Happy Memorial Day

My weekend was so much fun. A lot of family time...just how I like it. We had extra fun because Brooke came in from Provo aaand we have Lily all week while Joel and Valerie are in Hawaii!:) The weekend started out by getting to see my dad sing in a Memorail Day concert on Friday night. Usually we're going to concerts to see my mom sing but this time it was so much fun to get to sit in the audience with my mom and watch my dad be the star. I suggest everyone goes to this concert next year. It's a free show put on by Desert Chorale down at UNLV and it's so patriotic...I love it.

Then on Monday we got to go to the lake! Brooke didn't get to come because she had to drive back to Provo...I was pretty sad about that, but we had fun for the couple days she was here. I love the lake...we all had so much fun swimming, tubeing, cliff jumping (Rex and dad were the only brave ones), knee boarding (me and Rex were the only ones who tried), and just hanging out together. Here are LOTS of pictures...

I love this picture of my dad

Lily was a little scared to get in the water with Grandpa, but she was better as soon as she got back to Grandma

They hit heads and Nina got hurt, but Rex was there to take care of her

I caught air on the tube...right before I flipped haha

Mom was the funniest

Hayley has a really big/wierd fear of water (like lakes and oceans) so I was proud of her for coming on the tube with me. She started to have fun after a while. Oh and yes...I was extremely uncomfortable. haha

My first time knee boarding...I was terrible

I am so grateful for my family and for this wonderful country!! Happy Memorial Day!

mybeautifulsis...

Last night my sister Hayley went to Prom. She was breath-taking to say the least. Joel immediately told her to run back up stairs, take off the make-up, and put on some sweats... he felt a little uncomfortable with her "actually looking like a girl, for the first time." Joel also taught Hayley some self defense moves and requested a word with her date before he took her for the night. Haha...he's a protective older brother. Hayley's date was Ned Meservey. He was such a sweet date for her and looked great in his tux...they matched perfectly! His reaction to her beauty was priceless. She walked into the room and as soon as he saw her his mouth hung open and said "Oh my gosh Hayley!" and gave her a HUGE hug. It was so funny. If you can't tell, I love to brag about my sister. She's my best friend and I honestly don't know what I would do with out her!
