Hall Family Reuion 2011

For the Hall Family Reuion we had lots of fun things to do.  Robert and I made pinatas but I also got help to decorate them because they took a long time.  We made them with a balloon and newspaper and then decorated them with tissue paper.  Everyone got a turn hitting them, and the kids were excited to get tons of candy.

We had a great time playing in the water.  Brock and Arlene brought their canoe and John and Holly borrowed a couple canoes from their ward.  We went to Harriman Park and we had the perfect camp site.  The kids played in the water everyday and we all had a blast. 

We also had to do a skit.  Our skit went like this. 

Robert and I were out fishing and I had to help him bait his hook because he was scared of the warm.  When I was baiting it, he said "ooh I caught a sucker" ha ha I know.  Then we got our fishing pools and went fishing.  First we caught Matthew but he was to big so we threw him back.  Then we caught Dyllon but he was to small so we threw him back, then we caught Brianna and she was just right so we kept her.  Robert grabbed her by the hair (gently) and I took a picture with a little camera.  It was a lot of fun!

Hogle Zoo

We went to Hogle Zoo with the kids.  They had a lot of fun.  It was the first time we had been with them. 

This Elephant got a lot of attention from the kids.  You would press a button and it would make noise and spray water out its trunk.

During the same trip we went and saw Kennecot mine.  The kids enjoyed looking over and seeing all the big trucks and tractors working hard.  This big wheel was pretty awesome.

BOB (not Robert)

So my dad was wanting to get a dog.  One day he went outside and saw this dog out in the field.  He called him over and started petting him and then he went and bought food and starting feeding it.  He had really sore paws and we don't know where he came from.  My dad looked in the paper everyday to see if somone posted about a lost dog and no one ever did, so my dad got his dog and his name is Bob.  Funny thing is, is that it is the breed that my dad wanted because we grew up with Australian Shepherds.  He is a good dog.

APRICOTS

We went out to Malta and picked a whole bunch of apricots at Roberts Uncles house.  I made apricot jam, apricot syrup, and just bottled apricots.  It was a lot of fun.  I had help of course from a great friend. 

My Mother-in-Law

So this picture was taken in June of 2011.  My in-laws were up visiting and I wanted a picture with my mother-in-law Rachel.  Oh, I love this women.  She is sooooo very talented.  She loves to cook and I have learned so much from her.  She is kind, loving, caring, funny, fun, and just AMAZING!

Baby Lynlee

My friend Kristy had her baby 1 day after Briannas Birthday.  May 22nd!  Her name is Lynlee and she is soooooo cute!

June 2011 Softball

Brianna played softball for the first time.  The coach pitches up until she is in 4th grade.  She LOVES it!  She does pretty well also.
