by in case of a fire. It was really awesome and worth the drive. Saturday I went to the Rexburg Parade with Tyler and Heather Smith, Danny and Kylee. After that I went out to my parents house for a BBQ. Later that afternoon my roommates and I went to our Bishops house in Idaho Falls for a Ward BBQ and then the Meleluca fire works. Sunday we celebrated two different birthdays. It was a nice relaxing weekend and it was hard to go back to school and work on Monday.
