Beaumont Reunion 2012

The pictures I have for this post so don't do it justice. The weekend we spent with Luke's family up north was such a blast. It was in the middle of July and the entire family was able to be together. We didn't do anything fancy, but any time we get together with all of them we have such a blast, and to be honest one of the best parts was eating amazing food all weekend. We did family pics, had a swim/water day, went to utah lake, did a talent show, and really just enjoyed each others company. So even though I wish I had cuter pictures, here are some that kinda show our fun. Launching water balloons! I think the big boys had more fun than the kids!

some of the cousins all lined up

These next few are from Utah Lake.

Chalyn did her cute dance for the talent show and was still darling of course.

We played frisbee and volleyball at the park for a few hours which was super fun!

Fourth of July

We stayed home the morning of the fourth this year because Chalyn did a little summer dance class and so she got to be in the parade. This is the first time I have done any dance and she absolutely loved it. She was the smallest in her class but she totally kept up with all the big girls and she was especially excited to get to be in the parade. I was worried the heat and marching would wear her out quick but she made it all the way smiling and loved every minute of it! I was one proud mama!! This is right before the parade when we dropped her off.

It seemed like we had to wait forever to see chalyn and Beck kind of got sick of watching for her.

super handsome boys

Beckham wasn't very aggresive with the other kids and the candy. He would just wait till they were all done and then bolt for the middle of the street to get the run over pieces. Ha Ha oh well he was happy about it and Luke started taking him out there to be safe.

They finally came, and I was impressed with their uniformity since they were so small

She was seriously DARLING!

She jumped in the back of the truck the last half a block just cuz she thought it looked like fun she said.

When i got to her to pick her up

After the parade we decided to head to Beaver to hang out for the day and we ended up at Kents Lake fishing. It was perfect weather and we went with Lukes sister and her family which made it super fun. We even caught quite a few fish!

Luke's always so good to help the kids catch their own fish

This is some serious reeling! It makes me laugh!

Since lots of the fireworks were cancelled this year we decided to head for home but as we were passing parowan they had theirs going so we pulled over and sat on the car to show them to the kids. We are a little cooky but we have lots of fun.

story time with Grandpa

Swinging at Grandpa and Grandma Fullmer's

I sure wouldn't choose to sleep in this position, but I guess it worked for them

We've done lots of water play days

Beckham gets a big boy bed! (we didn't even bother converting it, just took one of the sides off and he thinks its the greatest thing!)

And summer just wouldn't be summer without a lemonade stand!
