This last weekend was my family's reunion.There are 11 kids in my family and 10 of us
were able to make it, with
our families. There ended
up being about 60 people. My brother was the only
one not there, because he is serving in Iraq.
It was a bummer not having him with us.
It was at my parent's house. Their house is big and
the yard is huge and beautiful. We were all
outside most of the day, and slept in tents
at night. (We brought a tent trailer) :)
Here is a couple pics of my parent's yard,
which is right on the Snake River, in Idaho Falls.
My parents had everything you could think of.Pool, bounce house, slip and slide, 4-wheelers,
movie theatre room, new covered patio, all kinds
of fun.
We love bounce houses!
Ashley hangin out with family.
Grandpa in the pool with some of the grandkids.
My cute sister-in-law, who made me an awesome anklet.Then I learned how to make them, and
couldn't stop. Girls sat around making them all
weekend.
Here is a pic of my brother, Seth, who was not there.So grateful for him and his willingness to serve our Country.
We love you Seth!
Yes, that is a full size cut out.... Haha
Jordan hanging out with his cousin. I think allthe kids were in their swim suits all weekend.
Some fun in the yard. It really was beautiful..
A few sisters chattin...
And a few brothers...being goofy.
Night time chatting. My family is so loud, but oh, so fun!
Cody wouldn't leave the dog alone.We would find him over in a corner just
petting and talking to her.
Sweet boy...
Then there was the "string bling". My aunt brought thisfun string to tie into your hair. Any color, and it
can last for months. The girls loved it.
Even I put some in along with my sisters and sis-in-laws.
So fun.
Cute huh?Our Ashley was loving it.
Meals...we assigned everyone to different meals. This night,my brother Matt and his wife made a cajun
style dinner. It had corn, potatoes, sausage, onion,
shrimp, lemon... all kinds of yummy stuff.
You cook then dump onto newspapers, then
dig in with your hands. It was so fun
and so yummy.
You ask my kids and this was one of their
favorite parts of the reunion.
Here is part of the "clan"
4-wheeling fun.
Smores...
We ended the last night with a "dance party".It was so fun. Everyone was out dancing and sweating.
It went on for hours.
Our Cody was one of the ones that lasted the longest.He was busting a move.
Some of my siblings showing off their moves. LOLThe reunion ended up being a success.
We are thinking of doing every year
cuz it was so much fun.
I love my family so much!
