100 Posterity and Grandma's Birthday Party

A few weekends ago we went to Whitney for a big family reunion to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday and my grandparents' 100th posterity party.

It was so much fun to see our extended family and hang out in the park with everybody. We each got numbers for our shirts, telling what order we all joined the family. (We were numbers 11, 41, 45, 53, 69, and 80!) Everybody sent in videos with a poem about their numbers, which was so fun to watch. It was a very fun day.

At reunions when I was a kid, Grandpa would bring in a truckload of sawdust and hide coins and candy in it for us to find, and I was so excited that they did the same thing here for our kids.

They all loved it, but Sam took it to a whole new level.

A friendly game of kickball.

It was a great day spent in a beautiful place with some of my favorite people in the world.

We love you, Grandpa and Grandma!

Skydiving

For Fathers Day I wanted to give Garreth the chance to do something he's always wanted to do: skydive. And then, after doing a little sneaky detective work and finding out that my dad wanted to do it, too, I got my mom and siblings on board and we got it as a gift for my dad, too. It seemed like a good idea, but as it got closer and Garreth got more nervous, I started to wonder if it was not such a great plan. I mean, pretty much forcing someone to jump out of a plane? And what if something went terribly wrong and I lost my dad and husband on the same day? And it would all be my fault.

Lucky for all of us, the day went off without a hitch. And it was awesome.

I think they both had a really great time.
