Jade's Baptism

Sorry I slacked on getting these pictures up but here they are, (some of them)!

I love this picture!

Congrats again Jade!

(Oh my goodness, fire me now!  I'm jut realizing I don't have one of the whole family!  i think we were going to do it after but things got hectic.  So sorry!)

Jade's getting Baptized

Just so everyone is aware, it is Jade's special day this Saturday.

She will be baptized by her dad and surrounded by her family and friends.

Yay for Jade!

New Baby

You guys thought we were done. So did we! But, hey, Kathleen can't keep her hands off of me, especially when I serenade her at the piano. All of that led to this...

We kinda like her.

Boys

I was bored today and decided to subject the boys to another photoshoot.  

Take a look here if you want to see them all.

There is one in particular that makes me think of Dad, can you guess which one?

Ties

Thanks to a friend here in Seattle, I have learned how to make my own ties for the boys.  So cool!

Utah Grandkids (minus 2 Popes)

We went to the park yesterday and...this picture says it all.

What a do!

Eve did Grandpa's hair last week and when Graham just saw this picture he said, "He looks cute."

Reunion Addendum

These were by far the coolest family reunion shirts I have ever laid eyes on!  

Other families will be jealous.

Thanks Broc for the coolest design

 and Mom & Dad for the funding

Gundy Family Reunion

McCall, Idaho

Love the place, love the house, love the family...as usual, it was a blast!
Here's a little recap for memories sake.

Boating

*Unfortunately every time we went out, we forgot the camera.  However, that does not mean we did not have a super fun time while on the boat.  Every time I go wake-boarding, I forget how much I really enjoy it!  Caleb got up and really started to enjoy it as well.  And the boys just loved being on the boat and jumping in the water in between the wakeboarders.  I can't wait to go again.  Thanks to Mom, Dad, Tyler, Adria, Scott, & Misty for hauling those all the way to McCall!!

Gundy Cook-off

Secret Ingredient: Basil

I learned that I really like pesto and garlic can really give food a kick if you put enough in :-)

Mmmmm, yummmy!

The Great Race

*sorry to the other team who I have no pictures of ;-)

Our 3rd one so far put on by our wonderful, fantastic, creative parents.  We had to capture all of the below things on camera within 2 hours and then produce a video presentation that night:

-5 Random acts of kindness

-Pictures of bugs, animals, monuments

-Word puzzle about our parents' past

-Trivia about McCall Idaho 

-All team members fully submersing the lake

-Someone on the team getting eaten by the lake monster

AND...

my favorite part of all...

-making our own fire...without matches.

This was about the coolest thing I've learned to do in a long while.  

A big shout-out to Jason for teaching us all how to BUST out a fire!

So take a look at that beautiful match-free fire.  Ya, we made that!

Oh, and on a sidenote, our team won although we forgot to take a picture with the trophy!

Making Ice Cream

This was such a cool idea by my Misty.  So creative and fun!

Voila, you have home-made ice cream!

Mini Olympics

Water Balloon Launching was part of this.  Standing at set intervals and catching the launched waterballoons with a towel.  The grankids had a blast being able to shoot these...so did the big kids!  Great job making these Josh and Mindy!

Being with Each Other

Of course, what are family reunions all about!

Can't wait till next time!

Thanks Mom & Dad!

A big THANK YOU for a wonderful family reunion!  So many fun memories!

Can't wait for the next one!!!

Hair

Here's my firt atempt at doing Sitota's hair. Too bad you can't see the little knots her hair is tied in, so darling.

Forever

Just some more shots of this glorious day.

Happy Birthday Truman!

Truman went to Lagoon with his dad and grandpa the Monday before his birthday. He had friends over for a party on the day he turned double digits.

June 26th

The Farm

It was another wonderful Wenatchee weekend!  

We were invited over to The Smarts for Father's Day dinner.  Because of all the dogs, chickens, horses, and cherry orchards we called it the farm when we told the boys where we were going.  What a blast it was to just walk around the trees and enjoy the beautiful day and all the fun animals.  

Can't beat these beautiful surroundings when you've got a camera!

Seems only appropriate to start with a picture of our father on Father's Day.  

What a wonderful Dad and Papa he is!

Someone had heard that if you stick a chickens beak in the ground and draw a line straight out from it, the chicken would stay completely still because he was mesmerized by the straight line.  So of course we had to try it.  And guess what, its true!  Craziness!

Insert family picture here!  BEAUTIFUL!

Oh, how I loved watching Coop run freely and play with all his surroundings!

1 more week and its officially cherry season.  Bring on the cherries!

Caleb learned a new trick.  Stick an apple on the end of a bendy stick and you can really fling it far!  Dad said as a kid, they would have wars with just sticks and apples.  

These things would definitely leave a welt!

And of course, you can't forget the 4 wheeler!  First time ever riding one...

...for both of us!  It was really fun!

Almost makes me want to live on a farm...

...almost! :-)
