Family Reunion Fun!

We had David's Family Reunion this last weekend - it was so much fun - perfect weather, fun times, lots of activities - it was a Mountain Man/Native American theme. Here are some ... okay, LOTS of pics ;-) I only took 500, so these are some of my fav's. David and I won the two-man saw competition - we cut through our log in 40 seconds - we were pretty proud of that one ;-) There was also a hatchet throw and my SIL, Jamie won that one. It was a lot of fun.

Geri (David's Mom) bought a tipi for this year and future reunions. Some of you may remember the pics of us on the mountain cutting poles for it. It turned into a big project, but I think it was so worth it - the kids loved sleeping in there at night. Here are some pics of it going up - it only took them two hours, which I think is pretty good considering none of them have ever put one up before. Anyway, we ended up painting everyone's handprints on it and we will add to it each year - I thought it was a fun way to make it unique to our family.

And for those asking how I've been feeling - I feel GREAT! I haven't felt this great in over 6 months, so it's good to have some energy back! I hope this lasts the rest of the pregnancy!

Brailee had a little scare Saturday night - she has an old bug bite that she will just not leave alone and I think it finally got infected. Well, her leg really swelled up, as you can see here, but with a lot of peroxide and cleaning, it luckily cleared up. I took Brailee to the dr. today for a ruptured eardrum (yes, again - poor thing) and mentioned her leg and he said it looks fine now.
