YEE-HAW!!

WARNING: FAMILY REUNION PICTURES....really This post if for the sole purpose for my SIBLINGS Who did Not come..(I won't name any names) and for mom and dad.


JENNi and I represented the HARTLEY FAMILY.

Here are some highlights. JENNI has all the rodeo pictures so stay tuned.




Soon to be hitched couple. Derek and Stephanie. such a cute couple


There were three pools. THe kids loved it.


Hanging out at the pool. It was so good to see and talk to everyone.

Had to take this picture.


Testimony night. mom there were plenty of tears shed. everyone missed you guys so much.



Here are the three hanagains..cooper was camping with his dad so he was not there to add to the excitement.


Jenni and brooke. sorry jenni I know you are going to hate this picture.
so there you have it. The kids had a blast even though it was only for one day and one night they loved it! I think every one's favorite part was the barrel racing. another post.
I realized when I was there how important family reunions are and I so thankful for the posterity I have. I have a lot to say on this subject but I think that is best left for my journal....so I will leave it that.

BUT next year we have to PUMP up our numbers!!!

utah trip...

My sister Jenni and I loaded up the kids and went on a little road trip to Utah. Unfortunately I hardly ever pulled out my camera to document this trip Zion. Ya know it was just one of those trips that I was feeling good if I got my "underwear" on right. So sorry for the lack of pics.

Thank goodness for my adventurous sister because I would never do the crazy things she talks me into. Every time we go on a trip together with our kids I always tell her: "Jenni this is the LAST time I ever do this" ....but then six months later she has me in my Tahoe driving to the Promised Land with four high maintenance precious children in the backseat. But I have to say we always have some really memorable times. WE laugh until we almost pee our pants (darn kids), get kicked out Ikea's playland..I won't mention any names, oh and the best part we got to spend time family.






The is temple Dedication in South Jordan. We thought were doing our children a favor taking them to this open house. UMM Maybe not.... but the temple was really beautiful.


Had to hit the zoo.



Asleep at last. 4 down in four minutes.


Thanks Jenni for another great adventure. and I am still saying to no to Disney, but maybe I will change my mind.....
