Oh the family reunion...

Andi and I decided to take our kids (my one and her two) on a 13 hour road trip to our family reunion in New Mexico.

Remind me next time that's a bad idea.

I'm all about spending time with family... but being in the middle of nowhere trying to take care of children without your husband and usual selection of general conveniences is more tricky than fun.

All in all we are so glad we went and here are a TON of pictures from all the fun we had.


Well there you have it... that's the group... or a good chunk of them at least.
Morgan, Mom, Rory, Cooper, Mike, Andi, Kennedy, Me, & Damon
Me and my siblings. This is the first time we have all been in the same place at the same time in YEARS. None of us could even remember the last time we were all together.

Yep, that's my child running around in the background in PJ's and tennis shoes.
Damon and Cooper having a little smooch! We can totally use this as black mail in like 15 years.
Damon playin a little volleyball. Dad would have been so proud to see his mad skills.
Our cute little cabin that we got to share with 3 scorpions, a bat, and a tarantula. Along with countless creeping, crawling, and flying bugs.
Mike and Kenny baby. If I didn't know any better I would say he's enjoying his little niece.

We wore the little man right out!
Yep, that is my sister wheeling her child and carrying mine. It was a long walk from our cabin to the pavilion where all the action happened. We didn't want to make more than one trip if we didn't have to.
Yep, that's her again doing all the work. I'm sure I was carrying a load full of stuff or I would have been helping.
We all got to try some food that was new for our taste buds...
Damon's buds didn't like this one too much.

There was actually a little scenic beauty to top things off.

I'm about the size of an apple juice jug right?

Yep, he did this one all on his own too.


Like Mommy Like.... Son

The other day my sister made the comment... "Maybe it would be a good idea for Damon to spend all day with a Daddy instead of a Mommy".

This is just one example of what Damon has picked up from yours truly.

No joke, he did this all on his own.
