Family Reunion Time!!

We recently got back from 10 days in Utah.  The first of our adventures down there was our family reunion.  We all met up at the Wolf Creek condos up Ogden canyon and had lots of fun . There are 29 of us right now in the family, and here are the two that started it all.  We sure do love them!  What a fun posterity they have!
We had a lot of fun swimming at the pool, playing raquetball, playing golf, going for walks, playing games, chatting, eating yummy food, etc.  It was a fun family reunion and great to see everyone, especially Holly's family who I haven't seen since last summer.  Here are some of the highlights of the reunion:  
The first day we went the pool it was really nice.  Here is Jack and I all ready to get in the water.  
Jack and Daddy!

Jack wading in the kiddie pool.  A second later he slipped and went under.  I had to jump in and save him, with my camera in hand.  Kinda scary.

Jack and Daddy in the pool!  Jack sure loves his floaty tube.  

Jack warming up!

Alex and her kiddos!


Stacy and her kids!

Holly and Jackie Bean

One of the nights of madness in the condos!   Jack is either tackling Conner or getting a piggy back.  Probably tackling.  Conner seemed to always be his target.  

Jack and Uncle Rick

Our little family!

A family reunion would not be complete without ghost stories from Brad. It is always a highlight for the kids and adults. He didn't disappoint this year with stories about the bloody finger, the indian jaw, and Swift Goofus.  

Jack obviously had a good time.  You can tell by his CHEESE!

Here are some fun pool pics of the kids on the cold Day 2 at the pool!
Cute little Carly and Lu!

Britney showing off her muscles!

Goofy Ryan

The countdown before being able to jump back in the water after it got checked.  They seriously stood there for at least a full minute saying, "Ready, Set... Ready, Set...."  Dillon, Ryan, Braden, Britney, Carly, Conner, Aubrey, Riley.  


Mom decided to be brave and take all these kids over to the pool.  Jack and Dustin were napping so I decided to go with her.  What a cute Grandma she is!

Striking a crazy pose!

Jack absolutely loved being around the other kids.  Especially the kids close to his size:  Brock, Mylee, and Wesley.  Here he is chilling with Wesley.

My mom got T-shirts for all the kids to decorate, paint, do iron-ons, etc.  Since Jack couldn't decorate his own shirt, Dustin was really excited to do it for him.  Here they are showing it off.  It turned out pretty awesome! 

Cute Mylee and Jack.  Mylee is over 6 months older.  Can you tell?

Mylee giving Jack a hug.

Here are all of the grandkids showing off their T-shirts.  There are now 15 of them with Lisa having one on the way.  Madison, Dillon, Conner, Riley, Ryan, Braden, Britney, Loryn, Mylee, Aubrey, Drew, Brock, Jack, Carly, and Wesley.

Jack, Wesley, Lisa, Braden, Riley, and Conner waiting to leave.

Here is Jack begging Wesley for more of his rice crispy treat.  Kind of a funny pic.

Before we left we took pictures of each family that was there, with a few people missing.  So here are some pics:  
Here we are, blurry, but better than the pic I looked too fat in! :)  

Clint's family (without Clint!)

Kirk's family (without Kirk)

Rick's family!

Holly's family (without Brad).  I only get to see these guys like once a year, and that is not nearly enough.  They are such a cute little family!

Thanks fam for a way fun family reunion! We sure do love you all!
