Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Jake and I went and saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this past Friday night. It was AMAZING! It was just like the book. I hate it when movies come out that were originally books and they turn out completely different. Well this is not the case with Harry Potter. It was hilarious and sad and moving and fun and scary and just all-around AMAZING! I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. Seriously, go and see it.

In other news, Jake is speaking in church today. Good luck, Jake!!! Also, my mom had her galbladder (spelling?) taken out this past week and is doing better. Keep getting better, Mom!!!

Vacation and a Sleepover

Well this month has been an eventful one for Jake and I. Just this past weekend my sisters and our cousin Rachel came and spent the night here in Provo. Poor girls, they were crammed into our tiny apartment (as seen below) and were forced to visit Jake's work and take silly pictures (as seen above). But it was SO much fun! You guys can come sleep over anytime!

How did Princess Margaret end up with the couch? Oh, yeah, she's the princess. :)

For the 4th of July we were able to attend the Otting reunion (Jake's mom's family reunion). It was held in Iowa on the farm where she grew up. Since we were so close to Nauvoo we decided that it was a must for us to visit. Our Roundy family were the only ones at the reunion who are LDS so we were the only ones to visit Nauvoo. But it was so worth it! Nauvoo is such a special place and one that I love to visit! The temple is absolutely breathtaking. Our sister-in-law Jess got to go through a session and said it was amazing!

This is Jake and our little niece, baby Julia. She is seriously the sweetest baby ever! I heard her fuss once the entire trip. She is so beautiful and has red hair and chubby cheeks. I was excited to go to the reunion just to see her! She is a total Roundy which makes me wonder if our kids will look like Roundy's or Raines'?
