My Family Reunion

My family has started having a family reunion every year and this year Nate and I were in charge of planning it. We spent a couple of days at a house we rented up in Heber and a night in Provo watching the fireworks at BYU. I hope everyone had as great of a time as we did. Lia and Laura could not contain their excitement! I hardly saw them the whole time we were there they were so busy playing with their cousins. Other than my brother and his family having to sleep in the family room (sorry Ryan and Heather) and my brother-in-law burning his hand on some fireworks (I'm REALLY sorry about that Mike and Kathie), things went pretty smoothly. I wouldn't even mind planning another one...in a few years. Nate was so great in planning and carrying out everything and my mom helped A LOT!! I am grateful for a family who likes getting together and who is so supportive.

Most of the girls...
Lia with my new little nephew.
Lia and Laura sang "So Long, Farewell" from "The Sound of Music" for the talent show.
Josh throwing rocks in the stream up in Heber.


Laura waiting for the fireworks to start.
This is all the grandkids except Anna and our baby that's coming in a few weeks. My mom got all the kids hats, along with a lot of other 4th of July stuff. This is one of our favorite events all year because the kids have plenty of room to play and the adults have plenty of time to talk, although we were a little anxious this year to get back to the house to play. I don't think we've ever all stayed in one place together and we really had a lot of fun.
