This year was my Mom's turn to host the Annual Wade Family Reunion. Everyone made their way up to Washington to the "Moberg Acre". It was lots of fun! Everyone was there except for Eric's family. We spent a lot of time in the water, since it was above 100 degrees most of the weekend. I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. Everyone arrived on Thursday, and settled in. Friday we just relaxed and let the kids play on all the water toys. Saturday the boys got to go paintballing, and the girls got to go to lunch at Dana's while the men watched the kids. My Mom planned this really fun movie night for the kids, while the women did a craft. We even decided to try something new. Every family get together we wait until the last minute to take pictures of all the family. This time we decided to have an organized planned time for family pictures. They turned out really good thanks to our neighbor across the street. We got to take everyone to the Aquatic Center where Jess and my Cousin Tanner did some mean belly flops off of the high dive. Everyone took off on Sunday, and Ryan, April, and Emmet where here all day, so our fun even continued on until the late hours. All in all I think that the reunion was a huge success. My mom did a great job. We didn't run out of food, and thanks to Dad we got a huge hair ball out of my Cousin Halley's hair. : )

Conner and Aunt Kendra hanging out while people are arriving and getting settled in.

The huge slip and slide was a huge hit! I think that the kids thought that we had our own little amusement park in our back yard between the huge slip and slide, and the hot tub, big swing set, volleyball court that we mowed out of the grass, and our blow up jumping castle. They had to have been worn out for a whole week at least after this reunion! : )

Conner spending some quality time with Great Grandpa Wade! Conner loves him to be entertained by him. It's pretty funny listening to Gramps making sounds trying to get Conner to laugh. It works everytime! : )

I am not sure why Colby was walking around in his underwear. It was such a reunion thing to do.

Conner absolutely loves the trampoline. Of course we don't jump very high, but he just laughs and laughs when he bounces even just a little bit!

This is my Aunt's cute dog Lexie. She had a tough time at the Reunion. Taylor was holding her on the trampoline, and decided to throw her from the tramp to the deck. She's such a little dog that when she landed she hurt her leg. She limped on it for two days. My Aunt took her to the vet because we were worried that she broke her leg. Thank goodness, she just bruised it really bad. By the last day of the reunion she was back to her old self. She's such a sweet dog. I think that Jess is in love with her! : )

Tay and Mom were watching the volleyballers. We had some pretty good players. Jess, Scott, and Ryan were the champion beach volleyball team at the Aquatic Center Volleyball Tournament. They were pretty proud of the little sacks of candie that they won. : )

My champion volleyballer.

My cousin Aubree watching the game.

Here's Morgan. What a cutie!

This picture has kind of a funny story. All the adults were playing games, and the kids were just kind of running around playing with all of the toys. All of a sudden the kids were gone and no were to be found. We borrowed a RV from a family friend for the reunion, and just parked it next to the house. I knew that they were in there, so I went to check it out. I could hear them from outside, so I walked up slowly. I think that they saw me coming, because I opened the door just to see them staring at me looking like little angels. I asked them what they were doing, and they said that they were playing house. They told me to come back and check on them in 1 mile. : ) Well after checking on them numerous times I came to the conclusion that the girls were doing what they do best, bossing the boys around. The girls were actting like they were their moms and they were telling the boys that they needed to go to bed. The last time that I checked on them I told them that I wanted to get a picture of all of them, and believe it or not they grouped together just like they look in the picture. What cuties!

Here's Elizabeth with Lexie the dog. Elizabeth has had crystal blue eyes since she was little. What a cutie!

Conner had so much fun. The little girls loved him! They liked to pretend that they were his Mom. It was so cute, they just kept saying how they were all going to be Mom's someday!

Here's Kolby being Kolby.

Lindsay loves to ham it up for the camera. Everytime that I saw her she would ask me to take her picture.

Michael was just enjoying the slide.

Here's Jaya playing on the swing set.

Getting ready for the paintball war.

Jess and my cousin Ben getting their gear ready!

Early Saturday morning all the guys got to go out paintballing. They had to get out early before it got way too hot. They were gone for a good four hours. They really had a tons of fun. I think that that was the reunion highlight for them. Jess was pretty excited because we got him a paintball gun for his birthday and he hadn't been able to use it yet. He even got himself a new camo outfit. I think the camo worked because he said that he only got hit once. : )

Emmet and Conner in their way cute matching hats on their first trip to the Aquatic Center. The line was long, but once we got inside it was worth it to soak up the cool pool!

What a flirt.

A big thank you goes out to Auntie April, because she took these pictures for me at the Aquatic Center. She takes such cute pictures, and Conner just loves to pose for her! It's so cute how much he really does flirt with her! : )

The boys were just enjoying the water. They both took short nap breaks, but they were back in the water as soon as they woke up. It was really hot so it was nice for them to be able to cool off in the water.

The clan! I know Jess and I really need to work on our tan lines. We both look like we're wearing t-shirts.

I love this picture.

The Dad's : )

Emmet is so cute! He kicks his legs in the water like he's swimming. It is so adorable.

Ryan and Emmet.

Aunt Taylor cracking him up!

I just couldn't help myself. We just got back from swimming at the Aquatic Center, and I just love cute babies in their diapers! I think it's their way cute rolls! : )
