Family Reunion, Birthday Celebration and Fun Times!

This is my entire family. My two sisters, Michele and Sheryl, one sister Michele, and her family, one brother, Kevin and his family, my Dad and Doris and all my kids and grandkids. Sheryl's kids didn't get to come this time. Both Deanna and Kelly are expecting babies.

Brooke and Liam arrived on July 16th and we were so excited to see them. They got to ride the rail runner from Albuquerque to Santa Fe with Earl's mom and spend the night with Alysha and then they came down to TorC. Liam is such a smart boy. He turned 2 on July 20 and we spent the morning at the Lake, went to McDonald's and got his first happy meal and played on the toys there. We also went to the pool and swam. Liam loves the water. Wednesday we went to Albuquerque and picked up Logan and Savannah for a day at the Zoo and Aquarium. It was alot of fun, very hot day, but we enjoyed their reactions to riding the train between the Zoo and Aquarium and the Botanical Gardens and seeing the animals. I rented a two seater stroller for Savannah and Logan and Brooke had her stroller for Liam. It was quite a workout. Long day and we were all very tired that evening.

On Thursday we went to Ramah to the Clawson reunion. All my sisters and brother came and their families and my 4 children and their children. We were missing JJ, Will and Michael.


We went to a pageant about the history of Ramah and the role Ramah played in the pioneer saga. We had Siu's baptism on Saturday morning and then there was a parade later that day.

We enjoyed eating good food, and having everyone together. We played a new game Jenelle brought that made us have to think. It was history based and very fun. I can't remember the name of the game. We managed to have 28 people wall to wall and everyone got along and enjoyed being with each other.

Hope you enjoy all my pictures. I am still trying to learn how to do different things, but it is slow going. I need my kids here to help me!
