Wedding, Trips, Trips, and even more Trips

Summer has been busy, busy, busy! The two major highlights for the family were Nikki, Darrin, and Ella coming and, of course, Pat and Kirstie's wedding!

The Bride and Groom

Pat and Kirstie went to Florida on their honeymoon and had a great time. They also went to Peru with Mom and Dad to see the people Pat met and taught on his mission. They loved meeting these amazing people and had a fun time sight-seeing. Pat and Kirstie then went to Canada with Kirstie's family. They had a great time visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins!

Nikki, Darrin, and Ella stayed here for a month to come to the wedding and go to Lake Powell with the Burnhams. We loved having them here and can't wait for them to move back permanently!

Mom and Dad took me (Em) to Europe for my senior trip. It was amazing and gorgeous! We had a lot of fun seeing the old cultures of Venice, Croatia, Athens, and Olympia.

Liz has been busy with marching band. She's in pit this year and loves learning her part on the vibraphone. We can't wait to see the show!

Anna and Becca visited Ohio for the month of July. They kept Ella happy and loved to spoil her with their attention. They had a lot of adventures (including a loss of power for several days and a trip to the hospital), and Nikki and Darrin appreciated their help.

Mom, Dad, and Camel

Becca and Liz took a turn

The family went to Cedar City and St. George to see Les Miserables and Aladdin. Tuacahn is always amazing, and this year was no exception. One adventure we had was riding a camel. We loved spending time as a family!

Now we're all getting ready for school. Becca will be in fourth grade and is excited to follow in all the siblings' steps and have Mrs. Gundry as her teacher. Anna will be in 8th grade and is excited to continue band and be on yearbook staff. Liz will be a junior at Viewmont and is the section leader for pit in marching band. I am all moved in down in Provo and am excited to start college. Pat and Kirstie have started classes at the U and SLCC. Darrin, Nikki, and Ella are in Ohio, and we can't wait for Darrin to finish law school and hopefully move back here! Mom and Dad are trying to figure out everyone's schedules, and trying to get used to having half their kids out of the house.
