Nick is off to the
MTC now. We were lucky enough to see him this last weekend before he left. Prepare yourself for a long blog because I took a lot of pictures! We tried to get some nice family pictures before he left. This one was probably the best we one. Emery or Sadie were not looking in any of them! Oh well, they are still cute
whether they are facing the camera or not.
It was such beautiful weather while we were there that we spent a ton of time outside. We even planted two new trees in grandma and grandpas back yard. We said they are Emery and Sadie's trees, planted when they are one. It will be fun to see them grow as they grow. And who can resist not having a picnic while playing outside. Emery sure couldn't.
Some more fun outside shots. Nick is so sweet with Emery and Sadie. He will surely be missed by them and the parents. He helps out with them so much, and they both adore him! We also had a huge fire that night and Nick burned all of his papers and homework from school! Bet that felt good! 
Nicks luncheon after his talk on Sunday, which he did a fantastic job. He is going to make such a great missionary! Someone made him this cake and brought it over. Very cool! It is suppose to be him if you can't tell. Right when it was brought over Jennie said, "I want to eat the Book of Mormon!" Later when we were going to cut into the cake Brady says, "Jennie wants to feast on the words of Christ. " Pretty funny! Brady has the best sense of humor! I have loved getting to know him better sense he has got home from his mission! Man, I sure love this family!
Here we are after Nick got set apart. Isn't it a good looking group? This is right before we said good-bye. Below is of all the siblings at Nicks luncheon. I love this picture. Alan and Paula posterity as of now. I feel so blessed to be apart of such a wonderful family! Nick, we are so proud of you! Look out Indiana, here he comes!
Before we went up on the mountain, we celebrated Lincolns Birthday. He turned 1 years old. Tim made him a penny cake. It was great fun and we had the best homemade ice-cream I have ever had. My sister Jodi is amazing at making ice-cream, among many other things! What a great party. 
We then went up to the mountain for the actual Reunion. Boy did we ever have a great time. I tried to get a picture of some of the things we had to do there. Here are the pictures of our great adventure; four-wheelers, fishing, shooting, cooking and eating eating eating....
....games, horse ridding, campfires, canoe, and more. These are just of few of the memories I captured on camera. It is so great to get with family and build these memories. Emery loved almost every minute of it. She did so well and got REALLY dirty!
After a day of dirt, sun and fun who could resist taking a snooze while on a four-wheeler ride. Emery sure couldn't . I must admit it is what I felt like doing after the all excitement. Just want to say thanks again to everyone, for making this such a great reunion!
