Family Reunion 09

So... when I went to start blogging again... this is the draft that I found waiting for me.  I was swearing on this post that I was going to become a die-hard blogger, again, and the darn thing never even got posted.   But I am just going to put it out there anyway, because hey! It was a fun reunion... three years ago.  And, uh, yes, by the way, I am totally going to start blogging again.  Totally.  So here...the post that was started 16 months ago... (I did have a baby and moved in the last 16 months- as if I have just been spending my evenings on the couch watching up to episode 136 of How I Met Your Mother!)

This is just emberassing. How many times have I returned to blogging, swearing I was back on the bandwagon, and to "stay tuned for more posts"?? Let's see, the last time was January. Of 2010. And that post was catching up from July. Of 2009. Which is why, in April of 2011, I am continuing on with the rest of July, still Of 2009. I know, not even interesting to anyone anymore. My kids don't even look the same. But this blog being for them in place of scrapbooking, I will be trudging right along  covering the rest of 2009 &2011. Since I usually say at this point (and really, honestly think it) that I am sure I will be blogging every night and caught back up to the present day in a few, short weeks- well, instead I will say- I know I am an annoying blogger. Feel free to delete me from your blog roll.

So.... Majors Family Reunion 2009!!!!

Carson and Jake watching the mega-outside movie screen that the overachievers of one of the branches of Chad's family put on.  You gotta love overachievers.  They totally make life more fun.

Red Fish.  Beautiful Red Fish.  Love that place.  Pretend that the water is not 36 degrees.

The fact that he has to grow up literally makes me ache.  

First place winner of races at reunion.  Is she not the cutest, brightest eyed thing you have ever seen??

This is Chad on a rope swing jumping into the before-mentioned 36 degree water.  

 All of us at the Lake...

Back at the movie screen... Clara is drinking from the water bottle...

 

 

Okay. The story.  Chad carved this into a tree the first year we were married, at my first reunion.  When it was just him and I in a tent.  Here it is, twelve years later...

 And there it is, Reunion 2009~
