Summer to Remember

13 years in the making!


It is finally here! Nick finished his OB-GYN Residency in Fresno. This was the night of his graduation ceremony at the Country Club. The next night, there was a really nice graduation dinner. Mark, Ginger, Dane and Holly Weibell, Richard and Linda Radmacher were there to celebrate with us but sad to say those pictures have temporarily gone missing. Thank you for your love and support.

The Graduating Residents.
We are so proud of our daddy!!!


After Graduation things got busy... we started off with a trip to the beach and headed to Utah.
Hiking in Utah with the cousins (Alec, Tucker-cousin, Landon and Matthew)



Our Trip to Nauvoo

On the steps of the Nauvoo Temple.

Our first stop was Martin's Cove- Lyman, WY.

We all pulled handcarts over a MEGA long trail (that nobody told me about). It sufficiently cured all the wiggles out of the boys for the next leg of the journey. Our Nauvoo caravan consistied of Mark, Ginger and Dane Weibell, Christian, Trista, Taylor, Tucker and Daivd Weibell.


With all these boys we had to stop at Fort Cody- NE. to buy lots of guns, arrows, knives, etc.

Our first day in Nauvoo. Getting signed up and feeling a little nervous.

Dripping sweat but lookin' good in our pioneer get up.

Me and Ginger (it took us 2 hours to do this hair doo the first week and only 2 min the 2nd week).

Nick and Dane

Noah and Alec with Parley P. Pratt

Our boys with Hyrum and Joseph Smith. They were so inspirational to us both on and off the stage. They really made a big impression on the boys.

Mark and Ginger on a carriage ride through old Nauvoo.

Boys and cousins in front of the Mississippi River.

On our trip home we made a few other stops.
To sum up our Nauvoo experience it was a little tiring, a little hot/sweaty, a little out of our comfort zone but it was a LOT of fun, family bonding, testimony building experiences!


Our Trip to Hawaii

I think that is so cool you have five boys! They are all so good looking:) My dad told me you guys were moving to Utah. We are in Fresno doing residency but I know Utah is going to be a tempting option for my hubby as much as he says we are going to stay in fresno when he is done! I don't know if I can go back to the snow.
