Ivey Family Reunion 2009

So we had a family reunion this last weekend. We first met Friday night at Aunt Di's house and we had dinner and played a few games. The next day (Which the pictures are from). We were able to rent a park at Lake Wildwood and we played in the water all day. Also that day some of us went down to Roseville for a cousins baptism. The ext day we went to church and their Jeremy and Becca blessed their little girl Karlyn. It was so nice that all of my family was able to come. Ashley came in from Georgia and Jeremy and Becca came in from Idaho. We had a very fun time with all of our brothers and sisters, our kids and all of our cousins. It was a great family reunion. When I have more pictures from other days I post them. But for now this is what I have.

Fathers Day

So for Fathers Day this year JoAnn decided to come in and surprise Blake. It was such a nice surprise for him to see her. Grandma Jo came in Wednesday night and got to stay with us until Monday morning. We were pretty busy that whole weekend but on Saturday we decided to go take a tour of Empire Mine. That was fun, I hadn't done that since 5th grade plus we got some cute pictures of us.
For Fathers Day we went over to my parents and had a big barbecue with My parents, Kristi, Ivey family and Wallace Family. We had a lot of fun. We are so glad that Grandma Jo got to come and visit us. We can't wait for the next time she visits. I know that some are hard to see the people but we really wanted the big house in the picture also.

Brooke's Graduation

Brooke graduated from 8th Grade this weekend. She looked so pretty that night. We are all so proud of Brooke. Congratulations Brooke. Off to high school you go.

More Camping

Here are a few more pictures from Camping. One of the nights both babies were soo dirty. So we heated up some water and we gave them a bath next to the fire place.





Also one of the nights when we were all carving our walking sticks. Thomas decided to give Blake a shave.

Memorial Weekend

Kristi and the kids, Tami, Thomas and their family, Stacy and her kids and Blake, Kennidi and I all went camping for this wonderful Memorial Weekend. We were originally going to go to Meadow Lake but when the Ford F-350 couldn't get through the snow to get to the Lake we decided that maybe we shouldn't try either. So we turned around and found a wonderful little camp site off of Jackson Meadow Lake. We had all of the tents up in a row and all the kids playing. We all thought "this is going to be a fun weekend" we didn;t expect the freezing cold nights, kids and dogs throwing up, dogs unzipping tents and getting out and freezing cold lakes. Even with all that we had a blast. It was Blake and My first time camping together. Kennidi got dirty and loved it, except when the dirt touched her hands. This was a great weekend.
It looks like Uncle Blake and Nait both had bad hair days. All this on the first morning. Looks like its going to get ugly.


Aunt Breanne with some of the kids.

Kennidi definantly had more than enough people to play with. Her she is with Broc and Ava. For some odd reason she loved to play on this rock.




Blake and Austin lead us on this beautiful hike. These water falls are gorgeous. Kennidi loved to be in the back pack with Daddy.




The Lake was really really cold, but that didn't bother Kinnidi. She loves the water. As you can see the lake was some of our bath times.





On our last night there we got a pleasant surprise by having Grandma and Grandpa show up. That was fun. Unfortunately that last night was the coldest night that we were there. Oh well it was a fun last night.



Camping sure does take a lot out of you. Kennidi fell asleep within 7 minutes of getting into the car to go home. She was reading her book one moment and she was out the next.

Cousins dancing

This video is so cute. Cindy and Carter came to visit and we caught them dancing in the restaurant.
