Fun Family Weekend

For the first time in a long time, my side of the family got together for a little reunion of sorts. The trip down could potentially have been terrible were it not for one technological miracle called the portable dvd player. Though Rachel watched more episodes of Blue's Clues than I care to say, we were saved from tantrums and crying! Except Brandon is following his big sister's footsteps and gets car sick now...

The weekend was great. I was able to go to a friend's wedding reception as a surprise. We ate lots of junk and had a great time playing water balloon volleyball. I think Ben and I won...we were the best!! I even went on a walk/jog. It felt great to jog again since I haven't done it since my accident.

Grandma and Grandpa Thomson even came on Saturday to see the great-grandkids. The kids stole the show of course.

Rachel and Hyrum seemed to like each other and chased each other around a little bit. They had tons of fun playing in the water fountain too.


They also enjoyed the teeter-totter together. They seemed to be good pals most of the time.



Brandon can sit up for short periods now. What a big boy! And so cute too right?


Hyrum is learning to walk and it is kind of amusing sometimes...


As always we attempted family pictures. However, it was very windy and it started to rain which made for some unflattering shots! Ben took the pictures for one round, then Mike took over. We will join the whole family through Photoshop later!

We had a lot of fun and can't wait til Christmas to do it all again! (Minus the water balloons!)
