A Few Random Mini Posts

We went to the rodeo in Ogden this summer with the Lohrke's and the Clinger's. It was HOT sitting in the setting sun. But it was a fun little rodeo. There was a little boy that would turn around and start chatting with us. It was a fun distraction. I love my friends!

My friends are really good at sending encouragement whenever they can. I love them!!

I made pickles with Marcie and Lisa this summer. I have a feeling we'll be doing that again!!!

Darla likes it when I have time to give her the snuggles she thinks she needs. 

This is Marcie. She is the funniest girl. I love her spunk and that she loves soda as much as I do!!

We made these at Liz's house one day. If you flip it around it says JOY. I think it's a great addition to my porch.

THE CUBS WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!! No lie. They finally broke the streak. It was SO much fun to watch. Jim and I used to watch the Cubs when we were newly wed and living in Soda Springs. We haven't kept up out die hard fan status but we have always rooted for them and hoped this day would come!!

A Wedding

First there was a funeral. My Aunt Chris was buried in Orem in the morning. The girls came to my house Friday night and stayed so we could get a crack on it early in the morning.

Then we boogied north to Pocatello for Cade's wedding to his sweetie Jade. It was fun to see this guy there. I forget he is cousins with Shannon. We were already family when Travis married Shannon (because he is Jim's brother from another mother). John is the sweetest guy.

It was the first time I'd seen Travis in a few years. I was SO happy to see him again. I love that he and his family have moved to Boise. It is so much closer than Denver!!

Always goofin'. This girl knows how to have fun.

And she has raised the most fun daughter as well. Love you Lace!!

Kind of over all the crazy. What a day we've had. Very emotional. Good and bad.

Look at us!! We got a picture like this the year Kevin came home from his mission. That was the last time we've all been together. Hopefully it will happen more often now.

Because family is what it is ALL about. Our mom would want us together more. It just makes sense. Such cuties. I think we look pretty good for a bunch of aging kids.
