Peacock Family Reunion

We had a lot of fun at the Peacock Family reunion this year. We all gathered together to celebrate Zora's 80th birthday at the park near the swimming pool in Castle Dale. Although Brandt was in Japan and couldn't join us, Alexis, Kate, and the twins came for a fun summer visit. We couldn't get enough of the kids, especially the twins.

Christian goo goo gaga'd over them all day. It was so cute.

Emerson and Cruiser were so funny. This was the first time we me these little fellas in person, and they were crazy. They wrestled each other constantly, and we loved every second of it. I have no idea how Alexis does it all day long.

It was also a special day for my dad and his siblings. This is the first time they've all been together for several years. Aunt Eden was recently diagnosed with a severe form of pancreatic and liver cancer, so it was nice for all the siblings to be together.

In a random series of events. Jayna hitched a ride from California with some friends passing through on their way to Idaho. It was fun to see Layna and and Jayna that afternoon as well.

Mom was in charge of all the food, and spent a lot of time making good food and some special birthday cakes for Zora.

Zora really liked the cakes!

Cali and so many of the cousins swam all day in the pool. They were pretty tired by the end of the afternoon.

Our favorite fellow Rock Springers, Dorothy and Kyle were there too.

 Neal and Gwen with all of their grand children for the first time ever.

We tried a few takes! This was the best they all could do.

We tried a whole family group photo.... It took some doing.

Missing Brandt and Alexis...

So many tries...

And just when we all get there and situated, Caleb stops off. This picture accurately depicts my whole life.

This might be as good as it gets.

A whole pile of babies!

All my sisters and mom!

Christian the Baseball Coach

Christian had the opportunity to coach both Little League and Travelling baseball teams this year. It was full of feelings and emotions. On one hand, it was great that Carter and Christian had the chance to spend so much time together. On the other hand, it was hard for Carter to take coaching from Christian in some instances. They both grew together and learned a lot about each other's frustrations. I, myself, was frustrated watching the whole thing unfold. It was really hard to be a bystander through the entire process.

Between games Christian and Caleb played games on the lawns at the baseball parks. I sat in the shade and read.

Travelling {all the time} for Baseball {everything}

This is an accurate description of what the end of a baseball weekend looks like. Sweaty, tired, a little sunburned, and unfortunately this season quite a few losses.

Successful Swimming Lessons with Miss Marilyn

Who would have thought, the same Miss Marilyn that taught Grandma Gwennie to swim, would also teach Caleb. He was pretty excited about it and Neal and Gwen even got to take him to one of his lessons, where he was very proud to show off his new found skills for both of them.
