24th of July Weekend...

My family had our first Kilpack Reunion and this year it was held at our family cabin. Here are some pictures to show some of the high lights of the weekend...

Hemi, Addie, Hannah and my Dad playing in the sand box.


We went on a couple 4-wheeler rides (wish I would had gotten us actually on our ride but this picture will have to do)



My Brother Dallin made a treasure hunt for the 4 oldest grandkids.



Abbey (my niece) found a clue by the "blue room" the old outhouse



At the end they had to dig in the sound box and found their treasure (a couple boxes of candy)



Hemi and I planned a few minute to win it games. One was stacking cups, an other was stacking golf balls, an other was catching pencils and the last one was juggling balloons. (I wish I had more pics of all the games. But these will have to do...)

Here is my dad



My sister Kyacee



Brother Dallin



Sis. In Law Grisel



ME!



and Brother Spencer



for some reason we didn't have water in the cabin so we had to "rough it" and do it all out in nature. :) Here is my mom's brilliant shower and my sister, sister in law and myself showing you how it works.




This is the shower it's self



and us models. hahaha...NO, I'm not really naked, its just to give ya'll the idea of how it all works. :)



And we have our very own grill master. Robby (my bro. in law) is the best on the grill.



 We also went to fireworks but didn't have a camera for that event and the guys + Kaycee went shooting.  I think we could all say we had so much fun!

Happy Birthday Amanee!!

When i was 9 my parents felt like there was someone missing from our family. They ended up adopting the cutest, littlest, 6 year old boy (AMANEE) from Ethiopia. It was the best experience seeing  him come from a country with hardly anything and try/see new things for the first time such as light switches, drinkingfountains, buy clothes at a store and see him hug and kiss his Christmas presents after he opened them. He got his first bike shortly after he got here and he hasn't stopped riding since. Anyone who knows Amanee knows he is such a funny person and very like able. He has so many friends. I can't count how many times I have run in to someone and they find out I am Amanee's sister they usually say "OH MY HECK! You're Amanee's Sister?" and they usually say something about his awesome biking skills. I don't get to see this guy enough but I want to wish ya a Happy Brithday Amonhole!   


My big family (the lighting is so bad!)


Handsome little devil ( had to steel this from his FB because I don't have enough pics of this kid)


His mad biking skills. (an other pic I  had to steel.) :)

End of June Fun!




Our last week of June we had a lot of fun! To start Hannah got a cute little hair cut, she picked herself. :) She asked for it to be short like mine and to have bangs.


Our next adventure...
LAGOON!
Houston wasn't sure what to think about the bumper cars and had no idea how to work them. lol. Poor boy, was scared.




Adelaide enjoyed Lagoon w/the Monkey Hemi won  her.


Hemi sure enjoyed it after he soaked himself in the fountain w/Houston. It was SO hot that was the only way to enjoy yourself.




You can't see us too good but Hannah is in a seat alone with her arms raised and Houston and I are behind her. This was "Bombora" a fun roller coaster that the kids LOVED!


Last but not least WICKED! We had a Wicked good time. :)



The day after Lagoon we headed to Zions and had our Family Reunion. We stayed in a large cabin with all my siblings and my parents. I believe there were 17 of sleeping in the cabin together.
Here are the kids (Hannah, Abbey, Houston and Jaden)


We also went to Bryce Canyon.


Best part of all, getting to spend so many days with my cute little family.
