We are Family! Get up everybody and sing!

I had the best weekend! I got to hang out with all my favorite people.


Look!

My Mom and Dad!

My sister Venita and her husband Jeph!

My sister Lynnette and her husband Neal and their kids, Sarah (in picture) Adam, and Isaac!

My sister Melanie and her husband Tom and their two children Brogan and Ashlyn!

My brother Brian and his wife Cali and their children Klayton (in picture) and McKynli!

My baby sister Chanae! She's single! :)

My baby brother David! He's not! ;)

And my sister Deborah and her husband Joel and their children, Ellie (in picture), Tanner, Hayden and Devin.




I did not get to see my sister Kami because she is on an LDS mission in the Phillippines and I missed seeing my brother Spencer and his wife Becca and their children Taylor, Andrew, Erica and Emily by only a few minutes. Bummer! Maybe next time.




We also got to hang out with Ken's sister Julie and her husband Mark and their kids Riley, Whitley and Alisa.

Best of all, I got to hang out all weekend with these crazy kids.

And my most favorite person of all, Ken!


And now I'm really, really tired!
Happy Memorial Day!



P.S.
Since Kami's mission blog is private, I thought I'd share some pictures that she currently has on her blog. It appears that even though she couldn't be with us, she was still having loads of fun. We missed you, little sis! Next year the party is all about YOU! (I have no idea why this is underlined but it's ticking me off so I'm going to look away and pretend that it is normal, the way I wanted it to be. GRRR!)

Thanks for inviting me to your blog. It was a lot of fun to have David here, I think he enjoyed himself. He probably showed you all the pictures this past weekend. I am glad you had fun this weekend at the reunion. I am planning a trip to Rupert. I bought my tickets today. I'm going to California for a wedding and then viisting Rupert for a few days before my family reunion in Montana this August. It is shorter than I would have liked but it worked out best. I hope you're having a great day.

My sister went to the Philippines, Cebu Mission in the 80s.

That is quite a family gathering! I'll have to go check out all of your siblings' blogs.

Hmmm, I have a single, RM brother at BYU right now. Maybe we should get him together with Chanae.

You should have just said something and we would have stopped trying to convince you to come out more. We still love you and were happy we got to see you at all. Besides, now we get to hang out at one of the coolest concerts of the year!

Looks like a lot fun having the family together. I will get to see mine in a short time for a long while. We decided to stay out there while Jeremy looks for a new job.
