Brown Reunion

We loaded up the Suburban and went to the Brown Reunion in Montana.  We were stuffed to the gills!  needless to say we bought a hitch carrier for our Telford Reunion the next week!

The kids traveled great, it took about 5 hours and they didn’t get out of the car once!  We only stopped once in Arco, that has got to be a record for our family!

We had the best camp site, it had all the facilities you could need.  We were glad to have water and electricity to keep us warm at night.  Grandpa Nielson didn’t come until the second day but Claire Bear warmed right up to Uncle Mark, he was a great stand in until Grandpa got there.

After Grandpa got there Claire and Dallie were in all sorts of traps, tricks, and invisiblism they could create.  They had such a fun time together with their Grandpa teasing them.

It is always good when we get to see Grandma Ruby.  She is so popular around our house.  We talk about her a lot, so it was fun to actually get to see her for a few days.  We also got to go to Aunt Sandra’s beautiful cabin in the woods.  It was really neat!

I have a picture just like this when Claire was a baby when we went to the Big Brown Reunion in Utah.

The kids (minus Rett) with two Grandma’s.  It is so fun to have so many Grandmas!

Grandpa N made a kiddy pool for the littles.  The raging river was just too much for us and this worked perfectly to cool off in.

We went down to take a dip in the river but it was too cold for us!  It was by this huge pretty rock though.

Rett wanted in so bad, but didn’t stay in, it was like ice!

Summer got coerced across, possibly pushed across, I’m not sure how it happened, but it took for EVER to get her to come back, it was super cold water!

And it was quite a little swim in a fast current.

She finally did it with Uncle Jason’s help.

We had a great time, and good visit with family we don’t get to see to much.  Plus all of the sisters (and Mom) were there so it makes it all worth it!

Grandma Ruby’s Quilt

We got another package in the mail today, (we had both UPS and Fedex in one day)  Today we got a special delivery from Grandma Ruby.  She sent this darling farm scene that is hand quilted of course!  The kids were all excited to see Retts blankie from her, they all treasure their own that she has sent.  It turned out darling, I love the colors and the piggie is our favorite!

Grandma’s Holly Hobby Dresses

I finally remembered to take a picture of Ashley in her Holly Hobby dress.  We wear them to church quite a bit but Sundays aren't the best days to remember to take pictures!  Emma didn't wear hers, I will take her picture next time.

I cant imagine how old these are?  Grandma Ruby had to have made them when Kristen, Trish, and Erica were around 11-8 years old or so, does anyone want to volunteer how many years that is?

Grandma Ruby


Today is Grandma Brown's birthday! I love that somehow Ashley started calling her Grandma Ruby. I think Ruby is such a pretty name. One of the things I love most about my Grandma is that she is so proper. She has the best etiquette and manners, and is very modest, like a girl should be. I can see where my mom learned it from! We had a fun conversation last summer about how she cant stand the word belly, it is not a belly, it is a tummy, or stomach! She is so fun! I enjoyed our visit tonight, hope you had a great birthday!
