First Family Reunion

Saturday night, we had our first family reunion with my side of the family. Maybe we decided it was time for an official reunion because we are all now married??? Who knows why, but it was lots of fun!

We started the evening at my parents' house for dinner. It was way yummy food, and always good company.

Then we headed over to the church for some "Minute To Win It" games. The adults were paired with a child so they could help them with the games. It worked out great, and it was so fun to watch the adults with the younger ones.

Here is some of the madness! Some of these pictures will make great blackmail some day! ;)


Nikole was paired with Kate. Here they are before their first game!



Danika is just barely walking, so I had to snap a shot of her cute little self wandering around the gym.



Tai watching McKenzie attempting to get 6 penne noodles onto a linguine noodle.



Hayden watching as Andrew tries to sort M&M's.



Jordan helping Kailie try to figure out how to stack the apples.



Andy shooting rubber bands at a pyramid of empty soda cans in order to knock them off the table. He looks like a great shot!



Andrew helping Hayden stack the apples. Andrew was so cute to explain things to Hayden and help him with every game. Hayden ate it up and is still talking about is awesome uncle.



Brooke trying to blow a bubble across the room and through a hoop!



Lana was quite the cheerleader! She got so excited watching her partner, Brooke, play the games.



My mom, successfully got 6 penne noodles on her linguine noodle. (She did have a little help from her cute partner, Brielle.)



Sara and Rylee shaking their booties to get ping pong balls out of the tissue boxes that were
attached to their waists.



Andrew showing Hayden how to properly shoot a rubber band!



Lana trying to sort the M&M's as fast as she could!



Jordan taking a picture of me, taking a picture of him!



Rylee, Sara, and Kate as Rylee gets ready to attempt "Penny Hose."



Bill, Andy, and Danika. Bill was my helper for the night, and didn't get to participate in many of the games. He was Mr. Timer Man while I was Mrs. Picture Lady. :)



My dad attempting to get the penne noodles onto the linguine noodle. Check out that concentration!



My mom flinging a ping pong ball into a laundry basket, using the towel. Look how cute little Brielle is!



Hayden throwing a water bottle at the table, trying to land it right-side-up. I don't think that one is going to stick!


Mike and my dad flinging ping pong balls into the basket.

Cute little Isaak. He wanted nothing other than to get his treat that I had set out at each station for anyone who tried the game. He is so adorable! I asked if I could take his picture, and he did this cute little pose. Then he asked me to take more. He is so fun!

Brooke, also trying to string those darn noodles!

Sara, attempting to get an Oreo from her forehead into her mouth, using only her face muscles. Classic picture!

Andrew helping Hayden stack the cups. Those cups were a little big for those cute small hands.

The cute pair, Brooke and Lana.

Nikole attempting the penny hose game! What a good sport!

Andrew and Hayden shakin' it!

Sara trying to move the blue cup through the stack of red cups. Don't drop them, Sara!

Wow, Andy! That is just the look for you!

Jordan showing us his moves!

Kate showing us how it's done. The little ones could really shake it!

Jordan and Nikole being the sweet aunt and uncle as they help Kailie and Kate. Our kids have the best aunts and uncles!

It was lots of fun, and we had a lot of laughs. Thanks to my awesome family for a fun night! Let's do it again soon!
