Well this is a warning to those of you who have fancy little backgrounds for your blogs. I thought to myself today well Toms home teaching, I'm bored so maybe I'll switch the background on my blog. I found this really cute one that I liked, went through this big hassle to put it on, then everything on my blog was gone. All my widgets, pictures, EVERYTHING! So I start trying to do things to make it better and its just getting worse and worse to the point that I didn't even have pictures on my blog I have words and codes. So finally after about 2 hours some how I figured something out and fixed it. So that's why if things seem crazy or if I left you out on the side that's why. My point is just leave your background the same, its too much of a hassle to do.

Trip out to West and Seabass Wedding
Toms brother Seabass got married this past weekend and we were all there. Tom myself and his parents drove out to Utah on a 4 day trip. I wont lie and say that it wasn't long and tough sometimes but it was really a awesome trip. We went to Nauvoo and saw the pageant there, we went to Carthage and Independence which were all nice reminders of the church history and what Joseph Smith Went through. On the last leg of the trip we drove through Rocky mountain national park which was a beautiful drive then we were in Utah. It was so nice to be with the whole family and see everyone, I even got to spend some time with Amber which was wonderful. Friday morning we all went and saw Batman which was sooo good. I recommend you go see it! But it was a great trip and I really love Toms family so much they just have welcomed me in and love me too like a sister. I am sad that we are not all together. so enjoy the pictures!
This is all the grand kids, Once again it was very late and they were tired, so this is the best picture that I was able to get of them.
Me and Lora gotta love that pose.
So for the wedding Suzanne wanted all the little girls to wear these white dresses with this teal ribbon around it. Frank was taking a picture of Suzanne and the girls and Ethan wanted to be in the picture but he couldn't, So he goes and sits down on the floor and says "I'm so mad at my mom right now". It was really funny.
This is Suzanne and the girls.. why Ethan got upset.
Me and Tom at the wedding reception.
While driving through the mountains Tom and Ralph wanted to have a snowball fight. I think I did a good job with the picture.
Allie Conner and Tom 
This is Joe and his wife Leah. Tom and Joe have been nest friends for a long time. It was so nice to see them we haven't seen Joe since our wedding. His wife is pretty she has some killer cheek bones!
This is Seabass and Suzanne coming out of the temple. We are soooooo happy for them!
This is the best picture that I could get of all the kids together. It was getting late and people were getting a little not so happy anymore so its a quick picture but one of the better ones. There they are all 7 of them!
This was in the Nauvoo visitor center. We really thought that this was a beautiful statue.
This is the Mississippi river, one of the spots where the saints crossed.
Nauvoo Temple. It is so pretty.
We went to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was super cold up there but very pretty to look at.
Ralph thought it would be a good idea to stop and take some pictures right on the side of the mountain on this HUGE drop off. I was to scared to get out of the car.

Happy 4th of July!!!
On the 4Th of July Tom's family has for many years gone up to Canada to this really nice park and had a non crowed picnic. it was a really nice day yesterday and we Had a lot of fun!!
Jack is getting so big and Cute!!! I cant believe thats he going to be 1 next month!!
We went swimming yesterday the water was so cold it took your breath away but it was still fun!
I didnt feed the horse but it would open its mouth just wide enough so that you could put the food in it.
I juat wanted to hold a bunny, but they were all just out of reach.
Hey Buddy
Nathan thought that when Tom would say "hey buddy" it was the funniest thing in the whole world. Amber said that later that day he would walk around and talk in that voice.
Summer Time
My sisters were able to come out this summer. Andi was here for about 6 weeks and Amber came out for about a week. it was so much fun having them here. we did a lot of things together, mostly laying by the pool, hanging out at the house, having one sleep over and my grandparents 50Th wedding anniversary party. I know Eva and Nathan love me but they had so much fun with Tom. I wish everyone lived closer together so it want so hard to get together and hang out bur it was a really good visit.
I think Eva really enjoyed Tom alot more than me at times. But it was fun watching them play together.
This was at my grandparents 50Th wedding anniversary party. I cant believe 50 years, that's a pretty amazing feat these days so it was a joy to be able to be a part of it with them.
We had sparkling cider for the toast and Nathan and Eva really enjoyed drinking it. Every time their glass was empty they would say "MORE, MORE".. It was really cute.
At the end of the day Tom realized that we didn't have a family picture. I think we all look good beside missing 2 hubbies and a cute little girl it turned out good. 
We spent alot of time in the pool and Tom my cute hubby just loves to play in the pool.. we have this video me and Andi are playing with Eva and you see Tom in the background rolling over this really big ball in the water.. It was funny so needless to say he was playing when I took this picture. :)
Nothing is better than a sister.
