the jim ellingson family has started a tradition of having a family reunion once a year at the begining of august. last year we went to otter creek and this year went to fish lake. it was so much fun. it was laura and her family, hanah and hers, missy and hers, greg and i, my mom and dad, kara rosie and family friends dan and cam newbill. jaron and his family weren't able to come. it wasn't the same with out them.

each night my dad would have a fireside. we would talk about church stuff. this year it was about the second coming and if we are prepared. my dad is the greatest man you will ever know. he knows so much about the gospel. i love my dad. last year he challanged all of us to read the book of mormon. it felt so good to read and finish it. greg and i read it together. this year his challange was to read the doctrine and covenants. i learn so much when my dad teaches.

jades dad came up one of the days and took us on a beutiful ride . it rained most of the time. but that was the best part.

i love my family so much and i am so thankful for all of them.
