Jumping off Bridges

Another adventure we had with the boys was jumping off this bridge by Justyn and Brendan's house. Brody had a blast! It was a bridge on a golf course, and it doesn't appear to be very high up, but it was! The water underneath the bridge was really muddy and murky. But, the boys didn't care! They thought it was great! Total male bonding!

LeDuc Reunion

We had such a great time catching up with my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins from my Dad's side. I hadn't seen some of them in a really long time. It was so much fun seeing and spending time with their kids and everyone! The first day we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was beautiful. Then we spent the rest of the day at my Aunt's pool. The next day we spent our time in the canyon. It was just the perfect spot to relax and let the kids run around. They slid down the hills, played in the creek, and played games. It was such fun visiting with everyone! I have such a great family- on all sides!

Isaac and Brody Switch Places

When we left the reunion, we took Isaac back with us, and Brody stayed with Josh! It was so much fun! The boys had such a great time together. We swam at Grandma's most days, TJ had his tennis tournament, we made marshmallow shooters, we went to a movie, they went to scouts together, we went to Pirate's Cove, and they had lots of air soft gun wars! We really missed Brody, but we sure had a hard time letting Isaac go! He is such a sweetheart! He was such a peacemaker, he made sure that Trey was included all the time, was so easy going, was so considerate and polite and I could just go on and on! Another huge bonus was that a little of Isaac rubbed off on TJ! I don't know how exactly this happened, but after Isaac left, TJ was so much nicer to his siblings and just a much happier kid! Thank you Isaac! How this all came about, was that TJ and Isaac talked on the phone and planned a summer visit together for about a year. Kristy and I didn't know exactly how we could make this happen, but when some dates for another reunion go changed, we realized that we really could do this! So after the Hall reunion we took Isaac home with us for a little over a week, and then we drove back to Utah for our LeDuc reunion and picked Brody up. It was so much fun, and the kids want to make it a summer tradition. We also would love to figure out a way to get all of my older nephews here!

FHE in the Canyon

Allyson and Reed suggested that we have FHE in the canyon. We brought foil dinners, Reed cooked them all, Allyson brought crafts, Grandpa cooked a Dutch oven cake, and the kids had a great time getting wet and muddy! They just can't help themselves around water! It was a perfect ending to a perfect reunion! Thank you everyone for all of your work, meals and entertainment! What awesome memories!

Dinner and Talent Show at the Park

The last official night at the reunion we had dinner and a Talent show at the park. Kristy had some great crafts and games for us. Thank you Kristy so much (for everything)! Later we had a talent show and watched a movie that Johnny did about Lucy. It was awesome! My camera ran out of batteries at the end, but Nicole sang a Hannah Montana Song, Brandan played the guitar, Justyn played his trumpet, Isaac told a very entertaining story, Joshy and Brody played a little basketball, TJ did one of his drama skits, Kylie played us a song on the piano, and the boys sang, and the little girls finished off the night with another Hannah Montana song, in which many of the boys joined in at the end!! What a talented family we have!
