2012 Florida visit with Wendy and Sarah and families

All the kids had fun being together.  It was so great to see everyone at Wendy and Mike's beautiful new home.  They were so generous to let us all come right after they moved in.

Kenneth, Shannon and Vanessa were dancing to some 4th of July music.

We had a wonderful time in Florida and went to the beach two days.  It was fun to stay up late and talk with everyone and play with the grandkids during the day.  We had fun one night going to an Amish buffett.  We decided that will have to be a new tradition when we go see Wendy in Sarasota. Thank you to Sarah and Jeremy for making the effort to come see us too. Florida is very tropical and beautiful but HOT in the summer.  We miss everyone but feel very grateful to be able to come and visit. 

2011 Fall trip to see Sarah and Wendy and families

 Sarah and Jeremy dressed up and going out for a night on the town!

 I had fun babysitting the boys so Sarah and Jeremy could have a night out!

 From Pittsburgh I flew on to New Jersey to see Wendy and her family.

This blog is out of order but I realized I had never loaded these pictures. So I decided to go ahead and add them.  I had a wonderful time going to see Sarah and Wendy and their sweet families.  I had also flown to see Amy and her family last fall but don't have any pictures from that trip.  Now that I am blogging again I better get with it!  I did want to mention what a great time I had with Amy's family too.  I went one day to Seth and Brenna's classroom and I was so impressed with their charter school!  It was amazing. I am so proud of all of my daughter's and what great mother's they are.  Everyone is teaching their children the gospel and have so much love in their homes.

2012 July 4th Muir Woods trip

We had a great time visiting with Amy, Rob, Heidi, Sam and Steve and on July fourth we went to Muir Woods with Heidi and Sam.  We then flew to Florida, rented a car and drove to Wendy and Mike's beautiful new home in Sarasota, Florida.  Sarah and Jeremy and their two boys drove from Alabama to come visit too.  We had so much fun going to the beach and just being together.  It was fun to see everyone this summer.  Next summer we are planning on seeing everyone together at the same time so the grandkids can see each other! I will be posting pictures of Florida next.
