One More Day, But Who's Counting???

Since our computer has been down, this letter from Rees is a little late, but amazing as usual!!! Tomorrow is Christmas, and I must say that I am more excited to talk to Rees than open presents!!! So here is his letter from Monday!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hey Fam!
How´s things back home this holiday season? Is it cold there? Just like two days ago, it got really cold here. It has been a bit harder to get up in the mornings too. The gas to turn on the heater to heat the water is like frozen every morining so it takes like 15 minutes just to get the thing going. But it´s much more enjoyable than the heat, so I´m not complaining. The work picked up quite a bit this week too. The Lord always knows when we need a little boost from him. I sure hope I still see miracles like these after the mission. I never understood before how much the Lord really loves us. He just wants to drown us with blessings, we just have to do the little he asks of us. We´re all pretty excited here this week. I´m excited to talk to you all. I think I´ll call between like 12 and 2. Tell the Kings to be there so I can say hi to them ( if they´re not in california). So ya, the 24th is the big day here to celebrate so this cool family invited us to go eat dinner with them and then on friday we´re gonna eat with this other family that lived in California for a long time. They´ll be sure to hook us up with some good food. And christmas morning we´re gonna go as a zone to an old folks home here in our zone and sing and play games and give them some little gifts for a couple hours. It should be fun. I cant tell you all how much I love you and appreciate you. It´s so amazing being able to be here for christmas. I cant believe its already the last one. I better get to work so I dont lose any more of the time I got left. I love you guys. Tell everyone I wish them a merry christmas. Granny and Laura, thanks a ton for the money. It´s definitely what a missionary needs most. = ) I appreciate the love and support. Love, Rees P.S. Thanks for the package mom and dad.

Thankful!!!

I just need to say how thankful I am for a missionary who teaches me something each week. I am so amazed at his wisdom and I am so thankful that he has the Holy Ghost with him to teach him!! Thank you for writing him and supporting him. It is so great to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!!!!!
Love to everyone!!!!!

Merry Christmas from Mexico!!!

Glad to hear all is going well at home. I thought of you guys lots this week when we went to the temple. I remember the first time I went through and I looked over and dad was snoozin! haha I always struggle to stay awake too. = ) But it was a great experience, (since we only get to go through once a year). The work has been a bit tuff lately. Never been happier though. The Lord always blesses us with miracles when we most need them. "...and let your diligence, and your perseverance, and patience, and your works be redoubled and you shall in nowise lose your reward." (D&C 127:4) This week we plan to do much more and the Lord will be sure to answer. I love you guys and appreciate all your support. Already got the christmas package. You´ll still have time to send another one now! ; ) No jk. Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate it. Love you guys and tell everyone I say hi and merry christmas. Love, Rees

What is really important???

hey fam,
How´s things? Sounds like everyone is keepin busy. Are the kids out of school yet? I think the kids here get out next week. We had a good week this week. I got my new comp Elder Magdaleno. We get along great. By buddy Elder Wright trained him so I knew him a little bit already. This week should be good. Tomorrow we go to the city to stay the night because on Wednesday we have our zone conference. Each christmas we get to go to a session in the temple so that will be awesome. We´re super excited. We had another zone leaders counsel this week and President´s wife stuffed us with food. Some pizza, country fried steak, mashed taters and gravy... it was delicious. And after the session this week we´re gonna eat some nice steaks in the temple cafeteria. It´s kinda weird, after almost 18 months in the mission, I´m finally learning what the key is to missionary work is.... There is a talk by elder holland that he gave in the MTC in like June of this year, "The Divine Companionship". Try checking it out on line. One of the hardest things, is having the Spirit all the time, but if we can learn how to have it all the time, wow is life much better. It´s such a blessing to have the Holy Ghost as our companion. There is so much power in fasting and prayer. The Lord always answers, but in his own time and his own way. There is power in making covenants and being obedient. Each day it´s a battle against Satan, but winning brings us so many blessings. Dont ever forget what´s really important. I love you all and appreciate all you do. Say hi to everyone. Love, Rees

Molango

Hey Fam,
Things are going good here. Just busy like always. My comp has changes tomorrow so that´ll be exciting. Hope they give me another gringo so I can keep practicing my english though. = ) We had an amazing experience this week. On Saturday we went out to this place called Molango. It´s a little city in the middle of the mountains. Just in the middle of nowhere. This guy Jared from the high councel that just got back from his mission a year ago took us. It was a 3 hour drive it was beautiful. O how I wish you all could have seen this place. Try lookin it up online. We found this girl who hadnt been baptized yet so we took her down to the lake below this city and baptized her there. I´ll be sending the pictures in a mintute. It was just amazing. After beeing in Mexico City for over a year, it was just mind blowing to see such a beautiful place out where there are trees and forest and lake. Man it was an great day. Besides that all went normal this week. O, yesterday I got to eat some buffalo wings and they were amazing! = ) There is no greater joy than sharing the gospel. Thanks for all the love and support. I love you all and appreciate all you do. Tell everyone I say hi and merry christmas. Love, Rees

No Turkey Bowl!!!!

Hey Fam,
I am a bit bummed that I´m not gonna be there for Turkey Bowl this year. Today we had our zone activity and it was our Turkey Bowl, but we had to play soccer because no one here plays football. But it was fun. The work is going great. We had Elder Johnson here with us this week in our zone conferences and it was great. He really taught us how to improve on having the spirit and recognizing it. The elect recgnize HIS voice (D&C 29:7). If we have the spirit with us and we just talk to people, the elect ones will recognize that it is the voice of the Savior and will accept us. It really make you think about how you can have the spirit more. Even the little things sometimes distract us and get us off track. Satan really work against us. I have never seen so many blessings and miracles in my life, but never seen the works of the adversary so present and frequent either. He knows the change this message will make in peoples lives and he does all he can to stop it. But the Lord will win the end. Sometimes we spend all day in the sun and feel like we cant find anyone, but when we go into a house and see that the Lord has prepared the people, it really makes it all worth it. I hope you all can work on making the work for the missionaries there a bit easier by sharing the Gospel with someone. The Lord uses the members and many other ways to prepare the hearts of his children. There isnt anything better than being a part in that preperation. The Lord will bless you immensly (is that a word?). I love you all and hope your all doing great. I´m sure I´ll get the package if you send it this week mom. Thanks for takin care of me. Love you tons. Love, Rees

My Favorite Veteran!!!

I am so thankful for the men and women who have served our country and who are still serving. I am especially thankful for my amazing son who served in the Army for three years and spent half of that time in Iraq!!! I am one proud mother!!!!!

The Best Meal in Mexico City!!!!!

Hiking!!!!




Chili's with President Bulloch, love the ribs!!!!



Hey Fam!
How´s things? Sounds like O´Connor is doing great. That must be exciting. Things here are good. We had a good week. Work like always. On Wednesday we went with President Bulloch and his wife to check the houses of the missionaries in the zone and then after we went out for a little lunch. Can you baby back ribs? Yeah, he took us to Chili´s! We were just blown away. It had been forever since I had eaten food like that. I´m sure I´ll miss a few things from here after the mission, but man our food is so delicious! We were just in heaven. I´ll be sending the pictures in a second. And then on Sunday we had some amazing baptisms. Floro Sanchez, the dad of that wife and kids we baptized a couple weeks ago, and then this kid Rafa and Irvin. Rafa is 20 and Irvin is 15. It was an amazing baptism. Rafa and his family and been getting super trashed by all their uncles and cousins and neighbors, but his mom told us that if there are so many challanges than it must be true. I learned a lot from them this week. They were just a huge example to me of what our attitude should be when the going gets tough. Rafa was actually thinking about getting married to his girlfriend, but then she told him that she would dump him if he got baptized... but he didnt care. He´s got one of the biggest testimonies I´ve seen in a convert and already wants to go on a mission. The things the Lord blesses us with are truly amazing. All the work is so worth it. To see the way the Gospel changes lives, there is no better joy. I love you guys and hope all is well. Let me know if you ever want anything cool from Mexico. : ) Love, Rees P.S. Mom, thanks for the package, I made my own candy droor like we used to have at home! The other missionaries raid it like my friends used to do. Love you.

Tarzan and Jane!!!

Pachuca Rocks!!!!

Hey Fam,
What a week! Sounds like everyone is stayin busy at home. That´s awesome that O´Connor is doing good. It´s about time dont ya think??? We had a great week this week. I had changes. I am now in the city of Pachuca in the state of Hidalgo. It is a huge change from where I was. My whole time here I´ve been in pure city, and now I´m out in a smaller town. It´s super chill here tho so that´s cool. I have never seen so many rich and so many poor people in my life. Like half our area is full of rich people (we dont have much success there), and the other have is just dirt poor people (where we have quite a bit more success). We baptized this family this week, they have 6 kids and live in just a little brick room with one mattress. I have never seen anything like it before, but they are so humble out there and that makes them super receptive to the Gospel. It always reminds me of Alma 32. But this area is awesome. It´s known for not baptizing a lot but I´m sure we can change that. The members are amazing. It´s almost like being in a ward back home, with old members who know a lot and a lady who plays the piano (this is the first time I´ve been in a ward with someone who plays the hymns). It´s a great experience. And the food out here is amazing too! The members are a bit more wealthy so we´ve been eating burgers and pizza and this one lady makes a mean lasagna! So far things are going great. Today we went up to this huge Christ statue that was pretty cool. It´s supposedly the second biggest one in the world. I´ll attach a few pictures in a minute. Well that´s about it. Hope you guys know I love and appreciate all your support. Thanks everyone for writin a bunch and keepin me in the loop. Love, Rees P.S. To look up our area, just look up the Christ statue or the soccer stadium of the Pachuca soccer team. It´s kinda near those.

Hiking!!!!

Everyone who knows me, knows that hiking isn't one of my favorite things to do in life, but I must tell you that I had an awesome time hiking at Squaw Peak. Thank you to the other patient, experienced hikers for encouraging me!!!!

Change!!!

Hey Fam!
Sounds like all is super good at home. Things are great here too. We had a couple more baptisms this week so I´ll be sure to send pictures. Tuesday are changes and like I thought, its finally time to change. I cant believe how long they left me here. The members started jokin that I should buy a small piece of land and build a house!= ) That´s about all the exciting the news, changes. Everything else is going normal, just work like always. Me and my comp get along great so it´s kinda a bummer to get changed after only one cycle with him. It´s truly been an amazing experience to be here in Mexico. I cant believe how fast time is flying. The people are amazing and the food is even better! JK. Everything is great. Sorry this is so short but not too much going on. Love you guys a ton.
Love, Rees

Life is Great!!!!!!

This has been an amazing few weeks in my life. I was having promptings about Bart's calling in the stake presidency, but not sure whether I should express them to him!! When I finally did, we talked about that we were inadequate(you know who puts those ideas in your head)!! I was reminded of a scripture that tells us that we are given weaknesses to make us humble and stronger. Needless to say, I am humbled. Last Monday Rees e-mailed Bart and reminded him about the talk Bednar gave in conference about the many little strokes that make up the painting, and thanked Bart for making sure we did the little strokes, prayer, scripture, family home evening, etc. We then felt a little adequacy. I too am thankful that Bart is such a righteous Priesthood holder and great example in our home. Bart and I were able to go to the temple on Friday morning, what a beautiful place the temple is. A friend was outside waiting on a wedding party so she took our picture!!! I don't like pictures of myself, but I love this picture!! I am so thankful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints, I am thankful for a living prophet, President Monson, I am thankful for The Book of Mormon, and I am thankful for wonderful friends and an amazing family. Life is great!!!!!

Good Week!!!!

Hey Everyone,
How´s things? Sounds like a lot new is going on. You need to remind me where all those kids are goin on missions. I just remember Andrew is goin to Argentina right? Just remind me next week. Sounds like it was a good Sunday at church. That also should be exciting getting a new stak pres. Let me know how that goes. And dang, I wish I could have seen Sandra Day beat Boulder Creek. Sounds like it was a great game. So ya, things here are going great as well. This week we had 4 amazing baptisms. One had been waiting forever because the lady he was living with wasn´t divorced so they couldnt get married but we finally got all that taken care of and he was able to get baptized. The other was the wife of a convert from like 4 months ago, she didnt want anything to do with the church before, but he finally got her to just go one sunday and she read and prayed and couldnt neglect the feelings she felt. Something I have seen is that everyone has their time. Sometimes they reject us and then weeks, or even months later we find them again and they´re ready. Most the time people need some huge humbling experience to get them to listen. But those that listen and humble themselves alone, are soooo much more blessed by the Lord. The other lady we baptized too, had already heard the Gospel and didnt want anything, but then her son came from out of town to visit and told her he had been baptized and she loved the changes she saw in him and couldnt resist getting to know the Gospel. And the last guy was just a miracle. One day we didnt have much to do, so we decided to knock doors (yes we knock doors here), and we were just walking and saw this street and decided to knock it. And this guy answers and started to tell us how he had so many problems and he was waiting for us and we had got there just in time. One of the greatest joys in life is knowing you´ve been an instrument in the hands of the Lord to bring others to the truth. The Lord is never hesitant to bless us if we will just do our part. There is nothing that can stop the Gospel from progressing. It has to be true if a bunch of teenagers can keep it moving forward. I love you all and appreciate all your love. Tell everyone hi like always. Love, Rees

Conference Rocks!!!!

HEY FAM!
What a great weekend huh? This was the first time in my mission that I got to watch conference in english and I have to say that it was so much better! Every message was just amazing. Like you said mom, that message from Holland just blew my socks off. It is so true what he said about the Book of Mormon. It really does change people´s lives. A lot of people dont want to change or obey some commandments (which is normal) but when they read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, they cant help but have a burnign desire to do what´s right and join the church. It really is the best tool we have as missionaries. We have been so blessed in the past months to be able to find so many prepared people. I was reading the Ensign the other day the message about baptism. It says that 1 out of every 1000 doors that is knocked by missionaries gets baptized. But that 600 out of every 1000 references from members gets baptized. That is so true. President Hinckley told us years ago to duplicate the number of convert baptisms. I promise you that the only way to do it is through the members. I hope you all enjoyed conference as much as I did. I cant believe that I´ll only be here for one more! Time is flying and I´m sure it will only keep going faster. The work is amazing. I have been so blessed. Of course there are trials and difficulties, but one miracle overshadows those moments so much. We are so blessed and we have a great responsibility to share this Gospel. I love you all and appreciate all you do for me. Keep on writing and tell everyone I say hi. Love, Rees

By Small and Simple Things are Great Things Brought to Pass

Hey Fam,
We had a great week this week. Sounds like things at home are going great too. On Tuesday was the Noche Mexicana in the church and that was fun. We had to leave early because those parties here dont finish until like 2 in the morning. But the food was great so like dad always says, we just had to eat and run. = ) And then we had a zone leaders meeting the mission home on thursday until friday so that was fun too. The week went super fast and it gets harder and harder to keep track of time. We had 3 baptisms on sunday that were awesome. It is ridiculous to see how much Satan will do to keep people from getting baptized. But afterwards, it makes the feeling of being clean just that much better. Sometimes I take for granted being able to baptize each week and forget how special it is. But the Lord is always reminding us of his power and that we need to recognize his hand in all things. And like mom and Rhey, I too am feeling a bit sick. We wash our clothes with family in the ward, but they´ve got a cat, and I am super allergic to it and now I´m not feeling that great. I´m sure it will pass quick though. Each week I am reminded even more of the importance of the members in the missionary work. Without them it would be impossible. Always remember that our example can sometimes be the most effective tool. When the people see us, and recognize the difference, it really makes them think and want to know more. The Lord always has his way of preparing his children to hear the Gospel, and we never know when we will be a part of that. There is no greater joy than knowing you´ve been an instrument in the hands of the Lord. I know that the Lord needed me here, and that he has a plan for each and every one of us. Our job is to be obedient, so that we can experience all the blessings he´s got prepared for us, but if we dont do our part, we´ll never know of the blessings we´re missing out on. I love you all and appreciate all you do for me. Love, Rees P.S. By small and simple things are great things brought to pass

Viva Mexico!!!!!

Hey Guys,
I´m happy to hear all the good news. Sounds like all is great at home. All is great here too. On Tuesday I got my new comp, Elder Valdez. We knew eachother in the first zone I was in so it was exciting to get put with him. We´ve just been workin like crazy this week. He´s a very hard worker so thats good. That will keep us having the success we´ve already had. I´m pretty bummed though because next cycle I´ll be having changes. I´ve already been in this area over 6 months so its a sure thing that they´ll send me somewhere else. But its ok. I´ve always liked change and it´s a great opportunity to change and improve. But for the moment I´m enjoying every minute of my time here in Los Reyes. This zone is the best. I´ve been so blessed to be here sush a long time and to be able to see so many miracles. So ya, that´s about it for now. Not too much goin on. OH! I dont know if you guys know but the 16th of September is independence day in Mexico and on the 15th they throw the biggest parties ever! So tomorrow in our ward the party is gonna be a blast. They rented a bunch of moon bounces for the kids and a mechanical bull!!! I am definitely looking forward to it. I´ll be sure to take plenty of pictures. = ) I love you all and pray for you always. Sorry there isnt much news this week. Thanks for all the love and support. Love, Rees P.S. ¡¡¡VIVA MÉXICO!!!

Count Your Blessings!!!

Hey Fam,
I cant tell you how great it is to hear from everyone and hear that all is well. Sounds like football season will be much more enjoyable this season! Tell Robert congradulations for me. Things here are great as usual. My companion went home on Thursday so I´ve been movin around working with different elders in the zone. It´s been a nice little change and I´ve really enjoyed it. We had 4 more baptisms this week and it was another amazing experience. A little over a month ago, we were walkin in the street and a white VW bug stops in front of us and a lady rolls down the window and says, "my dad is a member and lives in the U.S., he told me I should talk to you guys when I see you". So we went to her house and taught her and her kids and last week her and her daughter got baptized, and this week her 2 cousins and their 2 kids got baptized too. Sometimes we think miracles are crazy out of the ordinary things but its really not like that at all. When people let us into their houses, read the Book of Mormon, pray about it, go to church, or talk to us in the street, those are the miracles the Lord blesses us with each day. It has been so amazing to be able to witness so many miracles and be a part of this amazing work. The Lord has blessed us so much here and is truly preparing people every day to hear the Gospel. Like I´ve said before, I´ve learned that the majority of the elect that the Lord is preparing are friends or family of church members. I can´t even tell you all how much joy it brings to share the Gospel and be an instrument in the Lord´s hands. Dont ever be afraid to open your mouth. The worst feeling is letting an opportunity pass by and regreting it later. Dont let that happen. Make it a habit to share our beliefs with others. If we´re truly LIVING the Gospel, others will have already seen a difference in us, and want to know more. I know this the work of the Lord. It has to be if a bunch of teenagers can keep it moving forward like it is. I love you all and appreciate all your support. Always remember to count your blessing, we are so blessed. Love, Rees

Are You a Member Missionary????

Whats goin on fam?!?!?!
Sounds like all is great. I would have loved to see Vick in an Eagles jersey. I know your probably already doing Christmas shopping mom so just remember that Vick jersey is on my list. = ) Things are goin great here. Just the normal rutine. It is unbelievable how the Lord helps us when we do our part. This week we had 9 baptisms and it was an amazing experience. The Lord is just preparing people every day to hear the missionaries. Sometimes it gets frustrating finding them but if we´re diligent, the Lord alwas puts them into our path. Something I didnt know before the mission is that the members should and can be a huge part of the missionary work. It´s amazing to see the success we can have when the members are excited and doing their part. Something they told us in the MTC is that the majority of the elect are friends or family of members. I have gained a strong testimony of that. When friends/family of church members are baptized, they automatically have 2 of the 3 things the President Hinckley said that each convert needs... a friend and to be nurished by the good word (not sure if thats how you say it in English). It is so much more likely that those converts will stay active in the church and persevere(?) to the end. I love you guys and appreciate all you do. I´ll try to send some pics in a bit. Tell everyone hi and I love them and to keep writing me if they have time.
Love, Rees

Count Your Blessings!!!

HEY!!!!
How´s everyone doin? Sounds like things are pretty exciting with football season starting. I actually miss that a lot. But there will be plenty of time for that later. I cant believe Favre is in Minnesota. And dad told me the Eagles picked up Vick! Another elder I know here is a huge Eagles fan too so I told him and he´s pretty stoked for that. We´ll see how that goes. So ya, things here are great. We had 3 baptisms yesterday and it was awesome. This awesome couple we found a while ago finally got baptized. I have been thinking nonstop this week about how blessed we are. The trials we go through are really nothing compared to the things other people go through. I think the Lord blessed us with living where we do because he knows we wouldnt be able to make it through such hard things. Sometimes it just overwhelms (?) me. So this is my comps last full week in the mission. Next friday he goes home. It´s pretty exciting but also hard to keep the balance between work and home. But things are going great. The zone is doing good and I´m just having a blast. Today in the morning we went and played soccer with some other elders in the zone. It´s nice to get some aggression out that builds up in the week. = ) So ya, that´s about it. Things are great. We´re the most blessed people in the world. The Lord will never leave us if we´re obedient and diligent. That´s something I have seen all through my mission. Count your blessing and keep me updated on everything. Love you guys so much and appreciate you more than you know. Tell everyone I say hi. Love, Rees

Pride!!!

Whats goin on fam?
Sounds like all is well with vacations to the beach house and trips to india. The keyboard Im using is horrible so I`ll have to make this a little shorter than normal. Things are going great here. Like always, work work work. We have been so so blessed in this area. The Lord always prepares people and puts them into our path so they can come unto him and enter in the waters of baptism. Something I have learned from experience and something I will be sure never to forget is to be grateful for all we have. The Book of Mormon teaches continually about pride and selfishness. After a time of prospering, we let pride enter into our hearts, and then we get humbled big time, and then we repent again and we start to prosper. It just a cycle we seem to always go through. One of the hardest things when we´re having success is that, always recognizing the hand of the Lord and doing things for the right reasons and with a pure heart. The Lord is never hesitant to bless us and ALWAYS keeps his promises. We just have to do our part and he will always be sure to make us prosper. I hope you guys know how much I love you and appreciate you. Tell everyone I appreciate their letters so much and I love hearing from them. Thanks for everything. Love, Rees
Hey Fam,
Thanks for all the awesome emails and keeping me updated on all the news. Things are going great here. As usual, work work work. This week we had our zone conference and it went good. We have to train in the zone conferences and this one was one of the best we´ve done. Then after the conference President interviews everyone, and about half way through the interviews he had a kidney stone attack. His wife called me and my comp in and we gave him and blessing and they left for the hospital. It was pretty intense seeing him in so much pain. I told him as he was getting into his car that I had heard that kidney stones are more painful than giving birth and he just laughed and said "O I believe it Elder". So then on Saturday we had the Visitors Center come to our zone. The church they had it in isn´t in an area where there are much people, so me and Elder Wright (from my district in the MTC) went to the gas station on the corner and invited everyone that pulled in. Because the young men were gonna wash cars free to get people to go into the church. Overall we had a great time. So ya, that´s about it. Hope you all know how much I love you. Tell everyone I say hi. Love hearing from you guys. Love, Rees

My Amazing Missionary!!!

Que Onda?
We had a great week this week. I actually dont even remember what we did because time is just going to fast. Its impossible to keep track of time now... On friday we went to the youth conference of all the stakes in our mission for the missionary activity. The youth had to teach inactive families and help them with their problems and then we evaluated them and told them what to do better. It was pretty fun. But the best part was seeing converts from my first area there participating. I always pray that they´ll stay firm in the church and continue progressing but you never really know. So it was amazing to see some of them there and know that they´re still active and doing great. Besides that, not much going on. Just work as usual. Me and my companion dont have changes this cylce so we´ll be together another 6 weeks. He finishes his mission this cycle so we´ll see how things go. We have found some of the most amazing people in these past couple weeks. On saturday we took them to the visistors center in the temple and they loved it. All of them left talking about getting baptized and cealed(?) in the temple. Every week I am just blown away by the power of faith and repentance and obedience to the commandments. It is something I have never experienced befor, seeing the HUGE changes that people make, and the power our Heavenly Father gives them to quit smoking or drinking or any other thing. There is nothing better than seeing those things, those miracles that the Lord blesses us with EVERY day. I cant even put in words how grateful I am for this time here and the experiences I´ve had and all I´ve learned. I love you all and thank you soooo much for all the love and support you give me. I look forward each week to hear how everyone is. O and mom I´m good on clothes and stuff for now but I´ll be sure to let you know if I need anything. The other day I bought socks (12 pairs) for 9 pesos a pair (you can imagine how much that is in dollars). I love cheap things in Mexico! = ) Love you guys and tell everyone I say hi!
Love, Rees

Vaca at the Beach!!!

Wahoo!!! We went to my sister's beach house for a week and a half!! We had a blast!!
Thank you Tammy and Andy for letting us crash your party!!
