Wow! what a crazy summer! We just got back from a Campbell Family Reunion, which is my dad's side of the family. He has 8 brothers and sisters and of course they all have a tons of kids. I think I heard totally there were like 150 people there! That family is seriously so wonderful. They are funny, spiritual, laid back but also very talented people. They have lots of heart and family is very important to them. Love em all!
We just got back from that on Wednesday night and now we are leaving at 6 am tommorow for my brother's baby blessing and then on to Provo Utah on Sunday for my husband's extended family reunion.Fhew! Braden was like, why did we even unpack the suburban if we are just leaving again? I thought.. hum.. I don't know! LOL
Anyhow I took some pictures of my aunts and uncles and some cousins etc and wanted to post just a few of them here on my blog to share with some of my family members.
OH! By the way, we put an offer on a house in Shelley this week and guess what? It was accepted today! It's an older home, 1960's and still has the same original gold carpet and yellow appliances, but wait until we are done with it! There is so much potential in it. It's got almost 3000 sq feet, so lots of room for our kids and it was a really good deal (compared to Boise house prices). We are most excited because it a half block away from my dad's house, across the street from the elementary school and around the corner from the local Park and pool. Did I mentioned Shelley is a very small town with only about 2000 people in it? We love it! Love the small town feel. Anyhow we will live in this house until our we build our first couple of houses (my husband is going to build homes, beautiful homes.. oh I can't wait... ) .. so after we sell 3 or 4, we will find some land and build our dream home.. which will consist of a basement and a giant kitchen! LOL..
Well hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth! Be safe.. I posted a new picture of me, since the one I had was 3 years old! LOL.. My son Parker took it for me, he wouldn't keep the camera straight so it's pretty crooked, but it's me! LOL
Here is a list of poeple in order of picture:
Uncle David, Aunt LInda, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Rose, My Dad and Etahn, my sister Tia, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Doug, My sister Leora (wawa as my kids call her), Allie and her cousin Payton, Little Nova (my baby...), Uncle Les eating watermelon, and Kai, one of my brothers sons.
:) those pics made me smile BIG!! I love those ppl...so fun!! :)
