My pictures of the Reunion






The next five posts are of the pictures that I took at the Reunion. First, I have a few random ones, including pictures of the Charm/Bead Necklaces. Let's see if I can remember who brought which charm.
Sports Balls & Musical Items- Scott and Debbie's Family because they love Music and Sports
Blue or White Bead with a Yellow Star- Lance and Breanna, I think
Hard Hats- Stuart and Glennis, I think
Pineapple, Fish, Butterfly, etc.- either Denae and Paul or Christy and David
Many colors of Flowers- Elizabeth and Mark because they love nature (hiking, camping, etc.)
Soldiers- Eldon and Stephanie because they fought through many tough things this year and came out stronger!
Small silver charms with sayings (Love, Believe, etc.)- either Denae and Paul or Christy and David
Golf Tees- Ed and Carolyn because they love Golf
Hearts Bound Together- Grandma, Luetta, and Alaine because they have lots of love
Voyage of Discovery- Wayne and Julie brought this to represent the Reunion
Puzzle Pieces- Jana and Darik because they were really puzzled about what charm to bring
Mexican Pictures- Laurie and Jose to represent their family heritage
Apples and Ladybugs- Wayne and Julie because she loves Apples and Ladybugs
White Stars- Celestia and Fatih because the white star is the one thing that is the same on the Turkish and American Flags
Green Tree inside Yellow/Blue- Karla and Mike- shimmering blue is the rain and stars, yellow is the sunshine, and the green trees because we live in the Evergreen State
Golden Oldham Oar- Teresa and Dave because they love Canoeing/Kayaking/Boating
Blue BYU Bead- Melissa and Bryan because they are attending BYU
Different colors of Dolphins- Angela and Grant because they went swimming with Dolphins this year
I know that I probably have half of these wrong. So please correct me and help me with the missing ones.

"Fear Factor"










I must say, Fear Factor was pretty gross. I think our faces pretty much say it all!! :)

More Skit Pictures











The skits were so hilarious!! I loved learning more about our Grandparents!! :) Those stories were great! My favorite was the one about secret swimming while the kids were asleep. LOL!!

More from the "Amazing Race"










This was personally my favorite game! I loved every event! But maybe that is just my competitive side coming out. :)

PS- Bryan, thanks so much for all of your help with the little kids. You and Melissa are going to be such great parents!

Some more "Pow Wow"ing






The Monson Family "Pow Wow" was so cute! Dave and Teresa are sure an energetic pair!! :) We had a fun time, didn't we?

Diddly Wack Mack Mormon Daddy

I hope Scott's family doesn't mind, but I thought this was so cute (they posted it to Youtube) but for those who weren't there, or want a 2nd look. That was fun to see again!

Monson Reunion Pow Wow



IT ACTUALLY WORKS NOW.

This is a video and pictures from the Pow Wow, where Grandma, Alaine and Luetta were crowned Queen and Princesses of the Pow Wow, and all of the kids made head dresses and followed Teresa and David around having an American Indian celebration.

June & Nolan's family, Stuart's (part), Scott's (minus Andrew)


TO SAVE THE PICTURES, CLICK ON THEM TO MAKE THEM BIGGER AND THEN SAVE TO YOUR COMPUTER, AND THEN SEND THEM ONLINE TO A PHOTO PRINTER NEAR YOU (OR SAVE THEM TO A DISK AND TAKE THEM TO THE STORE TO PRINT).

These are in 5x7 format. We still need pictures from the rest of Stuart's family: Jeff's family and Christy's family

Silly Portraits








We had some fun taking pictures, we took some fun ones too.

Ed and Carolyn's Family






Ed and Carolyn sent me these pictures that they had taken of their family. I cropped them to 5x7 the individual family pictures and 8x10 the one with everyone.
