Family Reunions!

While we were in Utah we were blessed to attend two wonderful family reunions. We had a wonderful time with Rheanna's family and then her extended family on her Mom's side. Here are a few shots of some of the great times we had.


Going on a hike, beautiful view.


At a water park in Lava Hot Springs ID. Andrew and our nephew just jumped off one of the High Platforms at the same time.


On our morning walks we found a few horses and cows. This one horse was nice enough to let us feed him every morning.


Andrew went on a 50 mile bike ride around Bear Lake with about 15 members of my extended family. He spent about 4 weeks training to get ready. This is not something he normally does, but he really enjoyed it, and is hoping to continue.


Here I am making Breakfast for the family one morning.


This was a special day. Brandt got to meet his Great Grandma and Grandpa for the first time. This is the Grandma I am named after...her name is Rhea and I am Rheanna. We were excited for Brandt to meet them. My Grandpa is standing in the background, they are the best grandparents ever, and I love them dearly. Brandt was happy to take her finger as we went inside.


Daddy and Brandt saying hi to the pigs. They were excited to see us at first, but not so much when we didn't have any food for them.


Brandt loving the water and sand, plus he had a shovel, which makes for a happy boy! We also took him for a ride on a jet ski. He kept saying "WHEEEE!!!!" Life doesn't get any better.
