Life Is Wonderful

Is there ever a time in life where it is not crazy busy? Because I feel like all of my blog posts begin with "life has been crazy", because it always is! But it is also wonderful and happy and full of love. I've had my sister come home from her mission, my brother leave for his mission, I'm finishing up school in the next month, a cabin trip, the best concert that has ever happened and will every happen and an unforgettable trip to New Mexico.

going through the temple with two of my siblings and both my parents was such a great experience

we got to take some of my cousins up to the cabin for an incredibly fun weekend

Mumford and Sons, aka the best concert that will ever happen

trip to New Mexico for a wedding and balloon fiesta

something awesome about this picture is that it includes, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, cousins kids, married in cousins and we are all so close, some of us grew up in Utah, some New Mexico and we have still grown up closer than most families and we've been able to keep that relationship up over the years and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Star Valley, Wyoming

We spent our 4th of July weekend in the beautiful Star Valley, Wyoming. It's becoming one of my favorite places:) It's just so beautiful and peaceful. We spent a lot of time with family, we went on a trail in a jeep and we (I) took lots of naps. 

hey there

-Bryan and I FINALLY got a calling, we are the 14/15 year old Sunday school teachers

-I also FINALLY started school, I'm 3 days in and I'm absolutely in love, I know this is what I'm meant to do! I just cannot wait to learn everything and actually do it and use it. 

-We went on our annual camping trip over Memorial Weekend. We stayed in the beautiful American Fork Canyon. It was so beautiful and rainy and as much fun as a tent is, we started looking on ksl for a trailer the second we got service:)

-I really miss my sister

-I started watching Raising Hope again and I forgot how hilarious it is. Now I just need to finish Lost... 3 months later

-If you haven't seen Interstellar or The Imitation Game, I would recommend both. Especially Interstellar. 

-One of our favorite Sunday activities is going to my parents and playing with remote control cars

^ Isn't he the cutest?:) ^

Sister's Weekend+

As I'm sure you've seen all over my Facebook and Instagram, I went on a little weekend trip to Moab with all the women on my mom's side of the family.

A little background, in February 2002, my grandparents were doing some traveling in their motorhome. My Grandpa got sick and they went to the hospital only to discover that he had cancer. Within a half an hour of finding out, my mother and her 4 sisters were on their way to the hospital. They spent a lot of time together just as sisters. My Grandpa died of cancer on February 9, 2002 in Needles, Cal.

A few years later, my mom and her 4 sister and mom decided to go on a "Sister Trip" every year around the same to get that same sister time with my grandma.

This year, all the daughters of the 5 sisters were invited. All but 4 of us were there! We travelled from Northern Utah, New Mexico and Arizona to all be together and it was such a great and uplifting weekend.

yes, we're those people. the ones who get awesome matching shirts

of course we made a paper livi

thank you to my aunts, cousins, grandma and mother for such a fun and memorable weekend!
