This summer we got a chance to get together with Caleb's family for a reunion in Colorado. We were set to spend 3 days with his dad and one day with his mom. It was a lot of fun. We love seeing all of his siblings especially since they all live so far away. At the reunion for his mom we had a little talent show and Makayla showed off her dance that she had just preformed right before we left Iowa.
Others also did talents. One of my favorites was Quinn and Jamie's family. The girls did a dance and the boys played some instruments to the music. It was so fun!
It was also so fun to get to see the cousins interact. There are so many on this side and they don't get to see each other often. Here Lucy is with the oldest cousin. Can you believe when I married into this family she was just 9 years old!
This is Lucy with another cousin. This one is just a few months older than she is. So fun to see my kids have cousins to play with!

After the reunion with Caleb's mom we had another reunion of sorts this time with Caleb's Dad and Step-Mom. We did lots of fun things around his property and I didn't get pictures of it all! We also had a talent show for his dad and Makayla did her dance again.
Here she is sitting with her cousins watching all the talents. Like I said before she was in heaven with all of these cousins!
Two of Tuesdi's girls did a really cool dance. I was very impressed at their talent.
Shae and Michelle's two girls sang a song and played the guitar. It was awesome. Let me tell you this family is a very musical family. Sometimes I think I am the odd ball out! They all have musical talents. Hopefully my girls will get some musical talents from their dad!
After each act Lucy would say my turn. She wanted to be the star. We finally let her do a talent and she sang "I am taking home a baby bumble bee". It was so cute, but that wasn't enough for her. She wanted to do another talent and so Rachel took her up and did a little dance with her. It was so fun.

Family picture of us with Caleb's Dad and Step-Mom. Yes I am huge in this picture. I was 7 months pregnant.
I know, I know I am a good wife to drive 22 miles across the country to move and then a week later drive 8 hours for the reunion! I must really love my husband! Haha!
Caleb and his siblings
Again Caleb and his siblings.
It was a lot of fun to see everyone. We did a lot of fun things, had a lot of laughs, oh and passed around a sickness. What family reunion would be complete without some sort of sickness right? Well we had a few come down with the stomach flu and yes it hit our family. My poor husband and little Makayla got it and spent some time out of commission Thank goodness it was the last day. Even with the sickness we still can't wait for the next one!
