We just wanna have fun!

Abraham Lincoln Monument! My absolute Favorite!!!
Washington Monument! SOO Beautiful!!
World War II Memorial-one of my FAVORITES!!!
After the rally, me, Heidi, and Allison went around to some of the monuments. When we went to the World War II monument we found that everyone was putting their feet into the water which we are never able to do so we stayed and cooled off in the water!!! :) It was great!
About 1/6 of the people there! It was AMAZING!!
I was able to go to DC with my great sisters and some cousins for the 8/28 Restoring Honor rally! It was soo awesome!!! We were able to go to Georgetown Cupcake, the new food network cupcake show! They were pretty good but there are better cupcakes in Farmington, UT.
Leaving Utah :"(
Our last night in Utah we were lucky enough to go to The Portlocks for FHE and dessert! This is the best picture we could get of the clan!
I was able to spend lots of time with my beautiful sister Allison! :)
Our Aunt and Uncle live right next door to Our Grandparents so we got to see them and their cute son Stone a LOT!!! :) :) :)
Benjamin and Matthew were practically inseparable while we were in Utah! This is a day we went bowling! It was very entertaining!
Us kids were able to visit Utah a couple weeks ago and I went out with some friends and took pictures and this is one that I came back with! :)
Bridge to Canada up in Lexington
Beautiful Michigan!
Morgan has become a good friend of mine in our ward!
and so has Chelsey! :)
This isn't the greatest picture but this was on the fourth of July when we did fireworks!
Above are some pictures of the past 3 weeks and some other things that we have enjoyed while being here! We h`ave loved being with the missionaries! Me, Blake, and Matt were able to go bowling with 3 of the companionship's on Monday and had a blast! School starts in a week and we aren't so excited but it will give us something to do daily! YAY!!! More to come! Thanks for the love and support!

the highest roller coaster in the US was there and me and Blake were able to go on it! It was 120 mph in 100 yards and then up 420 feet and then back down! It was awesome!
Waiting in line...again! :)
All smiles at Cedar Point! :) haha


So I know I have stunk at posting! But here is a little re-cap of the last couple of weeks!
Blake started playing with the hockey team! YAY!!! He does conditioning with them a couple times a week and is doing awesome! The guys on the team or cool and Blake has been able to hang out with them a couple of times. I (Whitney) have made a couple of friends and we have been able to have a sleepover and hang out a couple of times which has been awesome! I also went to girls camp 2 weeks ago which was pretty good. Matthew has also made some friends and he has hung out with them a few times and it has been awesome! He actually just left to go Ice Skating with them. President and Sister Holmes are starting to get into the hang of things and they have been working very hard! The family has been able to do many things! We have gone to 3 converts baptisms so far and it has been wonderful to see how happy the converts are and the spirit there is so sweet! We have also been able to explore a little bit by going down into the city and getting a flat tire there and we also have had the chance to go to Cedar Point amusement park! We went yesterday and it was awesome! every ride there is a roller coaster! It was awesome! Above are some pictures of our adventures!!! Oh and i tried to get some pictures up from the baptisms up but it didn't work! grrr.. so hopefully I will be able to get those up some time!
