Christmas Parlor Games

Here are some fun parlor games published by Carma Wadley in the Deseret News. Great for when everyone gets together!

There are writing games, a reindeer word scramble, a drawing game, and many more!

Family Reunion, June 2008: East Canyon Resort & Reservoir

I thought I'd share a few photos from our family reunion at East Canyon Resort held in early June. We had a bit of rain but had a lot of fun in between and during. I played shuffleboard for the first time- a pretty fun game!

We had GREAT food (of course- I think I gained 5 lbs.) and we had a great time! Thanks to my Nate & Steph for planning a memorable event.

Burn, baby, burn!
The lure of the campfire. Toasting anything & everything.
Who needs marshmallows?

Fishin'
I did not fish. If fish tasted like chicken, then I'd be fishin'. For the most part, the taste of most fish just doesn't agree with my taste buds. Maybe it's because fish eat worms, bugs, and stuff like that. Maybe worms would taste better? :)

Move it, dude!

Hey Sarah! Happy Birthday?

(I apologize for the lack of blog entries as of late. I have started an official family blog and have spent most of my free time there. This is a post I originally put there, but modified. If I am found dead in the coming days or weeks it will be because one of my brothers murdered me for posting this picture.)

Okay- the instructions were to dress like a "nerd"- and pictured below is how that was interpreted. It was Sarah's birthday and we decided to have a little fun. In my family you are lucky if someone calls because they remembered it, but Sarah's is never forgotten (though she has a short memory and doesn't see it that way). I guess you could say that she is spoiled, which is probably due to the fact that she is the youngest and our only sister. I think that she thinks she has it rough, and maybe she does, because...

If you went into a restaurant and had been invited to sit with this bunch, what would you have done?

Yes. I would have run as well.

Pictured from left to right are Homie "Hip-Hop" Brown, Bo, Rhett "Hot Rod" Andrews, Kevyn L. Baker, B.S. (aspiring astrophysics student), Dr. Stan Cipek (astrophysics professor), and the flamer, Alf Kimo.

This nerdy, rough, and groovy bunch met Sarah and Steve at the Braza Grill in Salt Lake for her dinner birthday. Thanks to Stevie for getting her there and holding on to her when she tried to run away.

Upcoming Family Events:
April 7th - "Homie" Brown will be in concert most of the day at the Delta Center (on the northeast corner by the Trax stop). Let's support him and drop some change in the can. I heard he'll be playing the new drum that he made. Also Matt's birthday.

April 13th - Kimball gets a life.

April 15th - Nathan said we could drop by for free oil changes on this day for their "tax day special." Stuart will be there to make sure he does it right. About all Nathan can change is a diaper or a channel. (I'm just kidding)

April 21st - Spencer presents his research to NASA (Kevyn will be there to assist). Also Mom's birthday.

June 13th - Rhett will be driving in the Candidagua 500 in hopes to qualify for the Daytona 500 in late June. Also Andrew's birthday.
