K. Naylor Reunion...PHOTO DUMP!

We had our family reunion on Saturday June 8. Everyone was able to come Friday evening...some later than others. For me the reunion started when I got there. It was so exciting to see everyone. Brian and Summer were here for his break from classes. They came bearing good news! (I can share this because they've already publicly shared.) They are expecting baby number three in December!

So, on to the reunion...


We spent Friday night visiting, catching up, and watching Emily and Jeremiah get the meat going for Saturday's dinner...ok some did help them but I just watched. ;)

Late-nite chillin'



Working on the meat, yum-o!

Decorations - FUUUN!




We had a scheduled list of meals and who would be preparing each one. We had breakfast and then got the day ready for the activities. The activities were mainly for the little kids but we adults had to get in there and join in some as well!
Getting breakfast going

Bean bag toss

3-legged Races



 Tree climbing?

 We had a few arrows from target practice get stuck up in the tree.

We called on Tarzan to get them!

Break from regular activities for some wrestling. (Think Jeremiah has Darin.)

Needle in the Haystack



 Mom was able to get a straw bale from a friend. Various toys were hidden in the pile of straw. Kids dug through hunting for some treasures!

We had a scrumptious lunch then a milk and cookie bar for dessert. I had a lot of fun putting this together!  





 We also had random drawing give aways. It didn't work out as well as planned. Once one kids name was drawn all the kids wanted a prize then as well. So I just did all the kids names and handed out their prizes and did the adult drawings throughout the day. :) 

Swimming time to cool off!


Olivia, Makaela, Lindsey
Mom made all the little girls matching skirts and the boys matching shorts. I never did get a picture of all of them wearing them. 

Out for a hay ride! 
Under the falls...

Next stop...dinner! and more giveaways...
the last gift given was an anniversary gift to my parents. I compiled testimonies of our family; siblings, spouses, children, and my parents.
They were so surprised and touched. I loved putting the book together with all the pictures and testimonies. It's definitely a spirit boosting book!
Happy 37th Anniversary Dad & Mom! (June 25th)

The last activity of the day...Pinata!






 

Thanks for coming!

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
