Reunion 2012

This years reunion trip started out with taking Stella to Grandma and Grandpa Kelly's house.  I know how excited they both were to spend a week or two with Stella;) 
 This was at a rest area at the top of Donner's Summit.  Great place to stretch your legs and get some fresh air!

 King of the mountain....love the pose Pey!
 A few hours into our trip Max decided that he was being left out of all of the fun in the back seat, so we let him sit in the back.  He thought he was just so grown up to sit back there!
 Makes me tired just looking at this picture and remembering what a LONG trip it is...... When we got a ways past Salt Lake we ran into a thunder and lightning storm.  The kids weren't sure what to think.....I think it scared them all a little.
 Love this picture that Max got to be in with Janito Bandito this year.....so funny!!  Loved the play this year!
 Ride back to reunion after the play.....there was just a LITTLE giggling going on in the back!  So excited to see cousins!



 Treasure Hunt time!



 Addi and Ava show off their sisters!

 Meg and Presli meet and stop for a photo shoot:)  Meg's your belly is hanging out!!  LOL ;)




 

 Time for the older kids Treasure Hunt!!







 Holding true to our family tradition, we had my dad give Megyn a baby blessing.  Since Addi, Max, and Meg were all born the end of Mayish....it has worked out to bless my kids at our reunion.  Here are a few picts of Megyn wearing Addi's blessing gown.

My awesome little sis made this little photo op happen when we were at our reunion.....and trust you me.....it wasn't easy to get a spare minute to squeeze this in!!  But as you see she is so talented and they turned out so adorable!  Thanks sis,  LOVE THEM!










Swim Lessons

This year the kids took lessons from a gal in our neighborhood.  Her name is Kathy and she did a fantastic job with them!  I had originally just had Peyton and Addison signed up to take them.  But everyday for the first week Max would watch and beg me to swim too.  She ended up having room in Addi's class so he jumped in the second week.  Max turned out to be such a little swimmer, his teacher said he would have his eyes wide open with a huge smile the entire time he was under water....it was adorable!  Peyton and Addison really improved this year too.  Peyton is a really strong swimmer, and Addi is swimming without a life jacket!! 
These are the pictures their teacher takes of the kids with her under water camera:)  They aren't the best quality because they are a picture of a picture....
 
This was Addi and Max's first time off the diving board!
 Pey practicing those dives...
This was Max by the end....belly floppin and loving every second!
