August 2011

The month of August was full of traveling but I will try to give short snippets.

 First was Brittany and Dakotah's wedding. I realized I have no actually wedding pictures but here is one at the BBQ.  This is all of Ryan's siblings.

 Then I drove up north to visit my sister in her new house for the first time. Here are the cousins!

 Roasted marshmallows

Mia saw my sister's backyard and ran to me and said, "Mom they have a park in the back!!" Joys of apartment living :)

 At the rodeo

 Canning pickles for the first time. Easier then I thought it would be, but it took a lot of time. My sister is super sufficient, I learned a lot. Those are her own garden grown pickling cucumbers!

 Then we went back to Utah. This is a family picture for my birthday.

 Going out for my birthday.

 Ryan surprised me with one of my very best friends that I hadn't since in forever. It was perfect.
