We attended the annual family reunion of my mother's family over the weekend. It is always so much fun to get together with my aunts, uncles and cousins. It is a large family to begin with and as we all get older, marry and have children it continues to get larger and larger. We attended last year for the first time and I got to see a lot of family members that I had not seen in many, many years. This year we had a lot of different members show up and some from last year didn't come this time around. This year we had some cousins from Idaho show up and more from Texas. A lot of us are heavily involved in our ancestry so it was nice to meet cousins I never even knew before. Below are a few of the many photos taken that day.

This is one of my favorite photos, little did I know when it was taken just how special it would turn out to be, it shows my son Jordan, daughter Jamie, grand daughter Hannah and way in the back ground my sister Debbie.
David always provides great entertainment for the crowd
