Riley's 1st temple trip.
Afterward we drove to Baltimore to attend my sister Amanda's Fitness competition. This was her first time and she has been training for about 5-6 months. We ran into her at Barnes and Noble before the final competition started.
Riley was her cute self, however, we weren't enjoying her new ear piercing screeching she has decided to demonstrate when things don't go her way. But, she was ready to cheer her Auntie Mandy on.
The boys were excited to see their cousins.
Amanda won 1st place in her division, a very exciting moment for all. I just want to know why I didn't get those family genes. 
We had fun afterward celebrating in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. We had dinner at the Hard Rock where my sister ordered three desserts first, a plate of nachos and a hamburger. She had fun taking a few bites from all of them until the sugar rush hit. She hasn't eaten anything like this in many months.
We enjoyed continue sight seeing and paddle boating with the kids.
Brandon was excited to be old enough to go out on his own with his cousin.
We enjoyed lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, where the kids became very bored waiting over an hour for their food.
Silly Bands have all sorts of uses and entertainment.
A definite must on a hot day with a Ben and Jerry's stand.
Riley in her glory taking everything in.
Holocaust memorial. We have recently talked with the boys about this tragic historical event, so it was interesting to come upon this memorial.
My sister and her family.
Married his Senior Prom Date, my mom
They had seven children and would have loved more. They made up for it later by taking in exchange students and stray young single adults.
Was a loving husband, companion, and friend. 
A great Dad.
Loved country music and dancing. I remember many father daughter dances. He would have me spinning all around the floor - loved it.
Loved his parents and the times he got to spend with them. 
Moved on to his next journey on January 2nd, 2010.
