Lately...Family Fun

I haven't been able to post at all lately, but I've done a lot of fun things over the last month or so, so I'm going to throw up a huge all encompassing post :)  Enjoy...


FAMILY REUNION
I got to go home in July for a family reunion with my mom's side of the family.  She was in charge of planning the reunion so I got to help her with some of the preparations.  It was really fun, and short.  I loved being able to see my nieces and nephew for a couple days!
My older brother Brett's family: Brett, Jill, Aidan, and Makenzy, and me on the right.

My cousin Michelle, me, my older brother Marc, Ashley, and my cousin Tammy
We did this awesome obstacle course that was really fun, but I didn't get any pictures!  So just picture me doing all kinds of cool acrobatics.

A few weeks after the family reunion, my mom and dad came out to Pittsburgh to see Ty and me.  We got to go see some cool places around the city...
My dad and me by a fountain in dowtown, and my mom and me at a lookout above Pittsburgh.

We went out to Kirtland while my parents were here, which was great because none of us had ever been there.  The picture on the left is in front of the John Johnson farm, which is where Joseph Smith lived when he was tarred and feathered by the mob.  On the right is my mom and me in front of the Kirtland temple.  It was really neat to see everything.


We stopped in Amish country on the way home from Kirtland.  Pretty much what that entailed was seeing all kinds of handmade furniture, (picture on the left), and buggies driving down the street with large orange hazard signs on back :)
