NIAGARA FALLS, need I say more?


This is such a beautiful temple with trees all around!

This is the group outside of the Sacred Grove. WOW that was an experience that I will never forget!


Under this tree was the step stone of the prophet Joseph Smith.


This is the start of the trip at Sharon, Vt at the birthplace of Joseph Smith. We enjoyed the beautiful weather this day!

The girls get a send off of a Lifetime!

My mom, sister, cousin, grandma, and me all went on a church history tour and it was the best time ever! Well we rode to the airport in a limo, it was a surprise and it was so relaxing! We thought that it was the best way to get our vacation started!

Joey gets glasses!

Joey went to the eye doctor after having failed an eye exam at school. We found out that he has a lazy eye (right). So the doctor told us that we will have to patch the left eye for six weeks to see if the right eye will get any better, well that has been a struggle for us! Joey thinks that he looks like a nerd with the glasses, well the good thing is that me and Joe both have to get glasses as well. So we are all getting the eye doctor a new house from our little family! He has done really well, we went and saw the doctor and she said that the right eye is almost as good as the left and we only have to patch it a couple of hours a day and it should only be a little while longer. I think that he looks like a little stud if you ask me!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

We enjoyed our 4th of July at the park enjoying KFC! We met up with Joey's brothers and sister to enjoy the afternoon at the park! We had the best weather ever and it was a lot of fun! Joey learned how to play tennis, played kickball, and rode his scooter around the park as well! It was a blast had by all!
