Gibson Family Reunion!

There is something about an extended family reunion, that is so much fun! This is Dan's mom's side of the family, we get together really only once a year, now that Grandpa Gibson is gone! We had so much fun! We went up towards Malad Idaho spent the day camping and having fun, and then that evening the family had rented a swimming pool which was so much fun, apparently it is around 100 yrs old. At one time was completely buried and then dug up and remodeled. It was a blast it had kiddie slides along the side of it, these little small slides that the kids just loved! We forgot Emmy's swimsuit she had to wear just her blue little shirt and then Sophie's little bumpkin bottoms!Emmy hanging out in Grandma and Grandpa Thatcher's sweet camper!Aunt Tye and her sons put together these cool coloring books. They had taken pictures of familiar objects and spots around Grandpa Gibson's house, and then with the help of a computer program changed them into a coloring page. It was fun remembering what and where everything was...it helped us remember Grandpa and Grandma Gibson!Emmy cuddling with Grandma after taking a tumble down the slippery slide!Sophie with dad just chillin!Alexis, Emmy and Meagann having fun on the slippery slide!Emmy and I..."Later Dudes!"Brody the "Dare-devil" sliding down on his knees!James, Dash and Brodyn playing with cars!Emmy Driving the Camper!

Sophia's Blessing Day!

We had such an amazing day, the weather was a little cold, but we were still able to have hamburgers and hot dogs outside at the pavilion on the west side of Willow Park. We blessed Sophie in Sprink Creek ward because her little cousin Lillly who is only two weeks older was blessed the same day! We had three families intermingled it was a lot of fun! She was blessed on Father's Day...which made it special for Dan!! We love you Sophie you are such a miracle in our lives!
Grandma Brenchley made her beautiful blessing dress, Danielle helped me take pictures of it!
