I made a really quick trip to Idaho with my Mom and my sister Madi for a family reunion. It was so fun, and 3 days just is not enough! I didn't even get to visit my sweet sister in laws who were just a few hours away. (Miss you guys!)Chad didn't even get to come because he had to work. I missed ya babe, thanks for all your hard work!
The family reunion was great! We got to see lots of my cousins and aunts and uncles! My Uncle Val made an awesome slide show set to music that went back five generations! It so neat to hear about ancestors who came before and the legacy they left. I am grateful for forever families. Thanks Uncle Matt and Aunt Tana for letting us stay with you. I wished we lived closer! Actually I wish I had my own personal transporter, like on Star Trek, (you know...."Beam me up Scottie") Cause even though we flew, traveling is still stressful and we were all tired by the time we got home!

Me at Wood River. Its so pretty there! Wood River is just like a half mile from Uncle Matt's. I spent so many summers there as a little girl when my grandparents lived there, it sorta feels like going home.


Just a field that looked pretty on our walk. Me and Aunt Tana had a great afternoon playing with the settings on our cameras!


Aunt Tana I had a great time visiting, cooking and finding great deals on baby food! Ha Ha! 'Clean up on aisle 5 please....'


Say Cheese! Me, my cousins Kaitlyn, Sadie, Emma, and my Uncle Val


Baby Riggins is so cute and Chubby! This picture is kinda blurry though.




I love this picture of Madi, Sadie and Grace! This is a field by the cemetery where my grandparents are buried. We stopped to put flowers on their graves, but the girlies got bored and went to explore!


8 is Great! Madi Girl got baptized this summer! She is growing up so fast, and I am so proud of her and the good girl she is!

Meg, Me, Mom and Emma after the baptism. Group Photo!

Some updates and pictures!!....(ok lots of pictures!)

New Couches!! Yeah! Since we have been married, almost all of our furniture has been given to us. We are always so greatful and we have nice stuff, but this is the first big thing we have bought for our house. I am horrible at picking stuff out. I know what I like but I can never decide if it will look good once we get it home, and it is hard to spend money when you arn't sure. Luckily my mom was down last weekend, (I can always trust her judgement when it comes to clothes and decorating!) and she was so nice and came to look with me. I really liked these, and I LOVE them now that we got them home! p.s. thanks mom and chad for putting up with my indecision that day! HaHa! Love ya!


They go great with the entertainment center too!


Madi had a blast playing with the packing that the couches came in! Funny Girlie!


Happy Valentines Day! I love roses!...and Chocolate!


Madi wanted a picture of her being a Hula Girl.


Chad and I went up the mountain the other day and had a picnic and took some pictures of the valley, it was super cold and windy. I wanted to get a picture of the Temple with my new camera lense, but it was to dusty.


I thought the mountain looked so cool in this picture. I love having a beautiful mountain so close! This is just from the front yard.


Snow in the Desert.


I made a super quick trip to Idaho at the begining of January. My little sister Meghan is going to BYU Idaho and I went with her to help her get moved in! I am so proud of her, and miss her tons! I was sad not to see all my Idaho family! Besides having to leave Meg, that was the worst part. I needed two weeks to be able to see everyone! We only had about five days, three of which we were driving, and the rest was crazy moving, shopping and unpacking. But I was so glad to go, it was nice to spend time with Meg too! This is her in her new room!


I cried so much when we left Meghan at school. I was so worried about her, but also excited for her, and we have never really been apart. She is one of my best frieds and it has been weird with her gone, but she is doing so great!


This is my newest little cousin Riggins. He is such a cutie! When we took Meg to school we stayed at my Uncle Matt and Aunt Tana's house. It was so great to see them and the kids. Aunt Tana is a great cook, and even though we were only there for like a day and a half, I think I gained a few pounds. (Pomegranite salsa.....So Good!!) Uncle Matt even got the snow machines out for us! I am not so adventurous, I really just rode up and down the road, at a nice slow pace, but uncle Matt is amazing on those things! It was way fun!


Aunt Tana, and Baby Riggins. My Aunt T is awesome, and really fun to be around. I hope she is not mad about this early morning picture!! Sorry if you are Aunt Tana, I think it is a great picture. :)


Me and Meg


Wood River down the road from Uncle Matt's. So pretty!
