Webecke Family Reunion

This past weekend was the Webecke Family Reunion.  It was at a reservoir just outside of Snowville, UT (a TINY town that Ed's brother Andrew lives in - just before you cross into Idaho).  Matthew had a soccer tournament that weekend (I will post about that later) and Dallin had football (and when you are the center, you can't miss).  So, Ed took the little 4 up Friday morning and I stayed back with the big 2 and went to LOTS of games - which was super fun.  So, I only have pictures from late Saturday night (we didn't get there until just after 8:00). But get ready - there are a LOT of pictures! 

I brought lots of glow sticks for the kids so the played with them for a LONG time before we finally made them go to bed.  They had a GREAT time!
 We also did S'mores - which Kesley LOVED!
 
 I was so happy to be back with my little ones!  Cameron was so cute when I got there - he kept saying
I am so happy we are back together!
He melts my heart!
 I LOVE having the little 3 in the camper with us - and they LOVE being in the camper!
 Cameron fell asleep as soon as he held still for more than 2 seconds.
 Brecken was pretending at first so I would take his picture - such a cute boy!
 Kesley did the same thing - but it did help them to fall asleep quickly!
 Luckily, these little guys slept in - I needed the sleep and so did they!
 Loved when I noticed that Dallin and Cameron both had on blue shirts and red shorts.
 After we packed up camp, we went to the "FARM" at Andrew's.  He has lots of different animals.
Here are some chickens.
 This is one of my favorite pictures - how adorable are my twins!
 I have never seen pigs actually wallowing in mud - it was kind of cool!
 Here is Gavin, Kesley, Cameron, and Brecken and OUR PIG PICO - yes, we own a pig!
 Pico was having a good time in the mud!
 Gavin and Matthew love it there!
 Here are my kids watching the PIGS playing in the river with some of their cousins.
 This girl is just too cute!
 All my kids love being up there with all the animals!
 Ed told Matthew and Gavin that they should TRY to RIDE A PIG.  So Matthew tried first.  
 He did manage to ride for a second or two.
 Gavin didn't have very good luck at first.
 Love my boys - they kept trying to ride Pico!
 Go Matthew!
 Brecken was so excited to ride a horse - of course, he wouldn't take off his backpack.
 Here is the BEST try riding Pico.
 Gavin actually rode for a couple of seconds - Ed got it on video.  I will get it and post it.
 Gavin rode PICO and then got BUCKED OFF INTO THE MUD!
 He was pretty excited!
 Here is our princess on a horse - just like her mommy!
 You can't really see but Gavin is covered in mud - we had to hose him off!
 Ride 'em Kesley!
 Go Cowboy Cameron!  He was scared at first but then LOVED it!
 How many kids can say they have ridden a LLAMA?  My kids can!  They all got to ride the Llama before I got there so I only have pictures of Kesley on a Llama - I will try to get more from Ed.
 Kesley kept singing, "I'm riding on a Llama.  I'm riding on a Llama."  Over and over again!
 Matthew had fun riding the horse.
 I even got a turn - he was one STUBBORN, OLD horse!
 I don't think my dad would be happy I was riding a horse in shorts and with flip flops!
 Ed even took a turn riding the horse - they battled it out to see who was more stubborn - Ed won!
 The kids all got to pet the little piggies - boy can they squeal!
 Gavin on a horse.
 Dallin took a turn with the stubborn horse.
 I couldn't resist taking a picture of this pig!
 These 2 truly melt my heart!
 Brecken had to ride the horse again!
 He was so happy!
 This kid was super happy too!
 How silly are these kids?  It was Cameron's idea and then the others followed.
 Cameron didn't want to get out.
 Love this kid!
 We had to pull him out of the dog cage.
 Sure love this kiddo too!
 This might be my favorite picture of the trip!
It was a quick trip for the big 2 and me but we had a lot of fun!

August Birthday Party for 4 Friends

Four of my good friends all have birthdays in August so we had one BIG Birthday Party for them last week at my house.  It was so much fun to spend the evening with good friends - just chatting and eating and swimming and catching up.  

Birthday Girls
Donna - Angie - Carol - Melanie
 Of course we had LOTS of YUMMY food.  We started with appetizers - homemade FRUIT SALSA and CINNAMON SUGAR CHIPS and chips and guac (thanks for the chips and guac Laura).  
 We had the punch my mom always made for parties growing up - frozen pineapple juice and Squirt.
 Here are the appetizers and drinks.
 For dinner we had 2 YUMMY and PRETTY salads.  Michelle T. made this AMAZING BBQ CHICKEN salad and Nichole made a SUPER YUMMY BOWTIE SPINACH SALAD (that somehow I did not get a picture of - I hate when I do that).  Thanks for making the salads ladies!
 We also had YUMMY rolls! 
 I had to take a picture of the silverware - love all the ribbons!
 We also had BBQ CHICKEN and a YUMMY SPICY MUSTARD SAUCE.
 Here is the food table - LOVE the pink chevron fabric for the table cloth - I will have to use that again!  We also had lots of YUMMY FRUIT (thanks Michelle T and Rena).
 Here are all the ladies that were at the beginning - others came later - and we definitely missed those that couldn't be there.
 Here are ALL the PRESENTS for all the ladies!
 Angie opened hers first!
 Then Melanie!
 And Donna!
 Aren't these ladies cute! 
 Tosha - Laura - Jessica
 More super cute ladies!
Nichole - Lisa - Brooke - Angie - Carol
 And Carol opened her presents last!
 Here are the FUN birthday girls!
Donna - Angie - Carol - Melanie
 And of course, we had to have dessert!  Each birthday girl got to pick their favorite dessert.
Donna's pick:  CHOCOLATE CAKE
 Angie's pick: CARROT CAKE (made by Jessica - thanks Jessica)
 Melanie's pick: HOMEMADE ICE CREAM
 I had to pull out the Ghirardelli chocolate sauce I got for my birthday - YUMMY!
 We had to have fresh strawberries and peaches with the ice cream too!  So good!
 Carol's pick: Cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and sour cream topping
 Love these ladies!  Loved getting to celebrate their birthdays with them!
 And the desserts all set up.
After dessert we went and swam and hung out in the hot tub - what a GREAT night!
