This past weekend we went to Kam's family Because they had one missionary return from Macon Georgia That is who my son Josiah is named after and his middle name is Macon after his mission....it was so neat for Josiah to meet his name sake... there's also a missionary leaving for the Guatemala mission he enters the MTC tomorrow... so needless to say it was a big event for my husbands family... at one point they had 5 missionaries out at one time... and everyone was home but one who is serving in the D.R....so they decided to have a reunion weekend with lots of activities.. they had a dance on friday nite, games at the park on sat, followed by swimming, then sat nite they had a dance on their tennis court in the backyard... Josiah was dancing all night long and wasn't even shy to get out there and shake it.... he was so funny and definitely the highlight... they split the family in 1/2 and had a dance off... our team won... it was so much fun.... on Sunday we had 2 wards to attend to hear the talks of the missionaries.... then after that they had a big umu (its like a tongan oven underground) they food was really good.... and so was the company.... after a family testimony meeting they had awards to give out.... from the weekend... Josiah of course won for all around best dancer kala one for best mexican dancer and jayden won best cartwheels...Ty wasnt in to doing anything this year... he is getting to old.. =(.... after that we headed home... and didn't get home til midnight... all around it was a good weekend.... and I am so grateful for the examples that our missionaries are setting for my children in hopes they all have the desire to serve the lord one day....

What a fabulous heritage you have. Kam's family are obviously a great strength to you. Fun!
You have the funnest family get togethers! And about Ty, all I can do is shake my head and wonder how he even got that many on his face. You know, that's something I would have thought Jayden would have done! LOL =) Crazy kid! If nothing else you can save the picture for when he gets married! I am impressed though that he even thought about it and stuck with it - literally! LOL =)
cute pix!... your guys' get togethers sound like LOADS of FUN!... There's nothing like family!...
Happiness to you always!...
