Family Reunion


We had a wonderful weekend. We were all together for the whole weekend. The pictures will tell the story. Bruce and family drove up from Kentucky on Friday and Denise and Brandon and Brayden flew in on Thursday night. This picture was taken 5 minutes before we had to leave for the airport on Sunday to take Denise and Brandon and Brayden.
Thank you family for posing for this picture. Sleeping children had to be woken up and Ryan had to hurry back from a "long distance" errand he had to run for his parents. We found a shady spot on the side of the house.....it still was too bright for Tyler. Dayna is going to have a baby in 3 weeks and Debbie in August. I have braces on my teeth that I thought I could keep out of pictures cause I will only have them for 3 months. But it is all worth it to capture the moment. Many thanks to Uncle Scott for taking the picture and to Jill for making us all smile....well at least looking forward.

We went to an indoor waterpark and the kids had a blast! This is Tyler.

The cousins climbed on rocks then paused to pose for a picture...the sun was really bright.

Saying good-bye is the hardest part.

I just realized Brian and Heather escaped individual pictures.....next time.
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful weekend and understanding and cooperation from all and a big thank you to Brian and Heather for opening your home for Bruce and family and for a wonderful Sunday dinner. You are all the best!!!
