Blake Family Reunion

The end of July was the long awaited Blake Family Reunion at the Ranch.  Here are a ton of pictures of all our fun!  

Grandpa got suckered into going to ditch creek with the boys all the time.  The love throwing rocks and playing the water.  

Jackson and Easton are the best of buds!

We thought they were just going to be throwing rocks, but Grandpa couldn't keep them out of the water ;)

We had a few times were it rained for quite a bit so our gathering spot was in the barn.

Or should I say the adults hideout was in the barn.  The rain didn't stop the boys...

Here is Jackson out riding the bike in the rain.  Todd and Amy were life savors with the bikes this year.  Jackson and Easton rode it around the yard constantly. 

Jonah liked the helmet.  It was rare to see Jackson and Jonah without the helmets on.  

The theme this year was the Olympics.  Each family "team" created their family flag.  We drew portraits of each family member (including little baby in mommy's belly).  I hadn't told anyone besides my parents so this was how we announced the news! :)

The annual Butte Hike.  Aunt Jamie made everyone family reunion shirts so we had to get pics of the kids in their matching shirts. :)  The boys were also sporting Grandpa Blake's look with the bandannas. 

These three boys loved hiking with each other.

Justin had the hard job of carrying Jonah...  luckily Jonah got out and walked for quite a while cause Justin was not enjoying that much.  

Justin and I were in charge of the kid Olympic games.  We had games like a bean bag toss, basketball shooting, croquet, darts, balance beam, and a relay race.  We got through most of it before it stated to rain too hard. 

After the kiddo's went to bed we had the adult games.  (Minute to win it style again).  

These two made it into the finale AGAIN this year.  However, this time Todd won the gold.  

We did a family bike ride to the lake this year.  Our family got left in the dust and I only made it half way ;)  Luckily Grandpa Blake was following along in the truck and he came to rescue Jackson and I since we were too tired to go on.  

We had a picnic at the lake and played for a short time.  (it was quite chilly that day so only the very brave actually made it into the freezing cold water)

Me and the boys stayed for a week longer after the reunion was over.  I got to spend a weekend in Utah visiting my best friends.  Kim had just adopted a little girl from Ecuador and it worked out perfectly for me to be there for the sealing.  

Me, Anneka, Kim, and Kylee.  It was so great to see these girls!  I got to go shopping with Anneka after the sealing for a few hours and we got together the next day to hang out.  Love these girls... they will be forever friends!

I also got to go over to Grandma and Grandpa Stevens for a few hours one evening.  It was great to see them and to have the boys be able to spend some time with their Great Grandparents.
