July part 2!!!

this post is gonna be all over the place but so much has been happening in these few short weeks. and i cant believe our summer is practically over.

we went to Nauvoo! and we loved it, its a testimony builder for sure, and an amazing tribute to our faithful pioneer ancestors.two words describe it.. faith and sacrifice. my trials are nothing in comparison. the spirit there is infectious. everyone needs to go! i am so grateful that we got to experience it...we learned and felt so much!

right when we got back my sister Rhianna called for some wedding planning help, so me and the sisters (minus lissa, sorry missed you) got together for some invitation sending. we decided to make a party out of it and everyone came to Thatcher for some good 'ole chill time. Love my Family!(especially you troy and evie!)

July part 1.

the 4th was great! we did what we have done for the past 3 years... we went to taylor with the lunts. this year was a little different because my 2 sisters and their husband and husband to be met up with us and got to take part in the festivities. barbecue,blowing up an anvil, a rodeo, and we topped it off with some fireworks. 3 days later we went to the lunt family reunion and got to hang out in the best summer weather i have ever experienced. evie and i got to meet some family we didn't know we had and i got a little taste of evie's daily routine. eat, chill, and sleep. we camped, we hiked, Troy went fishing, i almost stepped on a snake, it rained, we played some cards, and we never stopped eating. i loved it. these pics aren't in order but are they ever? nope.
