Family Reunion!




Hmmm... I was really trying to be good at blogging but clearly not the case. August has been busy for us. The day I went back to work I was offered a promotion so I'm now a service writer. I really like it a lot better than answering the phones. The days go really fast which is surprising because I now work from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM instead of 8:30-5:30. I love getting off at 5 tho. That half hour makes a big difference. Chandler still loves his job. He sets up his shop this week so its going to be really busy for him! He started playing on his work softball team or something and I think he's having a lot of fun with that. It keeps him entertained. We went to my family reunion this weekend and it really was so much fun! We got to spend the whole weekend on the four wheelers and camping and fishing. It was really a great time, only I couldn't fish because I don't have a fishing license and I didn't want to pay the fine. It really was a fun weekend though. Chandler and I decided that we need to get a truck and a 4 wheeler now though. It was such a fun weekend that we want to do it all the time now. We won't be doing it anytime soon though because right now our main focus is buying a house. That is numero uno on my list. So it will be awhile but its something that we think would be fun. My cousins have this awesome cabin up Moroe Mtn which is like a 2 hour drive, but its a really nice cabin. They are huge bronco fans & my cousin Chad and his wife Jen decorated their room Bronco's. Now I don't really like the Bronco's but this is a pretty cool room I have to admit.

Can't go wrong with a flat screen TV

Awesome bar mirror

There is a mini fridge in the corner but you can't see it. Basically if you were a Bronco's fan I would say you'd never leave this room.


My Uncle Guy has a zipline over at his cabin and the kids had a blast. Even my mom rode it!







It was a torrential down pour for about an hour on Saturday right as we were about to start a horse shoes tournament so we all sat under the tent and did our family auction instead of sit and stare at each other. I finally got one of the pieces that my Uncle Guy makes (this one was a cookie jar) and it is so amazing! I'm so excited to have my own kitchen so I can put it out. I just love it. My cousin Ryan's wife Amber brought her beautiful great dane puppy up and she was like the best dog ever! She was even taller than Bailey!

 After it stopped raining we went to Manning Res to catch some fish and enjoy a ride. Bailey didn't catch anything but a couple rocks even though the fish were jumping like crazy. Brennon caught one that was about 20 inches. It was pretty awesome!

I was just hoping he would fall in. No luck though.

All in all it was a great weekend. Looking forward to the next one :)
