Bingham Family Reunion '13 and Other Randomness

Last weekend my mom and dad came up for our annual Bingham Family Reunion. The weather was really nice, so we spent a lot of time outside while they were here. 

Tays just loves my mom. He also loves things that he can't have. Like her glasses!


He's a pretty determined boy!

I love how they look like they are having a conversation! So stinkin' cute!




Saturday morning we headed over to Niagra Springs for the reunion. My family loves going down in canyon. We love that it is super close, yet makes you feel like you are so far away from the world! It is so beautiful down there!

Weston and Sam climbing the tree.

My mom and her older sister and brother, Janice and Robert

We were asked to come prepared with a skit. My mom and I had such high ambitions, but it just sort of fell apart the morning of the reunion. We'll do it next time for sure! (Right mom?!)

Taysom wearing Malita's pearls. 
He has so much hair he makes all the little baby girls jealous! 

Sam chillin' with my mom. 

Drew hanging back from the crowd, sneaking treats off the dessert table!

I loved seeing Sam take the first steps to interact with her 2nd cousins. Tays and Sam just crawled and walked over and made themselves comfy withe the other girls. 


My Uncle Keith makes and sells rockets and they were so cool!! The kids absolutely loved them! I could not believe how high up it was shooting them into the sky!

Tays finally gave up and went to sleep on Malita. He sure does love her and was super comfortable in her arms! 

We had a great time at the reunion and it was organized well! Thanks to my awesome Aunt Ilene. She always goes above and beyond on things that she does! 

When we got home the kids all played in the front dirt and got sooo dirty!!




Vaughn and I also bought a pool. The kids were so excited and I was so excited for some easy summer entertainment. However, that night I had a dream that we were in the front yard doing yard work and after a little while I finally noticed Sam wasn't around. We found her a few minutes later in the back yard in the pool. That was all the warning I needed. I took the pool back the next morning. My kids were pretty mad at me, but I tried to explain to them that their little sister was worth more to us than a stupid swimming pool. It took Drew a little while to understand it, but he finally saw the logic in it and agreed it should go back. 


He was covered from head to toe in dirt! 

Now some randomness!!

This little guy is not content to just sit by and watch anymore! If there is anything close by that he can stand up next too, he will do it! I am not ready for him to grow up! He has also started unloading all the bottom cabinets in the kitchen! Look at his rolls! I love his little chunky body!!

The house next to us is for sale and empty and our neighbor asked if we would do the yard work while it sitting empty. While I was over mowing, Max was not happy to being left over on our side of the fence. This is a six foot fence and Max is not standing on anything. One of these days he is going to jump over without any hesitation!
