Reunions

We had back to back reunions in Idaho with both sides of the family and boy were they fun filled!!  Our kids are lucky to get the best of each sides and were able to ride motorcycles, shoot guns, swim in natural hot springs, go down the Alpine slide, kayak in a mountain lake, hike to see waterfalls, watch fireworks boom over head, and laugh, and eat and laugh and eat some more!  We had such an amazing time spent playing games, playing baseball, riding razors, singing karaoke, racing all over Jackson Hole and enjoying being family.  I feel unbelievably blessed to have the wonderful families both Shawn and I have.  Our kids are surrounded by incredible examples of hard work, strength, faith, good humor, and service.  I'm so glad to call them all my own!

 Eva surrounded by boys....I can tell this is only the beginning!

 Sam, Jack and Lyv had a blast driving dirt bikes, 4-wheelers, and cruising in the Razors.  This is something we definitely don't enjoy at home so they rode as Jack would say "to their hearts content" and Jack even had the "privilege of starting the dirt bike" after it was fueled up!

Our Hill Family Reunion kicked off on Ryan's Birthday - we sang, and let out balloons to celebrate him and the entire week was planned around the Guns and Roses theme in honor of him!

 Me packing an AK-47...the first and only time.  I even shot a gun for the first time in my life.  It was pretty fun although my shoulder hurt quite a bit after that!

 We also reunited with Shawn's best buddies from High School - the Genta's and the Holdaway's!  We had a such a great time catching up and watching our kids play together.  I love these people.  They make Shawn laugh like no one else and that always makes me smile!

Ms Eva learned to sit up!! Such a big girl - June 30th 2017

Hiking Jenny's Lake up the waterfall - gorgeous!

 Another round on the Cowboy Coaster and Alpine Slide!

 Max with his gold medal...his team was the winning team in the Amazing Race we had! Joel's motorcycle sure came in handy!

A day on the Palisade Reservoir!  

 Our nightly wiffle ball game quickly became a favorite!  We had such a great time playing.
