Finding Emily Reunion

About a year or so ago my Aunt wrote a historic novel on my great great grandma Emily. I loved reading this book because I was able to learn more about my family and where I come from. Also while I read this book it made me realize how blessed I really am and how grateful I am that I live in todays time! I promise I would have not have survived! Anyways, while I was in Utah we drove up to Wyoming to have a "Finding Emily Reunion" and to see the places in the book and to learn even more of Emily.

My gorgeous cousin Sheena wearing my great grandmother's wedding dress!
This was Emily's first home when she moved to WY. She lost her husband and two children while living here... one of the many reasons I would not have survived!

Here is a group photo of most the people at the reunion.
Here is what we look like after 2 days in the Wyoming desert sun.. However this was taken in front of my late grandpa's barn so I love it for that reason.
A few of my girl cousins! I love these beautiful, kind, talented girls!
My family's brand.
And I just love this one of my two nephews Adam and Jaxson!

Trip Home!

I spent most of the month of June up in Utah with my family. I had so much fun and I was able to do so much while I was there. I just downloaded all of my pictures from my trip and I had over 1000 pictures... so here are just a few in a nut shell!

Brinley we love so much! She is my little brothers girlfriend and competed in the Miss Utah Pageant. She did amazing and I was so proud of her! Here is a picture of the shoe parade (the shoes were suppose to tell about your personality) Don't Brinley's rock? Oh you can't tell but they even sparkle.... I love them!!!

My very adorable Brielle watching the Parade!
And here she is with her cute cousins Alivia and Mailee!
Todd and Addison also showing their support for Brinley!
Earlier that day I went to lunch with my BFF's from way back! It was so good to see all of them and to catch up! I love these girls!!!
I think I am ready for bed so I will have to post some more pictures from my fun trip home tomorrow!
