Family Reunion Part 1

We got home from Bend Saturday night at about 6:30, and needed to be on the road as early as possible Sunday morning to head to our family reunion with the Hutchins in Oakley, UT.  Hailey rode with us down there. 

 We stopped by Kayla and Thomas' house for dinner, she makes the best spaghetti! This is their cute house in Ogden!
 The Hutchins reunion was filled with fun and games.  It rained most of the time we were there, but there was a pool table and a ping pong table, which, besides swimming, are the most favorite things to do if you are a Hutchins.  Me not so much, but it was fun to watch.  There was a week long pool, Rook, Uno and Ping Pong tournament.  Lisa and I woke up early one morning and went walking.  I miss her.  It was so good to visit and get some time together without the other 50 people there.  Mandy and I also went one morning, she is a gem, we had a great time too.  It was so fun to watch the cousins interact with each other.  Brady is loving being in the "older boys" group now.  They all got to sleep out in the cabin, which Brooklyn was miffed about because "the boys always get to have all the fun."  But he loved hanging out with the older boys, I hardly saw him all week.  Brooklyn had fun with the girls as well, but there are not many of them.  One night we had a family dance which was so fun! Thad and Trina taught all of us how to waltz, swing and two step.  It was a blast.  The teenagers learned all kinds of things and had a great time dancing! We also did the chicken dance and the hokey pokey with the little kids, which was hilarious!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
