Utah Family Reunion

This past weekend we headed up to Utah for the biannual family reunion.  It was a whirlwind of a weekend, leaving Texas Thursday night flying to Albuquerque, then Friday we drove six hours to Utah only to turn around Sunday and head back home.  It was fast but oh so fun!  There were probably about 70 of us hanging out in the mountains, swimming in the lake, roasting hotdogs, playing cards and watching old family videos.  Josh, of course, had the time of his life running around and playing with all his cousins.  In fact the first thing he would say in the morning is "go find a friend".  He wanted to be where the people were (he is his fathers son for sure).  Normally keeping up with him in a venue such as the mountains would have been a very strenuous task but that is why Grammo and Papa are SO great!  It was a lot of fun and we can't wait until 2011 for the next big get together!

It's hard to tell but Trey and Josh are wearing their matching 4th of July outfits.  We couldn't get them to sit still next to each other long enough for a picture.  Look at that belly!
Josh LOVED Sophie and would scoot up next to her where ever she was

The boys on the ride home...we wore them out!
