Family Reunion

Last week was my family reunion on Beaver Mountain. We had so much fun and it was so great to see everyone. There was a total of 86 people there and it was awesome. Here are some of my most memorable moments:
  • Caleb having diahrrea and diaper rash the entire trip.
  • The Adult Relay Race. Picture this: thirty of us on five teams spinning around with our foreheads on a bat, then trying to run with a beanbag on our heads. HILARIOUS.
  • Hearing Jada tell her cousins, "This is my brother Caleb. Don't be naughty to him. Don't hit him or scratch him or kick him."
  • Making fun of my cousin and his wife for "getting caught".
  • Playing Mafia around the campfire till 5:30 in the morning.
  • Having everyone in my family there; 19 of us!
  • Huddling under the canopies during a huge downpour and doing the kids' cupcake walk during the rain.
  • Watching the kids go on ride after ride after ride on the 4-wheeler and motorcyle.
  • Being with all of my family. I love you all. See you next year!!!

Grandma Jepson, the reason for it all. Isn't she adorable?!

This is not a race, this is after the announcement that the kids could have a piece of candy.


Prized possession.


Caleb, very concerned about his dirty hands.


Happy Camper.

In trouble (Jada and Sydney, of course).

Reagan & Caleb, seriously dirty and looking like orphans.

My kids approx. five minutes after getting in the car. What a trip!

Diarrhea! YAY for you. Jada must hear that phrase "don't hit, scratch, or kick" as much as Makenna! Looks like a blast! The rain makes it all that more exciting.

The reunion was a blast. So Chet and I laughed so hard about Jada introducing Caleb to the other kids. We missed everyone so much while we were gone and Jada was so hilarious yesterday when we stopped by to see everyone.
