First of in July Jonathan's Family had a reunion. It was a lot of fun seeing the Oregon Klingler's and their cute kids. We swam, we cooked out, we spent way to long at the photo studio, and we played some games. Here are some highlights.

Then my Uncle Steve (Jayne's dads brother) and my Aunt Mary Jean came into town from Florida. They got to meet Bobby Ray for the first time. It was so cute! We had a cook out and then the stories started coming. Let me just tell you that the stories from my dads childhood is amazing, funny, and I can't believe they survived it. We just love to hear the stories. Their is always more that we haven't heard so the good thing there is not a whole lot of repeats, and the stories just keep coming. Literary we are rolling laughing on the floor while they tell us these things that happened to them as a kid.

Then I (Jayne) was able to see my sister Helene up in Kamas, Utah. I drove with my parents, my kids, and niece and nephew. If you want to start disliking some one put every one in a tight place for two days. You will all go crazy.
But in Utah it was fun. We went horse back riding every day. We took the kids fishing and made somores. I was able to go visit Jonathan's grandparents in Springville Utah and stayed the night with them. They were able to meet Bobby Ray. Then once the kiddos went to sleep we played some really fun games. I miss the games Jonathan and I use to play with them when we lived in Utah. Ainsley was very helpful to Grandpa Great in his garden as well. She really enjoyed the flowers. I also got to see my Best Friend Jen. Her family drove down from Idaho and we went to the Zoo, farmers market, out to eat, and swam together. Oh and can't forget a little bit of shopping. I loved seeing her! And her hubby pretty much let us take over and he was such a sport. He knew how much this meant to us that he let us have tons of girly time and sitting by each other time! THANKS TORY!! Once back at my sisters the kids played out side a lot. They got so dirty that Ainsley had to be stripped down out side and taken to the bath more then once a day. But she had so much fun. The older kids made a fort which we ended up naming the "Hobo Tent" because we couldn't believe they slept out there in that. It looked like if the wind blew just right it would all come crushing down. They slept in the whole time we were there. Plus it was freezing out side but they braved it out and did it. One night Grandpa decided to scare the kids and they were all freaked out. It was so funny. Overall we had a great time seeing my sister. Plus one day I got some alone sister time with Helene and took her to one of her Dr. appointments and then did some shopping which is always fun.
