It has been so long since we have posted! School ended the last day of May and the weather here in Utah has been rainy!! We had a break last Friday s0 we t00k all the kids and our little "nanny" (Stevie our next door neighbor) to the new water park "Cowabunga". The kids had a blast! That was a very SPECIAL day for Bryce and I; It was our 12 year anniversary! That post will be next. It has been really a crazy summer. RAIN,RAIN, RAIN! We love the rain it is so nice when the earth is cleansed and it smells good. But, good land it is summer time! So, we have been couped up in the house and when that happens...Bryce and I start making home improvements! Maybe that is why it's felt like I have been running around with my head chopped off! :) Well, now this week the SUN is shining and it is so nice to go outside and enjoy the weather. We have a couple of family reunions and maybe a trip to Lake Powell with Bryce's brother Todd and his family. Not to much is going on with us. Just trying to keep the house and children in order. I promised myself that when school ended the children will have more jobs to do and will learn how to clean and make beds... It has been MAJOR babysitting on that end and I feel like I am going crazy sometimes. I don't think that we even get to play with friends until 2pm! But, hopefully all this work will pay off! :)
Every reunion there is two quilts that grandma makes. Of course we all want one so put in our money and get a raffle ticket. This is where the family gets most of the funds. Everyone is wanting a quilt! What a brillant idea!! Thanks to the "6" original. (That's my dad and his siblings)Chistopher and Keara playing hacky sac.

The twins were very entertained by a stroller!
The Fort! This is where the kids hung out the most. If we needed any of them they would be there. They had such a blast! It's nice to let them run and be free!
"Coley Pokei" are nickname we call him. Is sitting on his bench that he made. He's so dang creative just like his father!!
The proud owners of making this fort. Cole, Holly, Ashlynne and Keara.

One of the pass time's is coloring the "theme" of the reunion. We had a lot of art this year to choose from. This is great for the kids! It entertain's them well. Also, the adults. :)
We usually always have a "Vima" shirt for the reunion. This year the theme was "Out of this world". Here is J.C., Kandee and Fran making our shirts for us! They were in charge of the reunion this year. It was such an success! Thank You guys!
My cousin Kemberli,me and Amanda. My cousin and I use to play a lot together when we were kids. We would explore the mountains and make forts. She is the same age as me. It is always so good to see her.
Lady with all smiles! I love it!
Keara, Cole and Kristina. These three run around with each other when we get together. We are missing a picture of Ashlynne who is the same age.
