Putnam Reunion 2011

We made a very quick trip out for my huge family reunion this year.  My Grandma Elda and her daughters were over it this year.  The theme was the Olympics, our family was the Vickhams (my Grandma and Grandpa's last name is Wickham).  It was so much fun getting everyone together and seeing the family!  It is one of my kids favorite things to do! (OK mine too:) Peyton just wants to know why we have to do it over Labor Day and why it can't be in the summer and be a week long!

The first night we got to the reunion we dropped off all of our camping gear and headed up to Bear Lake to see a Play at the Pickleville Playhouse.  This is the third year in a row we have gone and Peyton LOVES Jaunito Bandito he is hysterical......we grabbed him after the show for a quick picture:)

The Redmon girls got to sing the National Anthem at the opening ceremony!

Grandpa never got to go anywhere in his razor without at least 10 grandkids:)  Max played in this thing almost the whole reunion!

Playing in the creek

We were so lucky to have the Neilsons come up to our reunion for an afternoon.  Poor Jordan wasn't even feeling good that day and was such a trooper and stayed so we could all catch up!  We miss them SO much, and it was such a treat to have them come and see us!

My Sweet Little Addi

Things we love about her at four:

*She loves helping me take care of Max, they are pretty much inseparable and when she goes to preschool he is totally lost.

* She is always talking to me about how worried she is that she won't know how to be a good mom when she grows up.  She will say things like mom I love this dinner, will you teach me how to make it when I am a mom?  Or will get upset about random things like not knowing how to fold the laundry like me and will say she will never be a good mom..... or will tell me she is taking care of Max so she can practice being a mom.  So cute she is even thinking about that at such a young age! 

* What she wants to be when she grows up: A doctor, and a mom, but she wants to live with us:)

* Favorite color: Pink and purple....always and for everything, her room has alternating pink and purple walls decorated with a princess castle and butterflies, just the way she wanted it!

*Favorite things to do: Puzzles, color, draw, practice writing her name, playing games (favorites at the moment are trouble, candy land, cooties, and bowling on the wii), playing dress up usually like a fairy princess, swimming, and of course wrestling with her dad :-)

*Favorite food at the moment: Bean burritos, (she could eat them breakfast, lunch, and dinner) pizza, string cheese, scrambled egg sandwiches, and any kind of chocolate (especially chocolate ice cream)!

She loves her cousin Grace, she looks up to her a lot ;)

Teaching Max a thing or two on Grandpa's computer :)

This was her graduation from Pepper Preschool.....she LOVED this school, still asks all of the time when we get to go back and visit!

Her Big Day.....her preschool made and decorated her crown.  So cute!

This picture is hilarious, we were going to play a game and I looked over and she was out!

Peyton asked if he could volunteer at her preschool, it was so nice of him.  Her teacher let him come in and read to the kids....it was so cute!!  She was so proud to have her big brother there reading!
