Family Vacation continued...feeling really thankful today!!

I think during this visit one of the things that I came home very thankful for is FAMILY!! Man they are amazing and I love every member...so while I am sharing photos of this last week I also wanted to pay tribute to Family Members...that make all the time a special time even when we are doing nothing...it is the best!! So here goes....

We blessed Skyler on my Birthday a day I will never forget it which is such a blessing especially if you know me and my memory...check out the candles!! I know impressive. It was fun to celebrate with family.

This cute guy that is with me has been with me at all times and is the most amazing guy in the world...man he is so super cute too!!! I love that smile and I am so thankful for every little moment we get to share together.

I am so thankful for Kids...YEA...I can say KIDS!!! These two bring so much joy to me and I never thought this day would come...

Skyler is such a sweet little guy...super patient...and very mellow. He loves attention (gets that from his daddy) and loves to be hugged and kissed (also gets that from his daddy!!) He only crys when he really needs something and his cry often has a cute little snort to it!! I love it..so cute!! I am so thankful he made it here and we got to have this special day.

He was blessed in price Utah and was wearing a little white suit with a blue vest and bow tie that grandma oveson made...it was all cowboy cut...Grandpa Oveson would be proud :D

Marisa is my girl with tons of energy and has always been friendly to everyone. She loves to make others smile and always makes me smile with what she says or does. She is always willing to help and work hard...I can't tell you how many moves she has helped her mom and dad with in the ward...I love and am so thankful for that smiley, spunky girl of mine!!

The Second most amazing man in my life has been this guy...my DAD...I am so grateful for who he is and the example and lessons that he always taught me....it was always in the way the Savior would do it. He has always been there for me and my family and I love this guy!! I am so thankful for the Dad I have!!

This lady is amazing...my mom...she is always on the move and is a great example of setting goals and keeping them. She has always been there for me to talk to whenever I have needed and is a real true friend. I am so thankful for all of the advice that she has given me and the love that she always shows to me

Dallen (littlest brother) I am so thankful for because he is always one to make others feel loved and welcome. Always ready to do something fun and ready for any kind of adventure. Love ya dal

Megan...even though there are a few years between us it is so great to have a close sister...she always is there for me whenever I want to talk and it is so amazing but we have the same taste in clothes, food and indecisiveness...I am glad I am not the only one out there that has great taste!! Love you girl!!

Tom was my savior when I came home from a mission...I was so super backward and he helped me to feel normal...I love all of the talks that we have and how many good memories we have had!! Thanks for always being there.

Dan has been the one that I have always looked up to..ok not just literally but he has so many qualities that I think are so great...It was so fun when we lived in the same town and got to hang out. He is always one to take things as they come and is really laid back about almost everything!! thanks for always being a great example.

This is my other Sister...Stephanie...I am so glad that my brother was so smart and married such an amazing girl...She is so much fun to talk to and I love how we can totally joke around...thanks so much for always being there and I have to tell you thanks again for coming to see us at the hospital...I will always remember that and I am so glad my brother married such a great gal!!

This girly is so super cute!! She makes me laugh every time I hear her laugh and see that smile!! I love being an aunt to this cutie!!

Ok so he is not family but he is Megan's boe and it was so much fun to interrogate him...lol...and after our interrogation we have found he is a great guy...we will see what comes of it??

Man I love all of the men in our family...this is a photo of all the eagle scouts in our family with grandpa Parkinson at dallens eagle court but there will be another post about that :D Man they look good~~

Aunts and Uncles...yes they put up with me when I was younger and they still love me...amazing...but they have always been there for all kinds of events and now that I am older we are really good friends...funny how you hit a certain age and you are no longer the annoying child but the friend...thanks for all of the fun times and memories!!

Grandparents...this photo is what I took as he was looking at Skyler and I love the joy that is all over his face and how much he loves being a great grandpa...he recently fell and was in the hospital and has had mini strokes...I am so thankful for my grandparents and all the love that they have always shown me...there are so many different things I have learned from them and I am the person I am today because of there love and example.

I have so much to be thankful for I am going to have to continue another day...I am so thankful for family!!!

What a week!!

We had such a great week with family and being in the country that we all were not ready to go home when the time came...but we had a so much fun and took tons of photos so instead of trying to post them all in the same day I am going to break it up and post them this week.

The week started out with tons of fun we got to price late on Friday night and we totally hit a great weekend for price...we got to go to international days. We went to a parade, check out booths and Marisa got to ride a few rides and play games. It was so much fun!!
