Boyack Family Reunion

So sweet
All six Harmon kids: Matt, Michelle, Staurt, The Mom, Cliff, Katie, my Dad
Shelly and Sleater, Me and Ella. She is one week older than him, we are excited for the next reunion for them to be buddies. I guess technically they are cousins once removed.



My parents and Lily, she loves them more than anyone else, except us maybe, and you can tell from her face!

Sweethearts, this was one of a rare occasion where we didn't have kids (Ella was happily playing on the floor and then passed around to family) and it was so fun to visit with all the adults.

Kim and Stuart
So after the Harmon Family reunion, we headed up to Park City for the Boyack reunion. It is basically my great great grandparents George and Jane Boyack and all their descendants, like 250 people were there, but there are many more. Highlights included: the family BBQ, squaredancing, olympic games, cousin capers, family skits, adult banquet dinner, boyack sunday school and Sleater's baby blessing, Lily's fish pet for one night, shopping at the outlets, and of course swimming in the hotel pool.

Great Grandma Beryl


My grandma Beryl stayed at our house for a week after the reunion, and she spoiled us truly. We miss her already up in Washington!

Family Bed

I just couldn't resist a picture of one huge bed and one tiny baby that controls all the sleep going on in that bed.




With so many visitors in our house lately the sleeping arrangements have been a bit confusing, so we've had a few visitors in our bed that now think the situation a permanant solution! Why is a parent's bed so appealing?

Darling sisters

These girls are just starting to have fun with each other, which makes my heart melt.



Tight Squeeze!
Even Tighter!!
I still have yet to really capture one where they are both smiling at the same time, but as you can see it's not for lack of trying.

Harmon Family Reunion

Everyone gathered for dinner at a park up the canyon, it was overcast and perfect except for the carnivorous flies that wanted to eat the KFC.

For 3 days in July my Dad and all his siblings and mom congregated in Provo for a family reunion. They came from North Carolina, New Hampshire, California, Washington, and Arizona. It was so much fun to see everyone and thier kids getting so big. Festivities included: FHE, Rock Band, climbing Mt. Timp, walking with babies, swimming, dinner up the canyon, girls lunch at Macaroni Grill, boys night out dinner and "Dark Knight", and just chatting our lips off.
