welcome home elder ellgen!

my youngest brother, justin, returned home from the Phillippines, Cebu mission on august 9th. it was a great reunion as all six of us children had not been together in 3 years. my other younger brother, bryce, left for his mission a year before justin so i know they were happy to see each other again. mason and i got married while both of my brothers were on their missions so it's great now that everyone knows each other! here's my cutie pitutie neice, hayley, helping me hold up the sign for justin. he flew in at 10:30 p.m. so needless to say, i'm a little tired in the picture! but i'm very glad that he's back home now and i'm grateful for the time we were able to spend in craig with our family.

here's a picture of me at the moffat county fair... they had all these pieces of equipment out to look at and so i hopped right in. if you notice, i'm a little "round" in the mid-section! :)

here's grill-master mason grilling away while we were out at the lake (aka Elkhead Reservoir). i think i had a hamburger and a hot dog because they were so good!


and here's a picture of mason and my brother, justin preparing for their man hike. that was a camping/ hiking trip that my dad, my brothers, mason and my brothers-in-law took. isn't mason guapo (handsome)! :)


and one last picture from our trip... we took hayley out to the ranch to ride the horse. i think we were watching someone else ride at this point. hayley is just too cute!
