Work Day/Family Reunion at Grandma's

This past weekend was our annual work day/BBQ/reunion day at Grandma's. We spend the morning cleaning her yard and then gather for a family BBQ when we're done. After the BBQ we had the Manti Aquatic Center rented. I didn't take my camera since I was swimming (and so was Curt). So I hope other blogs will have swimming pictures. Mother Nature tried to ruin the swimming party--but she didn't succeed! We just swam in the rain. The water was nice and warm even though out of the water it was a little chilly. Before the yard cleaning this year, A.J. had bought us all matching shirts from Old Navy for family pictures. Thanks, A.J.! This first picture is Curt and I with our six grandchildren. Spencer and Jayleigh are crying, Curt's looking at the kids, Madalynn's looking at the crying babies along with Thomas and Audrey, Cody is looking I don't know where, and I am looking at the camera. Go figure. The second picture of grandma/grandpa with the six grandkids. Jayleigh is still crying, Spencer is looking at Jayleigh and wondering why she's crying, Cody is thinking the same thing, and the rest are kind of looking at the camera.
Our whole family with Grandma. I think the shirts was a terrific idea.
Our kids and us with Grandma.
We tried to get some quick family groups--we hadn't started the yard yet so we had to hurry. Here is Chris, Amanda, and Cody.
A.J., Cashelle, Madalynn, Audrey, Thomas, and Spencer. Lacey and Landon didn't stick around long enough to get their cute little family picture. The mosquitoes were trying to carry Jayleigh off.
This is after the hard work and we are enjoying each other's company in the back yard.
Another group . . .
And another group--Kaylee broke her foot so she couldn't do much. Besides that, she is about 8 months pregnant. Poor girl.
Quite a pile of shoes. The kids were all playing on the trampoline, swinging, and playing volleyball while the adults visited.
This is the whole group that came--minus me (taking this particular picture) and Ross was taking a picture, too. This is what happens when two people fell in love (Grandma and Grandpa).
Playing on the trampoline.
Volleyball buffs.
