My mom's side of the family has a Monson family reunion every year. It's really fun to see everyone's growing families and to be able to visit. It was mostly at my cousin Eldon and wife Stephenie's house (thanx guys!). We camped in their backyard. My mom and our family were in charge this year (each of her siblings takes a turn every 5-6 years). This is a group shot of most of the people that were able to make it. We're on the right in the red shirts. We had a wonderful time. I took like 300 pictures of the weekend. :) I really enjoyed all of the events that we had, but especially hearing about my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Julie's mission and the testimony meeting we had.
Cousin K, Little Miss R and Cousin L, eating yummy snow cones made by Auntie Jolie and Uncle Dan
Little Man E and Cousin T
Me and my Kiddos--everyone made t-shirts for their individual families. I painted ours free-hand.
Mark and his childhood buddy, and brother in law Grant.
Little Man E and cousin S
Grandpa and Baby K
Little Man E and Little Miss R
Baby K got her first taste of a lolly-pop from her Great Aunt Glennis
Auntie Angela and sleepy Baby K. After the reunion, Angela, Grant and their 5 girls came to visit us down at our house which was a two hour drive from the reunion. We had such a wonderful visit with them. I also took their family pictures while they were here.
Here is a picture of the front of our shirts, that I painted :) A star and a "C" for "Chandler"
This is a picture of the back of our shirts that I painted. The numbers are for the kids ages (even though Baby K isn't quite 1 yet), and Mark and my number's are the left over numbers, I wanted to have 1-5 because that is how many people are in our family. :)
I LOVE this picture of Little Man E.
Little Miss R LOVES to Dance.
The theme of the reunion was preparedness, and I was asked and gave a presentation on Health and Wellness Preparedness.
Baby K and her Uncle Dan.
Me and my cousin Monica. We're told all the time that we look alike.

I love family reunions! That is so great that you guys get to go every year. Love the shirts too by the way and hope your fitness lesson went great!!!
I'm so glad you took pictures because I didn't take any this time! I wish we would have had more time to visit! It seemed to go so fast and it didn't help that so many people got sick!
