Family Reunion

This year we were fortunate enough to get Brandon's ENTIRE family together for a reunion! All 62 Lee's, 1 Aulestia and 1 Fiance. Many of us are looking forward to doing it all again next year!

Silverwood '10

This was a great year at Silverwood! A last minute decision was made to take the Boise cousins with us - which was GREAT! AND...Marilyn was able to get the day off after only being back at work for one day after an Alaskan cruise!! Whew!! We couldn't possibly go to Silverwood without Marilyn!



I think this is the only picture I got of Jacob and Jared and of Megan! Once we got there, and all of the cousins were present and accounted for - they all took off. (Which I'm ok with because I had NO desire to ride Panic Plunge...or any of it's friends!)



The one time we met up with the bigger kids - Preston, Ethan & Maddie. I think the only picture I have of Spencer is the one where he is the blur speeding by me on the roller coaster! :(



Sydney! One of these days I'm going to be your favorite aunt!



Gracie and her daddy! (I was tempted to make some mushy comment about how good looking Brandon is, but that would just be awkward for the readers!)



Melanie & Malorie



Malorie in the waterfall - I love our new camera!



Uncle Christopher & Adam



Gorgeous Gracie!



Jordan in the Lazy River!



Yes, that's me on the Tilt-a-Whirl with Joseph & Malorie. Rode that thing, not once, but TWICE!! Thank you very much!



Jason & Joseph...and now Jason knows how we feel! (Seriously, he's a great driver, it's just fun to give him a hard time!)



Time to go! Finally we see all of the kids together again! A wonderful day at Silverwood! (And look, a picture of Aunt Mindy!)

A Not-So-Quiet Sunday Evening

A couple of days before our family reunion, the Boise Cousins rolled in to town. They showed up just in time for Jason's ordination!!



We finished off the evening with some cute little waffle bowls that Brandon and Maddie made!



Would have been nice if someone hadN'T turned the big freezer up to 9 without us knowing!!

Oregon Coast

In June, Maddie and her dad got to travel to the Oregon Coast with the Young Women's group from church.



They had a great time with good friends.



They swam in the ocean - we still don't talk abt the "close call"!



They got to visit the Portland Temple.



They also visisted the zoo, the Tillamook factory, a light house...and much more. They had a lot of fun and we hope to take the whole family to the Oregon coast next summer.

An Evening at the Lake

We spent a fun evening at Lake Sherry last night. Fun times!!



THIS is what I have to put up with!



The weather was great and we look forward to doing it again, soon!
