Grand Junction

Last week we headed out to Grand Junction to celebrate my niece Brittanie's graduation.

Here is part of the clan waiting in the stand for the procession to begin.

L-R, My Dad, Derek, Hailey & Abbey

Me & my sis Melanie
The one in front is my niece. She was so awesome! She was their student body president, and practically conducted the graduation ceremony. She is such an awesome lady, and a great role model for her sibs & cousins!
After the ceremony - Melanie, Britt & Bill posing for pictures

Me & Britt - She is awesome!

Thursday all the ladies went to get pedicures. I hit up some shopping before hand w/ Brittanie & scored a couple cute maternity tops & some shorts. Hooray for clothes that fit my growing figure!

Here is abbey & hailey. They did a mini mani/pedi. They had such a fun time!
Here are more of the ladies - Britt, my mom, and Brittanie's grandma
Here I am getting the treatment! I look huge in this picture.... someone must have used a bad lens on the photo!
Britt & I - matching in our purples :)
Hailey, Derek & Abbey spent the most part of every day outside jumping on the trampoline, or playing Pioneers & Indians. They had so much fun.



Friday: Brittanie's graduation BBQ. Britt & two of her close friends had their graduation parties all together at a nearby park. There was a ton of food, music & people.
Dave manned the BBQ (which was supposed to be Bill's job)
.... bill... Now you can see why Dave had to take over grilling. I think Bill ate like 4 or 5 burgers.
Derek got hooked up by his adopted "grandma" (The cousins other grandma). He loves push-up pops!~
Hailey was thrilled with all the food & treats at the bbq. (Can you see it all over her shirt) :)
The Father-daughter pair.

We had a blast - as always - in GJ. I didn't have any pictures of it, but Dave & Bill went riding dirt bikes on Friday morning, and Dave wrecked. He thinks he cracked a rib. He's bruised all over the place, and can't breath too good. Not a good sign :( But it was great to see my family, play games, eat, relax, bbq, shop etc. I love getting together w/ my family & wished they all lived closer!
