Hatch Family Reunion

This reunion was short lived for me since I got the stomach bug that my niece and nephew had prior to the reunion. Evan's two kids ended up in the hospital because they were so dehydrated from throwing up all day long. Mom, JaNeece, and I took care of them while the boys were hiking in Zions (pictures to come later). The guys had a great time! The gals...not so much. I was able to go to the reunion at Springhaven Lodge one day. Here are my two lovely cousins closest in age to me: Katie and Rebekah. I love these girls! The reunion theme was "Power to Do" taken from the scripture in Mosiah. We all had a great time together making memories.

25 Weeks

Our baby boy is growing more now, and I only have 15 weeks left! Wohoo! This pregnancy has gone by very smoothly. This past week, the doctor took a look at everything and says the baby is doing great! I hope to keep it that way. He is moving all over the place too. Kimball has been able to feel his movements. We just sit, look at my tummy, and laugh because the kicks are so rambunctious.

Pregnancy + Summer = Hot
So what do I do? I bake and use my hot oven in my hot house! ha ha! This is a picture of my latest culinary treat. I learned this tasty bread recipe at YW night and decided to try cinnamon rolls. They were delicious! I will work on my form next time around, but all that really matters is that it tastes good, right? :)

Manti trip

This is kind of blurry, but this is us in front of the Manti Temple at the Mormon Miracle Pageant. We had a great trip to Manti where we attended the temple, ate at the famous BBQ turkey pageant dinner, took in a quilt show, and sat in the freezing cold weather for the pageant!

20 Weeks and a BOY!

We found out today that junior is indeed a boy! We are both so excited and even acquired a baby BYU sweatshirt in honor of today. You've got to train them early, right? The ultrasound looked beautiful and junior is measuring exactly right on for my due date on October 19th.

Holt Family Reunion

The Holt Reunion was a blast! The Holts are incredible people. Everyone is so kind, fun, and strong in the gospel. This is Kimball with his parents and siblings.

Four of the six brothers. I am glad I married one of them!

Washington D.C.

Ford Theater where Lincoln was shot

The World War Memorial (built before WW II)

WW II memorial--my favorite

Joanna hung out with us while we walked around to the various monuments

Blake and Heather at Mt. Vernon--George Washington's estate

Kimball and I were excited to go back to D.C. after spending a couple days there last summer. We loved it. Going to Mt. Vernon and touring the grounds and mansion house was a real treat.

Gettybsurg, PA

Our fun nephew, Adam, tagged along with us on our drive to Gettysburg. It was so funny. We were driving right behind his family. At a stoplight, Adam jumped out and ran to our car. He said, "my brothers are being mean to me. Can I ride with you guys?" :)

The site of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg was probably my favorite activity of the trip. This famous civil war battle seemed like the turning point for the Union to be able to win.
