Sibling Reunion 2014, Montana and Jon in town!

This year we planned our sibling reunion around my brother Dean's stake conference.  We knew he'd have to be in town that week-end.  It turns out he was released that week-end!  We were all together on Friday night for a few pictures.

Here we are, all 10 kids with our parents.

Dean with Miles.

Braden and Olivia, Erika and Nora.

Nancy is the great train driver.

Me and my twin sister, Marianne, Connie and Rob.


An oldest to youngest line up for Grandpa Bay.  Of course he always did it by height not age.

Saturday morning a few of us made to a session at the best temple.

Then we went to Prospector park for fun and pizza.

Poor Kent was stuck in his temple attire.


fun and games.

We wore coordinating attire.

We met for dinner at Zupas on the way to the adult session of stake conference, which was one of the most enjoyable meetings I've ever attended.
Sunday night we met for FHE at Mom's house.

Anne was the only grandchild there.

We had to fill out update sheets.

Dad and my brother named after him.  They look a lot alike, eh?


All of us except my sister Connie who had to leave before the FHE.

Heidi and Steph visit me and I visit Chapmans

I thought I was crazy, but it turns out I'm inspired.  When I bought my ticket to Denver I thought I was flying in the morning, but actually I was flying at night.  Turns out that Steph and Heidi flew in that afternoon and if I'd left in the morning I'd have missed them!  I'll see if I can find the great video of Heidi walking to share.

Jacob was very pleased with the early birthday clothes.  He wanted to wear the batman pjs all day and night!

yup here he is at IHOP in them.

Sophie and Tessa are on a community summer league swim team.  Tessa is precomp, but Sophie has meets this year!  I got to watch her swim.  She is doing great!  Here she is waiting to swim, watching the Lego Movie.

Her league has the kids "heat up" a few heats ahead.  Here she is getting ready for her first event.

I'll try to share the video of her swim.  Here's the kids playing inbetween events.

After the meet we stopped at McDonalds and then had time for some short naps before going to see "How to Train A Dragon 2".  Then we stopped at the Natural History Museum on our way to the airport.  A funfilled Saturday.  

Heidi finds the toy drawer.

Such a doll!

Elliott wants a crazy picture with her mom.
