4th of July at the Cabin!

Last week, Jordan and I spent time with my family at our annual reunion at my parent's cabin in Oakley. It was so fun to see everyone because a lot of my family, I only see once or twice a year! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for such a great time!!

The Fam.

Oops, left the umbrella in there! Yes, we took family pics on the only rainy day up there! (ps. notice how everyone's looking at the camera and smiling, except Gavin (front row, dead center) who is drilling for gold...ha!! So funny!!)

The cabin from behind--how...serene it looks! (but not inside our mad house!)

Our Little family :)
There was a better picture than this where Claire wasn't all squished...but sadly, her massive, size-of-her-head, 4th of July bow was covering Jordan's face....oh well! It was worth it!! SO CUTE!

Some fun pictures and memories:

*Hanging with Ann-Marie and Ian. I don't get to see Annie and Nathan and their kids but once a year, so it's always good when they come!!

*Seeing how much fun the kids were having doing their crafts! The girls made 4th of July watches with Auntie Michelle

*Watching Baby Mama - that movie NEVER gets old.... in fact, "It's still funny!!" (that's a line from the movie...)

*Grabbing and kissing little Gavin against his will

*Listening to little Nieve talk. She is soooooo cute!! And has the cutest little...what is it, a lisp? Anyway, LOVE this pic. She is a babe.

*Watching Claire grab at Joe's whiskers, and seeing him love on Claire!

*Playing Mexican Train Dominoes with the family (I have no clue as to what Fill and Michelle are doing in that picture, but it doesn't look pretty..... - ok Michelle you look pretty, but Fill? Scary face is more like it!)

*Joe beating us all by thousands of points in the dice game

*Playing Boggle with my only worthy opponent, Michelle :) You are the only one that challenges me!!

*Riding on the ATVs with my hunk of burnin' love ;)

*"Talent Night" with me having to play Pachelbel's Cannon (TERRIBLY, since I didn't practice enough) and hearing Kaylin sing the "I Need a Nap" song.

*Seeing everyone just eat Claire up!! It was awesome :) Isn't it great when other people love your child too???

*Going to the bath-water-warm Kamas indoor swimming pool. So fun!

*Horribly singing and dancing to "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base, for Karaoke night, and having Bec as my backup dancer! As you can see in the video above, we're AWESOME.... esp. because preggie Bec was tight casted for the part seeing as she is in reality wanting "another baby" :)

*Getting to hear Phil's "I Will Survive" karaoke number again--Huh-LA-RIOUS.

*Hearing Andrew's "Sweet Caroline" karaoke number....LOVE the cheesy winks and "da da da...." bit

*Nathan's amazing "Nessen Dorma" Ha! Very nice...

*Making snow cones every day and Kaylin not wanting to put ANY high-fructose corn syrup...I mean, "snow cone syrup" on hers...she just wanted plain ice! So funny...

*Making homemade ice cream every day!!

*Joe putting WAY too much gel in little Zach-Zach's hair!

*Being woken up by Claire at the crack of dawn (ok, 5:30-6:00 am...but that's early when you went to bed at 1!) and hangin' out with the other early-riser-by-his-own-accord, Corbin!

*Having the extended Gollaher family up for the 4th for a BBQ and Trina's baby shower! (Here's Claire with great-grandma Fern!)
