Reunion

Lat weekend was our family reunion. Our family seems to grow exponentially at this stage in time. But everyone made it to the reunion.

All the little cousin eating together.

Austin loved the tire swing.

And what would the reunion be without a project to complete.

Bad Day



So Russ was Rear ended yesterday at the end of our road. The lady hit him at 40 mph and his breaks stopped her. So the car is totaled. You can tell it is an old car and not worth a ton. But it was paid for, ran well, and got 40 miles to the gallon. Well come to find out today the lady in uninsured! Why people!!!So mad! Anyway Russ hurt his back a bit. But it is a good thing he had his seat belt on because otherwise he would have gone through the windshield. The impact was great enough it broke the seat he was sitting in.

Colorado

Last night we returned from Colorado. Our 9 hour car drive turned into a 13 hour nightmare. All three children threw up. Londyn screamed whenever she was awake, for hours at a time and we stopped alot! But looking back the trip was wonderful.
We went to Breckenridge Colorado with my whole family. This is Austin enjoying the sunset from our patio.

We toured the Country Boy mine. Which still has at least 50 million in gold in it!

Then we tried to find our own gold by panning for it. Two hours later, and five people working, we came a way with 5 gold flakes. Not going to live off that adventure thats for sure!

The boy went fishing of course!

On the way home we stopped at the dinosaur museum in Grande Junction.

It was a great trip. This is only a brief glimpse but it was alot of fun spending time with everyone.
