Family Reunion

 I've been gone....for a really long time.  Good news, I'm back, and it feels good!  We'll talk later about why I disappeared, but right now it's time to get caught up.  Are you ready! Yay! 

Looking at these pictures makes me want to be here.  I want to relax on the hammock on the front porch, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.  I want to ride a horse in the quiet of the evening, or ride a four wheeler for miles with the wind blowing in my hair while Audrey giggles in front of me.

It all sounds so relaxing.  I might have to beg my sister Michelle to let me visit again soon.  

We went to my Brother-in-laws family's ranch for our reunion.  My Dad's family hasn't gotten together in years and years, so I didn't want to miss it.  I love visiting with my Aunts and Uncles, and there are so many cousins I wished I lived closer to.  

My favorite parts: 

Listening to my Dad and his brother, my uncle Mark get caught up.  They are so much like each other.  

Playing volleyball with Emma and Tyler.

  Riding horses with Audrey.  

Going on four wheeler rides with my Mom.  It's fun to see the farm girl come out of her.  

Eating and chatting with my siblings.  

Watching Audrey play with cousins.  

Driving the law mower for the train.  

Watching my nieces and nephew be cowgirls and cowboys, I might be a little jealous

Looking through quilting books with my sister Lisa and Aunt Diana

Watching the Cowboy Sam and Kimberly romance begin.  I love you Kimberly!
Talking about Grandma and Grandpa.  I miss them so much.
Fishing with Audrey.  She's never been fishing before.  Every time I would reel in some moss she would say in her most excited voice...."Look Mom, we caught some SEAWEED!"  We never did catch a fish.  We'll have to try again soon!

This might be a picture overload....but I think they tell a good story!
I love my family!  I just wish Paul could have been there.
