CAMPING!! and CONGRATS

So about 1/2 hour to an hour after my sister and her husband left, we had more visitors show up. Mark's aunt and uncle stopped by and hung out with us for a bit before we all left to go camping. I packed (hadn't done that yet) and got ready to leave. Mark's parents and two brothers also showed up. We had lunch at our house for everyone and had a fun time. We got to show off our house. We then went up to the Buffalo River Campground to camp. It was a beautiful site that we had, right next to the river. We stayed there for a couple of days on the weekend. Mark's aunt and uncle were really nice and let me have a shower before heading off to church. We missed the block of church, we had the wrong time. So since Mark's uncle is a bishop and his dad is a stake president, they felt it was appropriate to have our sacrament meeting as a family. We had the whole thing with a couple of testimonies. It was really nice.
Lissie and Brigham were a little zonked from the few nights earlier of partying. This is what happened on our drive to church.

Later that afternoon we ate and relaxed and had supper before we went home. These are the Martins (minus Mark's bro D. Martin). I guess it would be more acurate to say the grandkids named after mark's dad with him.

We went back home for a few days because Mark had to work and didn't have enough vacation. It was nice to camp but it is a little more difficult with a little baby. We did sleep in a tent trailer the one night. The end of the week we slept in a tent. We passed the days by going to a baseball game for Mark's work party and we went to the movies and Mark's bros family came and spent the day with us. We went back up Thursday night. We had a blast with all of mark's family that were there, and were sad we missed a couple of them. Danny and Haley were awesome and took the kids swimming in the little river. Mark's cousin also helped out with the kids. They did this so Mark was able to go white water rafting with his other Brother.

We had a fun time and it was great to have lots of entertainment for the kids to do. They absolutely loved it and were sad when we had to come home.
This is a picture of Taylor on the way home.

We had a great time and we got back just in time to see one of our good friends from before we moved. She stopped by and we later got to see her cute little boy. (julie and Logan). Fun times.

Also, We found out that weekend that my brother is getting married. Congrats Jamie and Michelle. We are so excited for you guys. Sorry its taken a bit to get this posted. We can't wait to meet Michelle. They get married in December. Great month to get married! :) I'd post a picture here but I don't have any of you two.
