My FaBuLoUs FaMiLY!!

This is a little late, but better late than never I guess. So I went to Utah at the end of June for a family reunion/mini vacation. (Vacation is a little debatable as I took Mack by myself...need I say more?) It was oodles of fun despite the longer than usual nights due to a new place and being totally off of Mack's schedule. The best part though, as usual, was being with family at our little family reunion. I guess little isn't the best word considering we have 22 immediate cousins (not including the seven of us) and then all of their spouses, which aren't a few, and then all of there kids. I think we had between 75 and 100 people there, but what a party! I guess we should be grateful it isn't the Smith side, that's even more! Excuse the tangent, now back to the best part...all of my siblings and I were together. That doesn't happen as often as I wished it would so when it does it is a scrum-diddly-umptios treat! We had to capture footage of the rare sighting. So this is it, my siblings and I and a few stragglers (three of the five new grandbabies).


Back Row: Far left is Mike (Numero uno of 7), Tyson (#3 of 7, despite the gray hair), Shawn (#5, right before me)
Bottom Row: Far left is Aanika holding her baby Ella(#4 of 7...middle child), Me holding Mack (#6 of 7), Maquel holding Mitch-one of her twins, (#2 of 7, also like my second mother) and finally the baby of the family, Camy.

We're all grown up now, but have even more fun because of it! Not that I'm partial, but I love them all and really do believe they're the greatest in the world! Not a bad looking, sun-kissed bunch, if I do say so myself.
