Thomas Reunion at South Fork Canyon

For my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary we had a family reunion to celebrate. All of our family came from far and wide to help grandma and grandpa celebrate their love and legacy. The reunion was split up into 3 events. First, the mass in their honor, which is posted below. Second, canyon fun in South Fork. And finally, a dinner at the Marriott Courtyard. Below are the pictures of our time in the canyon.

Stockton could not believe all the open space!! He ran nonstop all night! We could barley get him to stop to eat a bite of hot dog and a chip! He is not use to going where ever he pleases. This was defiantly his favorite part of the entire reunion. It was exhausting for Paul and I to chase him around, but well worth it.

All the kids enjoyed rolling down the hills. Shhhh, don't tell Amy that Talon rolled down after she told him not too! :) It had just rained so the grass was all wet. There wasn't much parents could do about it, it was just too tempting!

Such a beautiful place! It was so great to have all the kids meet each other, some for the first time.

My mom and Talon. These two have such a close relationship!

All the family enjoyed good healthy competition.

Fun at Season's Salon!!

So all the girls in the family went to Season's Salon to get glitter toes! It was so fun. The kids were way excited to be pampered.

Sydney and Abby were so cute getting their toes and nails done.

My mother and my aunt Theresa.

I did a football theme on my toes - for upcoming football season, ya know?!

The cutest cousins in the world!

Well, my family told me that I needed a makeover. Yea not so nice, but hell someones gotta tell us the truth. They took me to Nordstrom's and had the lady there fix me. She taught me how to do my makeup so that my eyes "pop." This is me after my makeover.

65th Wedding Anniversary Mass

Breaking Dawn Reflection

Ok, I finished Breaking Dawn last night and have had a chance to reflect. I absolutely loved the book and devoured every word. This book had everything: romance, happiness, sadness, and adventure. My reason for reading this Series was completely “mind candy.” I did not expect literary genius or to gain any sort of inspiration. I simply love the characters and enjoy pulling myself out of my life and into theirs. After reading this fourth book I have had a change of heart. I connect with these characters in a way I didn’t realize. I did learn from this Series. What I took from this book is simple; true love exists. I am afraid that others will read this Series and feel that what Edward and Bella have is impossible, unusual, or unrealistic. It is real, and does exist! I know because I have it. My husband is perfect (at least in my eyes.) I feel nothing but blessed that he loves me in return and that we have a gorgeous baby together. :) Happy Reading!!

Breaking Dawn Party at BYU

Bella: "Should I be afraid?"

Edward: "Terrified."

I could not be more excited about Stephenie Meyer's newest book, Breaking Dawn. It came out last night at midnight!

My friends and I made fantastic shirts and went to the Breaking Dawn party at BYU. Although we spent most of our time in the Blood Drive line, it was fun to get the book at midnight and start reading. Yes, I am insane and read until 3am!

Tay and Shay

Tayten and I

Not only the Cullen's need blood... Unfortunately the line was freaking huge! Not wanting to miss our chance at getting our hands on the book we ditched out before we could actually give our blood.
Thought that counts, right?!

Live Entertainment.

Oh Yeah Baby!!!

Two very excited girls!!

Yes, Tayten kissed her book when she finally got it!
What a riot!

Rainbow... Rainbow... Rainbow...

It is so hard to get a picture of Laurie smiling, but Mindy captured the best Laurie ever!! She plays on the piano, singing her favorite song "Rainbow" often, but this time we caught her in a smile!! She is so stinkin' cute! She is the light of all our lives. My son just loves to be around her and talks to her all day. I am so glad he has her for an aunt!!
