The Hart Family finally together!!

On June 20, I finally met my oldest brother. We spent Father's Day together and it was the first time that all three of my dad's kids and all six of his grandkids were together. It was amazing. I am so grateful to have them in my life!

A couple of weeks later, I was able to go down and meet my two aunts. We played a couple of intense games of uno and just had a lot of fun!!

The Cruise: Happy Birthday Mom!!

For my mom's 50th birthday we went on a cruise. We were originally supposed to go down to Mexico but when the swine flu hit they changed all of the cruises to go up to Canada. Our first stop was in Astoria, Oregon. There we saw "The Goonies" house and the school where "Kindergarten Cop" was filmed. The second stop was in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was beautiful there. We got to go see the Butchart Gardens and it was amazing. Our final stop, before heading back down, was VanCouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was just so pretty up there. The cruise was a blast and I cannot wait to go on another one. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
