Bonny is home so here's Brett showing his affection.
Jack with Jane and Aubrey. Megan and Jackson are in the wings.
Prior to the meal, we had a few thoughts about being a family.
Clare created two pinatas.
Apparently this one got busted!
Liam and Daxton getting involved with the broken remnants.
Alyssa and the newest addition, Ava with Clare.
I had Clare bring her riding toys over so the little ones had something to do. Clint parked his car at the end of the driveway so they would have an end to their race track.
Michael and his fiancee, Becca.
Beautiful Lauren.
Cousins
Addison has the touch with little Liam.
Pat and eldest daughter, Liz.
This is the first time in 30+ years that we've had a family photo taken.
This time with the spouses.
When I was a kid, we had either a branch or family picnic on the 4th of July. I have such fond memories of those gatherings. Therefore, the 4th was the perfect day for us to have our family reunion. We ate and visited and visited and the guys played ball and the kids went swimming. In the evening we had our own fireworks show thanks to Lance and Tom providing the fireworks. It was quite impressive. I took 200 pictures. Most of the family was here. The only ones missing were Kurt's Evan and Alexa who are both serving missions, our Erin who is working a fairly new job, Pat's Alex who was just here a month ago and Matthew who apparently didn't get the memo, Brett's Katie and Tony who were both just here and Bonny's Bradley and Shane. My dad said he enjoyed the day with all the people and visiting. I was so thankful for that since he's been feeling under the weather since his surgery. These are beautiful people whom I love dearly. Can hardly wait until we do it again in two years!
