Kindred Family Reunion

I am hoping to add more pics later of this trip. We got together with the Jerry and Cindy's kids at our cabin. I haven't seen my cousins in over 20 years. It was so fun to see everyone. I loved seeing the traits that were passed down to all of us. I love that I have a family I can be so proud of. They are all such good people. I couldn't help but miss my uncle Jerry. I know he was happy we all got together. It's been way too long!

My Dad and Jimmy have been talking about going fly fishing for years. This year For father's day we prepaid for a fly fishing trip to be taken during the "kindred family reunion." Darin and Jimmy had as much fun as my dad...

This was a frequent scene on our 21 person bike ride in the mountains during our reunion! It wasn't fast, but it was definitely fun!

My Favorite Way to Spend a Summer Day

It doesn't get better than this. 4 adults and 11 kids=lots of dirty looks on the trails. We try to be friendly, but there are a lot of us. No one else I would rather spend the day with...

My Mama

My name is Paris and yesterday was my mom's birthday. So, for her birthday, I decided to hijack her blog. My mom is the most Christlike person i know. She is selfless and she is always thinking of others! She always eats healthy and makes sure her kids do the same.(: She is ALWAYS very positive and looks on bright side. This quality makes her so much fun to be around and draws so many people to her! I am so lucky to have her as a mother and I honestly don't deserve her. She is the best mom in the world. She has such a strong testimony and is always trying to be better. Good is NEVER good enough.(: My mom is truly the most amazing person I have ever met, and she is always so happy. I love my mom so much! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

4th of July

We spent the fourth of July with friends and family at our cabin in the mountains!

John and Shauna joined us after a couple of days for firework fun and some hiking... Shauna was a trooper seeing as she had just given birth a few weeks earlier!

The Jenson's baptized Abigail at our ward in Silverthorne. She hosted a beautiful luncheon afterward. The kids all had a blast!

We rented canoes and paddle boats at lake keystone...

We watched the fireworks in Copper Mountain a day before the fourth, so we could enjoy the sabbath day without the crowds. They had a pretty amazing fire show. I couldn't get close enough to take any great pictures. It was a magical memory!

We went on a hike and then to keystone for some fun kid festivities including a magic show!

Gillespie Family with their newest adorable addition, baby Jane!
