Familes are Forever

Hooray for sister pictures!  The first ones in seven years.

It was so nice to hang out with Trina after so long.

 

The reason we went to Oregon in the first place,

to be there when Emily married Aaron Murphy.

 

 One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip,

my amazing mother.

 My three awesome brothers.

 

 Palmer family photo.  The first time in seven years that the ten of us were together.

Since 2006 we've added 10 grandchildren and three spouses.

We're all looking forward to next year when everyone can be together in Nauvoo.

 

Aria had a fun time at Emily's wedding reception.

Chatting it up with her closest cousin (in age and location),

and dancing with Uncle Nathan.

 All the nieces and nephews in attendance -

Allie, Aria, Henry, Josie, Kate, Stevie and Joshua.

 

No trip is complete without some piano duets.

  

We got to celebrate three birthdays at once!

Aria turned one on the 30th, Allie turned six on the 21st,

and I turned 30 on the 25th. 

Bonus that we got to use leftover wedding cake.

We went to Lincoln City for Aria's first trip to the beach,

the day before her first birthday.  She ate sand.
