Another Winn Reunion

We just got back from a reunion with my family. It was with my Mother's siblings and parents. It was my grandparents 55th wedding anniversary and they wanted to have a family photo. While doing the family photo we got a couple taken with just Jon, James, Millie and I. I can't wait til we get them back.

The kids and I at my Grandparents house



Anyways, I was not the best at taking pictures this weekend but we had a blast! We got to Burley, Idaho Wednesday night and most of the family was already there. On Thursday Grandpa took us to a Japanese Entrapment Camp that was between Burley and Twin Falls. It was very interesting the facts we had learned, and how much they persevered. One interesting thing was that on the "Honor Roll", my dad found his boss from Hillsboro's father name. James and Millie did great walking around, they did get a little hot, but I think they had fun, while Jon and I learned a lot.

James and my Dad are Best Buds.

on Friday we went to "The Steadman's". They had water slides, a zip line, volleyball, swings, mud pit and so much more. The family had a blast. Everyone played for hours on the slide and in the sun. James went down the slide a couple times with Jon and my mom. He did not like it at all. The funny thing is that he would not go to my mom for the rest of the day. I was able to go down twice. Most of the time James, Millie and I hung out under the shade and watched Jon having a lot of fun!

































This was all James wanted to do, play in a bucket of water.

Saturday morning we had family pictures (I will post some when I get them). We packed up and headed home. Overall it was super fun, I loved getting to see all my cousins and catching up with them. James and Millie did great. I think Millie was only put down once (besides at night). We had plenty of babysitters :) James loved playing with all the other kids. The car ride was not to bad. The last hour on the way home you could tell James was done. We are very blessed to be able to meet up with family at least once a year. Can't wait for the next one!

Daddy Son Fishing

Jon wanted a break from working on the house. He decided to take James fishing. It was a busy place, and as soon as you threw your line in the pond you got a fish. James did not like when the fish flopped on the ground. Jon said it was fun, and a great place to take kids. It was nothing like fishing in Idaho :)

More Millie

My friend Ashley is a photographer. She does great work, but wants to still practice with newborns. I told her to come on over and practice with Millie. I think she did a great job. Millie was not at her best during the photo shoot, but I think she got some great pictures...















Pergola

Jon is amazing and built me this:



It is 98% done. All he has left is a few touch ups with the stain, cutting some bolts and I think that is it. James and I are loving it during the day :)

Bath Time Trouble

We got James these crayons you use in the tub...





Mini Photo Shoot

I decided I would try and take a few pictures of Millie. To be honest I did not get to many that I really liked. Lucky for me I have a friend who is starting up a photography business and will come next week to take some really good pictures of her. I at least got one or two that I liked.



One of my good friends made Millie this hat and matching sandals. I just could not get a good picture of her feet.

Family Photos...well kind of

Since my mom was here I really wanted to try and get a few family photos. Ideally I wanted to wait until I lost a little bit more weight, but I figured we were way over do for some family photos.

We took a ton and got one or two good ones. It was really hard for James. There were birds, and kids and floating cottonwood seeds everywhere. He did not want to look at the camera













When we could not get James to take anymore pictures, we decided to play at the play ground. This made James very happy :)





Of course when we got home everyone took a nap. Well almost, mom went and ran an errand. She snapped this picture when she got home.
