Bear Lake- Willmore Family Reunion 2015

Bear Lake 2015- Last time the entire family will be together for 2 years while Mark serves his mission in Cebu, Philippines. Bear Lake was so fun. We stayed in a large cabin in Fish Haven, about  15 minutes from the actual lake. It was roomy and lots of space for everyone- mainly the kids to run around and have a good time. The Merrill's let us borrow their boat, so Mitch and I hauled that to Bear Lake and that provided a lot of fun. We also stayed up late playing games and laughing way too hard and ridiculous things. Brooklyn loved eating the sand and spent plenty of time entertaining everyone as she would try and put handfuls in her little mouth. It was a great trip and Dad even got to come. That was great I am glad he was feeling well enough to be able to come and enjoy sometime with us. Here is so hoping a recovery that will be long lasting so he can stay out of pain. I need my parents around for a long time. So they need to take care of themselves.
Here are some pictures of our fun trip!

Mark left August 5th, now that was a very emotional goodbye. First off- I am horrible at goodbyes... always have been always will be. So lets just say lots of tears came and Mark was pretty emotional as well- which made me more emotional. He is my little brother- my baby brother. I think that's why it was harder this time around. Mitch gave him and tie and they embraced- Mitch shed tears and told him how much he loved him. It was very sweet. Brooklyn was being so cute to him that night and was cuddling up to him. She has loved him since day one. I have had Mark hold her plenty and play with her so she is very use to him and loves him. He has a special way of making her laugh. It is just crazy that she will almost be 3 when he returns. Time goes on. Life is great and I am so proud of Mark getting on a mission and developing his testimony. I love that kid and I am so happy he is serving the Lord. We all need to improve while he is serving his mission. I want to make myself better and come closer to the Lord in this time as well.

Mitch and I are working a lot and his is also doing his internship. We are trying to save up money and get through school. So the next 6 months we will based on working and having fun- not in school! So hopefully we can do some fun things while we don't have to worry about assignments and testes. Low stress! We need that for our marriage and for our family right now. I love Mitch and he makes me so happy! I love that silly man!



We also took some Family Pictures, My friend Amber Cardinet did them and they turned out so great! It will be fun to see how everyone changes in the next 2 years!
