Family Reunion

This weekend was the 2nd Annual Wray Family Reunion. We had family from all over come. The ones how traveled the longest was My Aunt Sharon and Uncle Bill, along with my cousin Heidi her hubby Doug and their 7 beautiful girls. Other family came from Utah, the rest was from Idaho. Friday night we met at my Aunt Joann's in Shelly for a BBQ which was so yummy and a great way to kick off the reunion. Saturday around 11 we met at the Shelly Swimming Pool/park. The kids were so excited to be able to go swimming after they ate. We had another auction that went very well and we earned money for next years reunion.

To end the reunion, tomorrow (those who haven't left for their journey home) we are having breakfast at Aunt Joann's.

I'm so sad to see family members leave, but I am so greatful that we are doing this every year. And can't wait for another wonderful reunion next year (at Heise Hot Springs)!!

(I will post pictures later for all of you who are at the edge of your seat wanting more!!)

My Thrusday Night

Drew had to work until 7 so I went with my Mom and Dave. I think there are more and more people there every year. It was so fun and so yummy!! I love that I.F. has things to do when it starts to get warm.... I now just have to wait for the 4th of July fun!!

So fun! You all should make one!

New Background

I found this new background on my favorite background site Leelou Blogs (link on the left). I love patriotic things and I believe this fits me perfectly. I'm so excited for the 4th of July this year. It is my favorite holiday. So fun... and so far it looks like it might actually be warm this year as summer weather seems to be approaching. (I better knock on wood)

1 Month Old!

I can't believe my baby girl is already a month old! It has gone by so fast! She is starting to get rolls on her legs and a double (maybe triple depending how her head is) chin. She still has all her beautiful red hair and blue eyes. I fall in love with her more and more everyday. I never really understood the love a mother could have for her children until Andrew came, and I was so worried about loving her the same, it is amazing how much love you, as a mother, have to share with all your kids. Which makes me happy to know if there are more beautiful spirits waiting to come to our family they will all be loved the same.

Happy One Month Zoey, We Love You!!

Na Na Na Na Na Batman!

He is taking a break from crime! No worries folks... he is in safe hands!

Happy Birthday Jamie!!

Hope you had an awesome birthday! Thanks for all you do!!

Bath time

I know Iam really behind on this Blogging thing but I never realized how busy I would be with 2 kids. Zoey's umbilical cord (what was left of it) fell off on the 18th, five days after she was born so on the 21st she had her 1st bath. She hates being naked so she screamed until she got into the warm water... loved the bath... and as soon as it was time to get out the screaming started again. So it is good she likes bath time... it's the inbetween that isn't enjoyable.

Cooling Off

So when I open the fridge to take things out Andrew likes to close the door once I am done, so I was getting stuff out to make him lunch and he came behind me to what I thought was to close the door only to see this when I turned around to open the door to put things away.
