Family Reunion!

My mom's family planned a reunion that we attended in Greer, AZ!  It was nice to get out of the heat and enjoy spending time with family.  It has been quite some time since we have been together and it was nice for the kids to get to know their "Whitmer" cousins.  There was a pine wood derby, talent show, and lots of time for games and spending time together.  Everyone had a great time!  Here are some of the fun highlight pictures.

Talmage helped set up the bracket for the pinewood derby races and Mhari loved counting down for each race!  She was so loud!

There was also lots of frisbie over the pond.  That turned into rescuing the frisbee from the pond in very creative ways :)

Man U VS Man City!

We took a trip down to Houston to attend the Manchester United verses Manchester City game.  Sandra stayed at the hotel babysitting the little kids and Jeff, Talmage, Grant and I got to go to the game.  This was our first professional soccer game and it was a great experience.  It was awesome to get to support Man U and really enjoy being in a stadium with lots of other fans.  Man U won!!

GOAL!!!!

Houston Children's Museum!

We did a family trip to Houston to watch the Man U soccer game.  While there, Jeff went to work and we went to the Children's Museum to enjoy the day before the game that night.

The kids really enjoy museums and this one had so many fun things to do!  I'm sure we could have stayed longer, but all of that fun really wears a Mommy out :).
