Last weekend with Brock

This weekend My family and went to the valley for our last vacation with Brock. We went to movies and had Thanksgiving at my aunt Margie's house! It was sooo good and I got to see all of my cousins on my dad's side of the family. :) We went to a light parade the day after Thanksgiving and then went to the Temple to look at all of the Christmas lights too. It was so cool to see all of it! We were even able to go shopping! :) It was great to be able to spend time with my family all week and do all of those fun things. When we got home we took family pictures and then went to dinner with some of my cousin's and their families. Later that night Brock was ordained as an Elder!!! He's officially Elder Stratton :) I'm so proud of him. After that my family, and some of Brock's friends were over. That was his LAST night home for two whole years!!! I don't know how we're going to get used to him being gone... Especially Drake. It's going to be so wierd when he's gone... I know he will do good though!






Me Brock and Drake at the lights parade! It was awesome :)

Camping

A couple of weeks ago my family and I went camping up at the Blue because my mom had a deer tag!... and YES she got one! :) haha
My dad, Brock, Trek, and their friend Jeremy went on Thursday and Me, my mom and Drake went up friday. They weather was great! It was our last trip with Brock... We played football, watched movies, went hunting, and just sat around the camp fire. It was a lot of fun :)

Brock's Farewell

On Sunday, Brock had his farewell. I can't believe it's already here! He's leaving for the MTC tomorrow!!! :( We're all going to miss him so much. He does a lot for our family. Brock and my parents are driving down on Monday night then flying out on Tuesday morning. I have to say goodbye in less than twenty four hours. TWO YEARS. thats a very long time. I know he will be a great missionary though! :) He's an awesome big brother and I will miss him a ton! I love you Brock! :D
