family reunions 2010

towards the end of our trip to utah we had 2 family reunions with my family :)

Tanner Reunion:

with the tanners we had a golf tournament in the morning and then a picnic in the afternoon. it was great to see everyone. it was a great day for golf - ty was on a team with my dad and our nephew tanner, i was on a team with my mom, my uncle paul and my cousin tori. paul wasn't sure about being on a team with all women at first...

little did he know we would come through for him in a big way.

so...as it turns out when you do something well your mom still like to to take your picture, even if you are almost 30!

*little known fact about me i love golf....love, love, love it.....and someday if i have a little more time and $ - plan to spend some serious time on the golf course.

memorial day

Here we have a few pictures from Memorial Day weekend.

We stayed around town and did some fun things as a family. We told the kids they could camp out in the backyard....but it rained later on that night, so they roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and we set up the tent in the basement instead. On Monday Tyler made up an "Around the Town Scavenger Hunt". Basically he made a list of different clues for the kids - each clue led us somewhere in town and we got to do something fun at each stop....fairly creative of him I must say! :) It was a fun, relaxing weekend.

Here's Maggie eating S'mores....she was unsure about the stickiness, hence the grumpy face.

looking a little happier about it here
they got a thumbs up review from Jaxon
and Lia
ty...attempting to let Maggie help roast without falling into the fire

the rest of the pictures are from Badger Sports Park -
which was the last stop on our Scavenger Hunt
We played some mini golf, arcade games and Ty took the big kids on the go-karts :)


Sis golfing
There was music playing on the mini golf course - so Maggie was dancing to it...on the rocksLia and Jaxon somehow both managed to win the 250 ticket grand prize on the Pull My Finger game....we were rolling in tickets between the two of them - it was crazy!

here is the excitement over the big ticket winnings

jax shooting hoops

and some mini bowling

Maggie and I watching the troops on the Go-Karts

Go-Kart action

t-ball

Jaxon signed up for a Neenah city t-ball class this summer. He is interested in many other sports, but this was the only one we felt was safe for his head and neck....so t-ball it was! :)

He had a good time & had a couple of good friends in his class, which was a bonus.

Here are a few pics of the man in action!

It was fun to watch you play Jax - next year coach pitch - woohoo! :)

Father's Day (yes I'm behind)

As you can see I am months behind in my blogging efforts. I am just getting around to posting some pics of Father's Day. We were actually in Utah over Father's Day, so we celebrated here at home a few days early. We made Ty some dinner, and a candy-gram.....

What more can a guy ask for right?

He is such an amazing DAD and husband~we are so blessed to have him around.

Lots of love sweetie - you are the greatest.

Here is his awesome poster hanging on the shelves ready to greet him when he gets home.

luvs from lia
and Maggie
lia made a drawing for dad

he enjoyed them :)

i love this picture....definitely a few of my favorite things
