Sorry I'm a slacker!

So I have to admit that I started this blog, not think that people would really read it. So I was checking tonight and was shocked that I had comments! Thanks to those who left comments, it make me feel loved. Anyway, we have been super busy this last month. First of all at the end of July, we went to Yellowstone with my Bro Billy and his Lovey wife Emily. We had a great time there, and discovered many new things we had never seen. If anyone is planning a trip there, make sure you hike to the brink of the upper and the lower falls. It was one of the most amazing things I've seen. Absolutely beautiful! The brink of the lower falls- the picture does it no justice.

We took 4 days for this trip, and got home for about 3 hours and packed up and drove to Bear Lake for a get together with my immediate family. Joel's Grandmother has a cabin right on the lake, so we spend a lot of time there during the summer. It was really fun be able to spend time there with my family. We had such a great time, and made a "Big Grundle" of memories.(yeah, you had to be there).

Our footed jamerz! though very comfy and warm... they do nothing for your figure!

We came home for a week and packed up and headed back for Joel's big big big family reunion. It is the Robbins reunion, so that is his Grandfather and his sibling and all their descendants. So it's big, really big. They have 5 cabins all in a row. Our cabin had over 90 people in it, so it was a little crowded. Lizzie had a hard time camping this time because of the bad weather, but it wasn't too bad. It was a fun time, and Lizzie won one of the raffled quilts, so that is a fun heirloom. Next we came home for 3 days, and Lizzie and I packed up and went to Logan for my family reunion. We went to Hyrum Dam and had a fun time. I stayed a few days with my sister and she had a Lia Sophia party for me. It was a fun time. And now we are home....... trying to get back into the swing of things. Oh also, I started reading the Twilight series the day that Breaking Dawn came out. I was glad that I waited, because the suspense of waiting for the next book was not there. I have finished them, and really liked them, but still want more! Joel is reading Breaking Dawn right now and is really into it. So all you guys out there that think it is just for girls, he'll tell you otherwise! Anyway, We are still working on our yard :( We have decided to do more then we originally planned, so it is taking a lot longer. I have to say that I wish we would have taken people's advice when they said to "buy a house with the yard already done". Really, if you don't have a house yet, take that advice! I beg you! It will save you so much time and money and sanity (which is the most important!) So I love you all, and promise that I will be better at this!
