This weekend, my family was able to all get together. We haven't all been together for about 10 months now. It was a lot of fun. All the nieces and nephews had a lot of fun playing together and the adults had fun catching up. We also went to an outdoor expo in the Sevier Valley Center. It was fun to look at the booths and the kids enjoyed the fishing pond and rock wall. Overall it was a wonderful weekend and i am so happy i got to spend it with family. I want them all to know that we love them so much and are so thankful for each of them! :) LOVE YOU!
All the sisters!
Funny faces!
Cute Sydnee!
Carly, Porter and Spencer!
Adorable Parker!
