Family Reunion '09

The post with a lot of pictures. We just got back from the Nelson Reunion and it was so fun, even though I had to sit out on stuff due to being 8 months pregnant. My brother Tim and his wife Corrine were in charge this year and they did an excellent job. We were especially grateful for them for finding a cabin with air conditioning. My only big regret was missing out on getting some pictures as it was too hard for me to go up and down the hill to the river. So I missed getting pictures of the family Olympics and of Landon floating down the river with Jarrett.

These pictures are from when we checked out Lower Mesa Falls with the Moss Family (plus Ryan)

This isn't a hike as it may look but rather a 5 min walk from the car.

One of the few pregnant pictures of me. I'm not to happy about the fact that for the next two years there will be a pregnant picture of me on my parent's wall from the family pictures we got done with everyone.

We all went bowling which is a great activity for everyone especially due to bumpers and this ramp. Landon had a pretty good score as there was definitely something wrong with the computer scoring.

We celebrated all the holidays again this year and instead of dressing up, my incredibly talented sister-in-law painted the kids faces.

This is Luke and Landon getting ready for water balloon volleyball

By far Landon's favorite thing. He was always looking for a cousin to play air hockey or waiting for the big boys to finish so he could ave a turn

His Grandma Pajamas

I think this is a pretty good picture of all the grand kids as no one is crying. There are 20 grand kids and ours will be the 21st.

It was a great week as we don't get to see my brothers and sisters all the time as we are pretty spread out. It was especially fun this year as Landon has actually started playing with other kids and he played with his 2 cousins only a month older than him.

Edited to add:
Michelle pointed out I was missing a grandchild in the last pic, so her is one with all of them
