Family Reunion


Over labor day weekend my wonderful family on my Mom's side had our family reunion. I look forward to this event every year. We went camping up Payson canyon, which I have fallen in love with. I love Payson canyon. Anyway... it was sad that the Keel family couldn't all come and stay. It was also sad that memebers of the Ison family couldn't come as well, but it was still a lot of fun. And... we got to see LINDSEY!!! I haven't seen her in years. She was so much fun to be around. Okay... I just posted pics so I will try to tell about most of them. This man was riding by our camp and stopped with his horse to let all the kids ride. How sweet!!!! I love that there are truly giving, charitable people left in this world. The kids were in heaven.






Dave is an avid bike rider. He crashed though. And really hurt his shoulder. This is him with an ice pack on his shoulder. I just loved how funny he looked, so I thought I would exploit him.

























Typical campin' kid face.



This is Holly and Lindsey, my two awesome cousins. They really were fun to play games with and joke around with.



We took a trip down to the cute little lake. Here are the kids playing.













Before leaving the lake we were all up getting in vehicles and Travis couldn't find Jared. We were looking around. You probably can't pick him out in this picture, but Nic said "There he is... clear down by the water." LOL...



In his diaper. LOL... Oh my heck.. this was funny!


My aunt Joni is the best at the kid activities. Here she covered the table with wrapping paper and let the kids color on it. They loved it.


We played Minute to Win It. SO. MUCH. FUN!
Here are Travis and Jeremy trying to hit a ball back and forth with my Dad's flippers and get to the end of the line. FUNNY!!! If they dropped it, they had to go back and start over.














Davey trying to keep the marble on the table and get all the way to the end of the table.


I was nominated to do the pencil one where you hold your hand out palm down and 4 pencils are stacked on the top of your hand and you have try to catch them without they flying everywhere, if you do, you get more. I did okay, I didin't get them all, but I ended up with 8 pencils by time the minute was up. It was better than the other team, so that's all that matters, right? (smile)


Mindy and Jennifer racing to empty the kleenex box first. Mindy won! She was on my time.... GO MINDY!!!


Aunt Julie and Lindsey trying to get an oreo from their forehead to their mouth only using their facial muscles. LOL... this was hilarious.













Jared was helping Grandma... he totally took it off her face and put it in her mouth. Cute.


Nic and Lacey were tossing marshmallows. Lacey tossed, and Nic had to catch them and put a new cup on top. They were silly.


Dave and my mom were challenging them on that game.





I am so shocked my Dad actually did this. He's a champ. They had to stack blocks on the plate on their head and not them fall over.




Jeremey and I racing to get the red cup to the top. You had to switch hands while doing this. Anyone who knows me knows I hate to lose. I'm not a sore loser, but I really like to cheer when I win. REALLY like to cheer! Let's just say.... I totally won, and I totally cheered.




Nic and Lacey and Dave and Travis raced to see who get three marshmallows in their cup that was on top of their head. LOL... Seriously... JOni is a genius. This was SO. Much. Fun!!!!





The team that won got the prize. Here they are opening it. Joni said it was something only a Jarman would love. (It was the Jarman reunion)
It was a Jar-Man. She is so silly. We all laughed.



We turn around, the kids, of course, are sitting playing in the fire. Of. COURSE. THEY. ARE.


It was so cold on Sunday night, I was so bundled up. I was worried I would freeze. I didin't, but it was so blasted cold.
