I'm Back!!

After a FUN-FILLED month we are back at home and recovering from our month of fun. We drove back to Michigan last weekend with my mom and sister and her family, and stayed a few days. Then we headed up to New York and went to Niagra Falls, and Palmyra and did the Hill Cumorah pageant. On our way home we stopped off in Kirtland and saw a few things. To say the least I'm a little exhausted! It was such a fun month, but like with all things it's good to come back to my regular life. Here's a few pictures of all the excitement, okay so maybe more than a few, and not in order:)
We went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant on their dress rehearsal night and it was wonderful. My kids and my sisters kids all were able to talk to all of the actors and actresses that they wanted to. Here they are with Alma.
Logan and Madi walking through the sacred grove. I think their favorite part of this was the wild rasberries that we found as we were walking.

Walking up the Hill Cumorah, it was pretty steep too.

We did the Maid of the Mist and it was so much fun to go right up to the falls. We all got drenched. Olivia hated the poncho on her but loved licking the water off of mine.


Before we left Utah we were able to see Grandma Hanzon and took the opportunity to get a photo with the great grand kids.

When we got back to Michigan before we left for New York Olivia FINALLY cut her first tooth. I say finally because I've thought it was coming probably the last 2 months, she was a trooper while getting it.
At Metro Beach with my neices and nephew. I love that my kids love their cousins so much. It's so much fun to get them together and makes me sad that it will be a while before we can do it again.

While in Utah I was able to get together with my friends from high school. Love those girls!
We also took family pictures with Brandon's family before we left. The entire group didn't work out super good, but these are some of my favorites. I swear Logan can't pull a normal face though.

Loved all the pictures. Looks like all the New York stuff was so fun. I am jealous! And yay for Livvy getting a tooth! Still none here...

Wait a sec...these pictures must have been taken before the haircut otherwise your hair grows way too fast.
I bet it's nice to be home!
