Trippin it Up!

Everyone loves a good trip every once in awhile!  Well, in the middle of February, I got to travel down to Saint George to watch Jake's little brother, Conner, play in a baseball tournament.  Although, Utah will be Utah and it rained and snowed that whole weekend, and his games got cancelled.  BUT you can't cancel FUN! :)  It had been around 8 months since I have seen Conner and his mom Conni! That is way to long.  We had a ton to catch up on and I got to watch Conner flirt with some girls!!! Priceless. It made for such a good trip and a long overdue visit with soon to be family ;)



He looks so much like Jake! 


What a cool stud! 

Love him! 

Family! 


My second trip came in March for SPRING BREAK BABY!  My friends and I decided we would head down to Vegas and watch our Men's Basketball team play in their conference tournament.  It was so much fun! Can you say SUN, SUN, SUN! Everyday consisted of laying by the pool!  It was a great time! I love my girlies and can't wait for another trip!!!

Apparently it is illegal to take pics in the casino.....well here is one for the scrap book:) 

Poooooool time!

Wedding Day!


Well, it has happened! My big brother is married! As much grief we give him for his silly dating antics, we are so pleased with his choice for an eternal companion in Carli Ann. This day was the longest day of my life, but certainly the most happiest day for me and my family. I am so thrilled that I was able to experience what I did that day. Love. Love that Adam and Carli share for each other, Love my family shares, and Love for our new family. As I was sitting at the luncheon and I saw all of my entire family and friends on one side of the room and then shifted my eyes to the other side of the room and saw all of Carli's family and friends, I felt like I was catching a glimpse of Heaven. Seeing all these people really showed me that we are ALL linked to one another, that our Heavenly Father's plan for us is real. I couldn't help but feel that this was what it was like to be reunited with all our family and friends after our journey on earth is finished.
I am truly grateful for my big brother and his example to me. He has made such good choices in his life and I am so proud of him. I am proud of my parents and their strong testimonies of the gospel and leading and directing us children in the right way. Without them, nothing would have been possible. I am so grateful for Carli and the wonderful strong woman she is. She is such a perfect match for my brother! I am so grateful that I was apart of such a beautiful wedding! And might I add, I got some great ideas for mine someday:)

Bruno B. Lowry


Bruno B. Lowry was born in June 1998, and came to our house in July. Bruno has been THE BEST dog anyone could ever ask for. With his loving and gentle personality, Bruno won over anyone who he saw:) With his loud and booming bark when someone rang the doorbell, you would think Bruno was the scariest dog you have ever seen or heard! But with one sniff of the pant leg, Bruno seemed to always just lay down for a belly rub. He would never harm a fly. He was my running partner, and always there to watch me play soccer. Bruno is part of our family, and I am sure many people already know that! We have been so blessed to have such a wonderful dog. He was my PUPPY!!! And anyone who knows me, I made that known with high pitched yelp..."Puuuuppppyyyyy!!" As he aged, he may have shown his age on the outside, but in his heart he was still a loving puppy! Bruno will be greatly missed in our family, and it is still really hard to come home and not hear the jingle of his collar, his bark at the door, and his anxious happy dance when I come home from school or just running errands! Bruno Lowry, I love you! We will see you again soon!!! Love you Bubbuh!!

Family


Can you think of anything better than being with your family for the holiday season? I say NOT!! Family is so important to me and I am so grateful that I have such a wonderful family. These past few weeks have been so great! We had the opportunity to have family over for Alex's Homecoming. It was so great to be able to be with family and it was really special for Alex who had not seen his uncles, aunts, cousins and Grandma in two years!

Then we had the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving in Indiana this year! It had been 10 years since we had seen members of my mom's side of the family! Now that is way too long!!! Everyone was so grown up and it was just so great to rekindle our love for one another. I have the most amazing family who love and care for one another!! I am grateful for every single one of them! Here are some pic of the Lowry and Jones family!
