Life at the Jardine's

IT'S GAME TIME!

There has been a lot of time spent on playing fun games while everyone is here visiting. We like the game in the picture, which is called Ticket to Ride. But we also played a game called Settlers of Catan which is fun too. Also there was a lot of X-Box and Wii games that were being played!

The trouble is that most of the time they were being played at a VERY LATE HOUR! When I was taking a picture the guys playing, Seth said, "You should take a picture of the clock to represent the crazy hours we are playing these games at." So I did! That is 1:18 A.M!!! And they were just getting started! We didn't get to bed until like 3:00 that night/morning. But in the words of a great song from a great musical..."It's great to stay up late...good morning!"

Just another angle of the table. Good times! And I guess I should add that Jared won a good percentage of the games played! It soon became that everyone was out just to dethrown him. But he would hold on, and win another. I'm not sure if he won this particular game or not though. I just loved that we were together, I didn't really care who won or lost. I just loved "playin' the game!"

Swimming at the Hotel!

All of Linda's family that has come to visit is staying in a local hotel. So we went down and took advantage of the pool. Luckily it was indoor, because the weather outside was less that "pool friendly".

I love this photo, because it caught Josh in the act of jumping into the pool!

BOWS!

We have had so much fun making bows with everyone during this family reunion! Here is Missy, Christine, Me, and Caroline.
Caroline said that they rule was that once you were done with a bow, you had to stick it in your hair, so here is what we looked like by the end of the night!

So much fun! I think that I've got everyone hooked! We can't wait for the next chance we will get! And I thnk we made more flowers than bows, but you get the idea! Super cute!

Playing at the Park!

It was Christine's birthday while they were here, and so they bought a pinata. The kids loved it! And I think all the adults got a good laugh out of it too! What a great idea you guys...Thank you!

Here the kids are, all scampering for the candy that had just sprayed out of the pink horses guts!!!

Here is the pinata, and eveyone in the background, trying to keep their distance.

Luke hitting the pinata.

Joshua, hitting the pinata.

All the kids lined up from youngest to oldest, and after Christine had given it a swing, we let each kid have two trys at hitting the horse. We got through the kids, so we went to the teenagers, and then to the youngest adults that were there. Ben almost got it, then Joey finished it off.

My kids at the park. Isn't that a great picture! What cute kids!

Lucy and Ella.

Megan on the swing.

Breanne and Scott. Breanne was asked to look after Scott at the park, and she took this role very seriously! They were so cute together. She helped him go down the slides, get up the stairs, and go through those tube things.

Out to lunch with ALL the gals!

How lucky are we? We got to go out to lunch with not only ALL the Sister-in-laws, but with Linda and her two sister's, and two nieces. We had a blast! This just NEVER happens! So it was a real treat to all be together! Thank you to all the husbands who stayed home with the kids.

Our Latest Family Photo

We took pictures of all the individual families when we went up the canyon. This is the one of us! I must say, that's a good lookin' family!

The Jardine Family

We actually got a picture of the entire Jardine family!!! Miraculously, everyone came together this summer, and luckily we were able to go up the canyon, and get a picture with everyone in it! I love this picture! I prayed that it would happen and that everything would go smoothly, and that is what happened. Thank you everyone for cooperating! I love this family! I can't wait to print this photo and hang it!

This is the Jardine photo with Sasnett's and Brown's added in.

David and Missy.

Madison and Meckenzie (not sure I spelled that right). But anyway, these are Terri's girls....would you believe that they are sisters? They look nothing alike and are only 10 months apart. I'm serious! They are lovely girls, and it has been fun to get to know them better.

Hope. This girl is so nice and kind and wonderful! And look at her gorgeous hair! We love this little princess!

This is a cute shot of Adam and his oldest, Lucy.

Breanne sneaking out from behind a tree.

Breanne, Luke, and Joshua messing around with sticks.

Princess Breanne...looking so cute!

Lucy, Breanne and Niamh making "Sand Angels".

Joshua in the woods. I like this picture.

Missy and Scott. Boy, Scott has sure taken to Missy. I don't know what we are going to do without them around any more when they leave and go back to school. It has been so fun to visit with them this summer!

This is a great shot of Carlie! What a cutie pie!

Everyone, just hanging out and playing frisbee or talking. We had a lot of fun up the canyon. It was perfect weather, and a lovely spot.

This was the best photo I had to show the food and all that.
