| And everyone has a wonderful day!! Thanks Daines/Brunts/Seligers!! |
 |
| We had our annual talent show at the East Stake Center Pavillion. It was nice to be outside! Annie read some of her book she is writing, John performed some soccer moves (which several cousins joined in on), Jessica hulu-hooped and Asher sang something-I can't remember what it was, bummer! Alexis and Julia were too cool to participate. |
 |
| The Spokane Temple provided a nice backdrop! |
 |
| This hill by the Pavilion was the same one Jesse played at as a kid! |
 |
| We had the pleasure of having Daniel and Lori and their 5 children stay at our home for the week. We had a great time together . Our kids match up well. We spent a morning at Liberty Lake while the guys did their annual brothers D&D. |
 |
| The Independence Day celebration started out right. God bless America and BBQ!! |
 |
| The brothers had a weigh in. Not my idea of fun after a week of eating lots of reunion food. :) |
 |
| Michael prepared a very reverent and special flag burning ceremony to retire an old flag (the proper way to retire a flag). He had the teenage girls help out. |
 |
| There were a lot of tears and testimonies. We love America! |

 |
| Our resident Eagle Scout Ford, helped run the fire. |

| He's on a protein diet. In other words, if there is meat, why eat anything else? |

| We always have a few spiritual experiences at the reunions, including the Youth baptism trip to the Spokane Temple. |
 |
| Ruth was running somewhere in the background, but this is the luncheon for the baptisms. Lucas Barney (a cousin of cousins), Eliza Fox and Samuel Fox were all baptized this day. |
 |
| It's great to be eight! |
 |
| I know I have too many pictures on this post, but this is such a beautiful place!! |
 |
| We rented a pontoon boat with Daniel's family and had a fun day on the lake! |
 |
| We discovered a little island and named it "Cousin Cove". |
 |
| They had to get out and explore! |
 |
| Mermaids sunning themselves. |
 |
| Aren't teenagers cute? |
 |
| We squeezed a lot of kids on our boat! |
 |
| Jessica was at home. The life of luxury suits her! |

 |
| Could Jadan and John be any happier? |
 |
| Gentri and Annie! |
 |
| Jesse is a good daddy! |
 |
| And he can get down on the water! |
 |
| Love all the red hair here! |
 |
| It got a little wild for poor Asher, but it didn't seem to bother Jesse! |
 |
| These two love each other! |
 |
| We met up with some other cousins after for beach time and ice cream! Cute one of Phil and Katie's boy Simon! |
 |
| Russell actually caught a fish with his bare hands!! |
 |
| But it was catch and release. :) |
