Family Times

Every year we have a Wilson family reunion and this year Kyle and I were in charge of it. It rotates to each sibling each year, the nice part is that we will not be in charge again for another seven years! So Nice!! So we thought what should we do... so we headed off to Pioche for a fun filled weekend! While I brought my camera I failed to take any pictures... honestly I know! Here are a couple of the family pictures we took while we were all together, don't mind the writing its the proof, I have yet to order... I know I am terrible. So ya, here is the whole clan! Keep in mind this is just siblings and there children. Needless to say it can get a little crazy at times, but we managed to go the whole weekend with only ticking off one grumpy old man... considering there are 23 kids 13 and under, that's not too bad!

Here are all the grandchildren, my parents have had at least one a year since they started coming, pretty crazy huh? My mom thought this would be the first year without a grand baby... ha, little did she know... we couldn't let her down! Next year though its all on Richard...
We did a lot of fun things including painting t-shirts, a big hit with the kids, playing golf, more for the boys, swimming, which was kind of a bust, it was soo cold, playing at the park, kite flying, craft time, movie night, 23 kids with popcorn, not pretty! We had also planned on paint balling but the weather didn't cooperate, so we had rousing game of kickball instead, the kids dug it!



I was also able to go spend some time with my sisters and my mom, this is why I was gone for Kyles b-day. We all met up at Bernices house while the boys went hiking, Kyle didn't get to go, poor guy, but someones got to make the money! So it was four adults with nine kids in one house and surprisingly it wasn't that crazy... only when we had the brilliant idea to go to target... ya it wasn't pretty! While we were up there we went to the Hill Air force Museum, it was fun and even better, free!Here is the crew, my niece Kelsie loves babies and nothing made her more happy then to take care of Sophie, which I was cool with!:)






My cute Bailey! They have a really fun activity center for the kids where they get to go and dress up and play in an airplane and take pictures, its lots of fun. Here is Bailey doing a little moon walking, notice the "silly face" she loves to make!



Here she is in the plane getting ready for take off! That's my nephew Andrew and my Niece Marissa in back!


The kids had a blast they love spending time together! I think we all had fun, my favorite part is when we got a couple babysitters and ditched the kids to go out to lunch... did I say that out loud?

Eva, your family is huge!!! I can't believe how big all the kids are getting, and how many of them I haven't ever met. I about died when I saw Kelsie... Anyway, sounds like fun!
