Shining On...

So blogger was acting up so this just didn't happen yesterday. But it is working today. So here we go. We had a fantastic weekend. While we didn't really do anything reunion related we did see so many of our friends. There was lots of photo-taking which means lots of photos...
And I finally got some time to meet this little one. She is a whoppin' 7 months old and so mellow and happy.
I wasn't the only one who was happy to finally meet her. Mazie was ecstatic to help feed her...
And Jamie was happy to have someone smaller than her besides Jacob and Fisher...
We saw lots of friends over the weekend. Jacob caught up with Hayden...
Fisher and Mazie "talked" on the play phones...
We even caught most of them all together...
This beautiful lady was enjoying some dessert. This is the picture after the one I promised to not post. Love you Katie!
There was lots of catching up. So many smiling faces...
Ron got his work out. The girls wanted him to hold them all the time. The love Ron!
Playing. Lots of playing. By the kids...
and by the adults...
Lots of reading...
We made a trip to the zoo.
Roaring by the lions...
And feeding the birds. This bird landed on JJ's head while she was calming Mazie down from a bird landing on her (which made her scream really loud which made all the the other birds scatter).
Mazie apparently got over the whole scray bird thing...
This is Jacob's favorite thing to do. He could stay in this place all day!
Again, lots of catching up...
And this little man made me laugh. He called Jacob "Jaybup" and me "Egg". He has the best eyes and had the funniest meltdowns. I can say that because he isn't mine!
The Ladies...
The Boys...
On Monday when we had to say our goodbyes to the Killins, the girls were actually ok. Making sure Ron got in one more workout...
The big kids even sat nicely on the couch...
Then it was time for hugs so the girls could get to school on time...
Alla is the best knock-'em-over-kisser ever!
Or maybe she should be called shove-'em-into-the-corner-kisser!
JJ and I had a quiet afternoon on Saturday. The dads took the big kids (read: non-nappers) to the football game. JJ and I kept the boys here and while they took naps, we enjoyed the quiet. It was a loud (very loud) but extremely fun weekend.
It was great to catch up and see so many of you over the weekend. We had so much fun. Hopefully it won't be until the next reunion that we see you!
Thanks, Killins Family, for staying with us! It was so much fun. We miss you.

Oh, Megan I will repay you someday for that picture. :-)

We had such a nice time hanging out with you! Thanks again for making us feel at home!

Hey, it was the one after the picture I told you I wouldn't post. I didn't say anything about not posting the other pictures. The one I promised to not show is blackmail worthy! HAA It really was great to see you.

It's so fun to see your adventures :) I fully expected some jumping, though. I thought J was going to pass the torch...

oh so sorry susie, that would have really been swell - as you can imagine, we were way too busy to remember the important things, like jumping!

egg, it was awesome. we loved every minute.
