Weber Family Reunion 2009... the whole story

Darick and I drove up to the reunion last Thursday, pretty much everyone got there Thursday sometime. Then we set up our "tent city." It rained all night, and was windy and gross, some people got wet, but we were nice and cozy in our tent.

We were worried that our plans for the day were going to be totally ruined, but we decided to risk more rain and go up to the canyon, it really turned out beautiful! We had some really yummy sandwiches (the meal we were in charge of), and played lots of field games. When we came back we saw my bro-in-law Jason's art show he set up, it was pretty cool. Then we were all so exhausted, many of us went to bed, but Darick and I rocked out to Guitar Hero with some others, and it was totally awesome

Saturday we all got ready to go to the temple, we did some endowment names, and that was really cool. I love going to the temple with my family, although we were all really sleepy. It's so quiet and peaceful there; you just want to take a nap. After the temple we all went swimming, it was great, Jayne was taking a nap, so Darick stayed at the house with her, and he’s so great. Then we had a BBQ at Kim’s house and had a great time. Later that night we had a sweet talent show, see video, click here for a link to the SNL Skit we were copying.

On Sunday we took family pictures, and it took all morning... then we went to church, came home, relaxed and had a white elephant gift exchange, both Darick and I got exactly what we wanted. We spent the rest of the night chatting and hanging out. Darick copied all the pictures from the weekend to our computer..... Over 1000 pictures! After some more Guitar Hero we all went to bed.

On Monday we took down tent city, packed up and drove home. It was a great family reunion. I know everyone else thinks this, but I have the best family!

Where are you?

If any of you wondered, this weekend is my family reunion. It's been pretty awesome. Here are a couple of sweet pics to give you a taste of the fun we're having... I'll post lots of more pictures tomorrow, and you can probably check out my siblings blogs (on the blog list) to see more pictures, if you really wanna see more than I post.

Where are we all sleeping you may wonder? well here is our Weber "Tent City" there are 10 tents total. really it isn't as crowded as you may think... we only have the usual sibling squabbles. Have a good night!

It's a hoot

Give said the little stream

I really do live in such a pretty place, I miss Washington, and all the trees and water, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I love the Falls in Idaho Falls

Party like its your Birthday

Jayne and Darick both had their birthdays this past week. Jayne has never fallen asleep doing anything, like eating spaghetti, or playing with her blocks, and I have always wanted to see her do this, so we let her stay up until she fell asleep. She wanted to watch Bolt with Darick, and didn't last very long. So maybe she'll fall sleep playing some other time....

Darick turned 31, and he's still the cutest guy I know

I love by birthday babes!

Bosom Buddies

When darick and i first got married we lived in a basement apartment. it was a house that could rent to three families. we had two sets of awesome upstairs neighbors. One of my old neighbors now lives here in Idaho Falls too, and her name is Nashina. she's so cool, and beautiful. She is having a baby boy soon, her due date is Saturday.... so he'll be here pretty soon. Nashina came over today to make some nursing covers, i think they turned out awesome. for a sweet tutorial click here . Also here is a sneak peak into my new craft room.. my purple wall, more pictures to come!

They fold up into themselves, which is so nice for storage
