TWO FAMILY REUNIONS!!

We had TWO awesome family reunions this past summer back to back! LAKE MICHIGAN one week with my fam and LAKE TAHOE the next week with Mark's fam. Mark took the second block of summer session off at UVU to be able to hit both the trips, so it was so fun having him home for a month and being able to get some quality family time in. I know it's been a while since we've posted... I'm just not too good at the blog thing! I mean come on I don't even have a background! WHO ELSE HAS A WHITE BACKGROUND ON THEIR BLOG??!! This summer was so much fun for us! And Mark is finally DONE studying for the LSAT (which he took yesterday!) Now we start the application process for law schools, cruise through this school year, Mark graduates in April, HAVE A BABY THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY, and probably move across the country by August!! Wow this year will be fun! There's the lowdown.... and yep I'm pregnant again :-) Nora and the new baby will be 19 months apart and hopefully... the BEST OF FRIENDS!! haha! We are having a birthday party for Nora today with mine and Mark's families so hopefully I'll post some of those pics later this week. Nora is so much fun! We really love her, and everyday I am so grateful that Heavenly Father is sending us his children. Family is so important, so thanks for such fun trips this summer!! THANKS to Brian, Nat, Bob and Diane for making Tahoe possible and THANK YOU Mom for making Michigan possible! We love you!
Grandma reading to all the babies!I have no idea what she is about to eat here! I guess I should have taken it away instead of taking a picture :-)
all the fabulous Evans girls!!
Lisa designed our family reunion shirts! watch out she's gonna have her own clothing line someday.
Nora's favorite aunts and uncles, probably because they speak her language right now :-)
the whole clan!! minus steve on his mission and Mandie and Craig's baby is still in the oven.
Bob, Diane and all the happy grandkids! (we have this same shot with my mom and her "happy" grandkids too)

the stellar guys...
and of course super cute girls!

Here's Michigan...
and there's some of the happy grandkids! :-)
