Friends.

Turns out....I have the greatest friends in Chicago. A phrase you'll hear a lot in our singles branch (soon to be a ward), is we may not have quantity (we're working on that), but we do have QUALITY. How true that is! These friends would do anything for me- as I would for them. We are protective of each other and very supportive as we're continuing to make important life decisions. I am so thankful for the friends I have here. What would I do without each of them here...as Tiff Fortna would say...perish. enough said.

Ok everyone- turn up the volume as loud as it can go....I just want everyone in on a little secret...

my niece Sadie is the cutest thing ever and this video is proof of that.

Let me introduce to you....Sadie Marie Hornung....singing "Part of your world" from Little Mermaid.

BYU COUGARS

Since Reed is now a Cougar, we have been following BYU Football like TRUE, BLEEDING BLUE fans! I had the opportunity to go with my parents to the first game of the season...

BYU vs. Washington

Sept 4, 2010

Here's a couple shots of the game and Reed....

So proud of this kid!

Taking in the moment...

Dad and I were so excited!

There he is... Running out to warm up!

Dad snuck a shot in...

Proud parents.

We couldn't wait for the game to start!

Watching Reed warm up

Lookin' good Reed!

GO COUGARS GO!

Look at that long snapper! :)

Reed running to the sideline after a great snap!

WAY TO GO 96!

What a great game!

So proud of my brother!

Reed got asked for tons of autographs- it was so cute to watch how he interacted with the little kids and the older kids/parents that would ask him.

Off to party with the family after a great win!

Memorial Weekend at home...

Love long weekends where I'm able to go home to spend time with the people I love the most!

Hope you enjoy the overdue pictures from the fun weekend!

Sadie and I laughing together after bath time!

We had fun sprinkler time in the sun!

Sadie telling us that she runs up to the sprinkler from far far away.

playing with the sprinkler

Look at this cute face!

This was hilarious. My mom took Sadie into the house and they came back outside with these shoes on Sadie. Sadie proceeded to tell us that these shoes were "Abby's when she was a little girl, and they fit me just right!" She loves these shoes!

Sadie telling Gam all the things she did that day and reading books.

Little Crew continues to be the best baby ever! Love him!

Notice that Sadie is now in her clothes.....shoes are still on.

Sadie now in her pj's....shoes still on.

We went to the lake one day while I was home- the water was cold, but that didn't stop Sadie!

Sadie and Me sitting together eating watermelon. We love it!

We were able to celebrate Adam's birthday a couple days early since I was home for the weekend. One of Sadie's favorite treats is Dilly Bars- So everyone got a dilly bar as we sang Happy Birthday to Adam- 30 YEARS OLD! YIKES!

It's always so hard to leave....I love my family more than anything!

How can I say goodbye to little Crew??

This is what I drove away from the house seeing....I love this sight but hate it at the same time because it means I'm leaving. SAD. I always have such a great time when I'm home, it's always so hard to leave. I am really blessed to have the close family relationships that I have.
