Amy's parents 50th wedding anniversary party!

Friday morning, I worked my self into a headache stressing to get the house is some order, pack everyone, and bake some muffins to take with us. I told Matt I wanted to leave by 1pm, but he thought I said I wanted him to get off work at 1. We didn't end up leaving until 3pm. We got to my sister's house (Kairlee) in Riverton at 7pm. We were actually there right on time. My other siblings arrived just after we did. Marni was already there just taking the first pizza out of the oven. We had an enjoyable evening eating Marni's pizza and visiting with everyone.






(The picture on the left is my immediate family and on the one on the right is my parents' grand and great grandkids.) Then next day, Saturday was the anniversary party. My sister Jen did most of the preparations. We started the evening with family pictures. My parent's hired a photographer, so I don't have all the pics yet but I do have some from my camera. At the party I say several cousin that I hadn't seen in years and that was the whole point of the party. My mom didn't even eat anything until it was over. We all had an enjoyable time, especially the kids getting to play with their cousins.

(This is a picture of my cousins Kris and Aaron. We would go visit them every year growing up whenever we would travel to Utah.)
On Sunday a lot of us went to church with Jen in Orem. There was enough food left over from the party to feed us all a nice lunch after church. I managed to get a picture of all my kids with the cousin that is closest to their age. Jileigh and Phoebe, Talon and Milley (only 35 minutes a part), Angelique and Sabra, Jaren and Silas, Safia and Tabitha, and Beauchene and Lottie.









Sunday afternoon we went back to Shanna's house (Matt's cousin in Provo) where we were staying and had dinner and let our kids play with her kids. I left Jileigh at Jen's to play with Phoebe longer. I went back to get her at 9pm and ended up staying until 10:30 just visiting with Marni and Becky (Aaron's wife) until Matt called me to come back because Beauchene wanted me to put him to sleep. (Yes he is stilllllll nursing.)
