June

In June, I had the opportunity to go down to St. George for the weekend with two of my dear writing buddies, Kristen and Hannah. It was a great chance to relax, write, converse, and just all around enjoy some time away. Thanks ladies for a wonderful trip! Sorry folks, no pictures.

The weekend after I went to St. George was the 3rd Bi-Annual Don Reynolds Family Reunion. I was in charge! It was a bit crazy when our venue fell through the week of and I had to come up with a backup plan. Despite the stress, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I think everyone had a good time. We ate a lot of good food, went swimming, had a craft, bounce house, and pinata for the kids, played a game where we learned the name of Noelle's baby due in August (Howard Miguel Torres, a.k.a. Howie), enjoyed an adults only evening (love all the kids, but a nice chance to talk without having to shout!), and had a wonderful testimony meeting on Sunday. It was SO great to have everyone together and especially wonderful to see Chris and his kids from CA and Jess, Just and kids from WA. I JUST LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Note: In this picture of the 18 grandkids, Afton is the one crying up top, and Maeryn is on the bottom row. The grandkids picture is always an interesting experience. :)
