Family Reunion

This past weekend we had a family reunion with Brians family. Everyone traveled to Utah to our house and we braced ourselves for a weekend of fun.

This is a picture of Memere and Caden at the park in our neighborhood. This little guy is so cute you just want to squeeze him to death.
Here is Leland at the park. She definitely had the most fun. Evelyn complained the whole time she had to pee, Ian was sick and not up for much playing, and Claire was just a little to small for these big slides. I did take her down a few times and I was a little scared. Leland was fearless, she even went backwards head first once and was a little shocked to realize that she was going to land right on her head, but of course she just laughed.

This was seriously one of the best days I have had in a long time. It started with 5 hours of shopping at the outlets in Park City , what a glorious time, I really was in the zone! Then after the girls got home from shopping all the adults went to our favorite sushi restaurant. Oh Heaven it was!!!!! I am still dreaming about it. Then to top off the night we went to the movies. Okay the movie sucked, but hey life can't be perfect. ( I was Indiana Jones-don't go see it!)
These kids sure do love their Papa!!! He can always get a huge laugh!!!

This is Caden Deigo and boy his he a cutie!!! He is 7mons. old and just perfect. The only time I heard him cry is when he wanted food. What a little Blessing
And what reunion would be complete without Bear. My hope was that everyone would come and tell Brian that he had to get rid of the dog(that is kinda my secret desire), but instead they all loved him. None of them wanted to own a dog like him ,but it was just fine if we did. I really am the nicest Mom on the planet. Seriously this dog is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am an idiot!

Family comes with ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade mine for the world. We had such a great time and can't wait till the next time we are all together. By then we will have two more grand kids in the family. I am grateful to be a part of this family and will treasure all the memories we made.
