alright last but not least, the past few days we have been over in longview washington (4 hours west of royal) at the rodeback family reunion. we ate lots, visited with everybody, swam a ton, and did a few other random things. elaine taught me how to cook home made doughnuts and i helped prepare about a million of them for everyone's late night snack on friday. Someone also came up with the idea to do tye dye shirts for the family picture so we each made our own and they turned out pretty nice for our first try. We spent saturday afternoon and evening on the beach and got to take some pretty awesome family pictures there. However, my tye dye shirt makes me look absolutly massive! but for our first "family pictures" since the wedding, i wont complain :)

i have had some requests for a picture of my tummy :) this one is from vegas, i am roughly 31 weeks along in this picture. enjoy

wow the last few weeks have been crazy. i think thomas and i will be home for awhile now finally. we were down in vegas two weeks ago for my cousin brandon's farewell. also my wonderful aunts threw me a baby shower while we were all there together. thomas and i flew down saturday night and back on monday night, it was a very fast trip and very very hot. here are a few pictures from the family get-together.
