Family Reunion 2009





































I LOVE family reunion. I love it more after the fact then during Scotts video blips help with that. I love it way more following the event than when Im creatin games or gathering blow up mattresses and bottled water.


I Love the simple things like seeing Tay and GJ pick up right where they left off talking 5 months ago. I love it when Eli and Bailey are finally comfortable enough to come over and wake me up to ask if i know where Eli's shoes are. I love the exagerated efforts we make to provide fun meals made with excess of love and ingredient. I love that I dont ponder who will help with dishes and kids because I know everyone will. I love my mothers tears that turn into mine as she revels in having everyone together happy and safe and then sadness because Boo isnt here. I love uncles who go out of their way to be kids again with nieces and nephews in the sand under a rock or at a fishing hole. I love the laughter of the talent show . Children who are honored for front rollovers and walk the dog tricks on a yo yo. Their belief in themselves and people who will never fail them is everything to me. I love talkin turkey with Tristan and making fun of our government jobs with Jared, sweeping with Mike and debating if Byu is better than that other Utah School Scotty attends ( its not Scotty its not!). I love saying shhhh into the wee hours while people play heartily together. I love my sisters to many reasons to list but how about because they are sincere in everything they do. I love that I have never seen my dad any different than when I was 15 and he was 45 . Now we are both nearly 45 he is my unstoppable giant. I do have a family here on earth and they are so good to me I want to spend my life with them through all eternity. Thank you for making that an easy desire and a critical goal.

I am saving all the pictures. I love all these things too. I wish I could've been there, but I'll get in on all this memory-making sooner or later...:)
