Wow I was thinking when asked in church "when are you due" August 15th is the scheduled date for arrival of baby # 2 his name becasue we haven't decided we struggle with boys names. Two weeks ago my family all traveled to Rexburg, Idaho to get together for a family reunion, we meet at ririe lake outside of Idaho Falls. The events were boating, eating, and getting ticked at people, just kidding -you know how it is when family gets together, it was actually not bad we didnt go through the whole pecking order thing which we usually do. We played mini golf with Ashtons clubs, which really was hitting the balls with short clubs in the weeds, throwing footballs and Frisbees. It was only about 83 degrees which was nice. We set up camp and and then ate hamburgers and dogs. We put the loudest snoring people in a tent by themselves and positioned it far a way. As the night wound down the boys Ashton and Tevan loved going into tents to jump on the air mattresses and then found the smaller tent with grandpa trying to sleep and started to jump on him. He didnt like it at first, however once he took off their shoes he was better equipped to handle to little moneys. When we did try to go to bed Kenny and Eli kept bugging and wrestling with each other that was annoying. And kenny did sleep on our air mattress with Me, ashton, and eli. Toni was suppose to sleep on a twin and spencer left then came back at 10pm to sleep but they both left because they came in at 130am to find sleeping bags but couldnt find them and thought we were using them they were on top of us, so they went back to rexburg, we joked "somebody has to be uncle brent". Tonis roommate annalee stayed and slept in the sagebrush, which luckily for her she didnt get peed on or the other, my dad didn't know she was out in the bushes and who wants to go to far when you have to go in the middle of the night and then trevor had food issues and got the trots, which luckily for everyone he went away from us, he couldnt make it to the bathrooms fast enough so he got to borrow a shovel in the morning from the camp host, not sure what he told the man why he needed a shovel.
The next day we were in charge of breakfast which was good, sausage, bacon which ended up being overcooked, pancakes, hash browns, oj, hot chocolate and cider, and omelets, which we figured out since toni was not up to help, she wanted to make omelet in a Ziploc bag, you place what ever you desire in the bag and place in water that is hot and it cooks it not bad it worked out, and we had fruit, grapes and stuff. Finally at 1030 the crew was ready to go boating, i stayed back only so much room and i rode the day before and it is not as much fun when you can only float. SO I stayed back and so did my dad and we slept for a little bit or tried and then packed up so we would not be late getting out of the campground and so Toni would be on time. She was taking out her endowments from the Rexburg Temple. So around 2 or so i am not sure we left some stayed to keep playing in the water, but most of us went back to rexburg. We dropped off my mom and toni and then would meet up later for the 600 pm session. So to kill time since everyone fell asleep my dad and I went to the thrift store, then looked at fancy homes we looked at one for sale on the hill it is over 10,000 sq. feet too large but pretty and some other homes. Then we went back and got ready and headed to the temple. Ken and Spencer watched the boys, and then we went out to eat at the Hard Hat a steak house in Rexburg. The food was ok, they took forever to get it out to us so we were starving.
That night we slept at tonis scattered around her place on airmattress on beds then we went to spencers church at 8am, way early but 5 of us made it then we left toni and my mom at church and i went home to pack and get ready then my dad and spencer went to see the teton dam where it broke.
Spencer told me to pick up toni and mom but his pickup had a low tire so and i wasnt sure where keys were to the other cars or where they were parked so i had tonis roommate drive me up to where we left them, didnt find them so we drove looking for them then headed back, and found them walking home, they were surprised to see us they told spencer who was tired from throwing up that night, lack of sleep from water skiing all week, and he must of not been paying attention, that they were going to walk home. Annalee made us french toast with the best syrup ever, really good. Then the 2nd church session people went to church and came back and we ate roast and potatoes and carrots and watermelon, rolls, and corn. While group 2 was at church I packing everything up and put it in tonis spare bedroom so we could walk around. After we ate, we loaded and reloaded things, which we did pretty good I haven't heard of anything being found in the wrong car. Then we left for our separate ways.
So besides the reunion Eli has been working on an apartment building for 3 weeks in Rock Springs, (spending the week and weekends here) this week he is in SLC, however today he is in Ogden to unload 7 lumber trucks for a large apartment, then he goes to Richfield Utah to work on a holiday inn sometime, and he is picking up the plans for that and kansas city today. This weekend is his 10 year class reunion for high school. They are just eating at a restaurant, mine which i failed to attend was a 3 day event, I thought it was long and we were moving to Utah from Washington the next weekend which turned out to be 3 days later.
