Well this fun weekend took alot of pre-preparation getting cows ready, horses ready, homes ready and of course food ready. Here we have Gina and Blaine clipping the cows we were taking to the Tetons for pics. Cate, Landon and JoJo went up for awhile. Cate stayed the whole time and seemed to really enjoy it and wasn't afraid of the cows or Ziva this time.
BJ-a familiar site for me. He and Blake did alot of this over the years!
Cate helping get a cow into the clip shoot. Funny eh?
Now we're on the road to the Tetons!! Chad, Court, Sawyer and Kayson came with Lynn and I in the pickup.
The girls went with Gina and Kyle. You can barely see Brooklyn peeking out behind Ella!
Next come pics of our children with 'their' cows. Seems like Lynn picked cows that have similar personalities as our children.
Here is Gina with our 'little mother' Jersey named Arlene.
Here is Chad with his 'calm and mellow' cow named Larissa.
Janelle with our 'feisty red head' Regina
Blake with 'lanky mellow' Annette
Blaine with his 'strong, sturdy' Honesty (too funny eh?)
Then the next day Lynn and his 'boys' went on a horse trip up to Pine Creek. Beautiful scenery and fun time had by all (except maybe by Ziva-she wasn't sure about the whole thing)
Then, while the guys with up in the hills, we girls took the kids to Tauphas Park for a picnic and playground. Then we were SUPPOSED to go to Rexburg for us to all have hair treatments done. WELL, they wouldn't let little baby Sawyer come in with us. Wanted to know if we brought someone to watch him. Are you kidding me? A 3 mth old baby who isn't going to touch a thing!!!! ARGH! We were all pretty upset about that. So we did what all ticked off girls do-------went out and got something sweet. We went to the 'Cocoa Bean' and had awesome cupcakes and frozen lemonade- a far cry from a new 'do'. We were going to take before and after pics so the girl took our 'after' pic for us...we shouldn't have been so smiley eh? Enjoyed being together tho. Doesn't Sawyer just look like a little trouble maker to you?? Yeah, right, sweet as can be is more like it! Their loss..............
I had a wonderful 1st Pack Family Reunion and I'm grateful to each of my children for trying so hard to pull it all together so we could have a memorable time. I wanted this Reunion pretty bad and I'm very lucky to have had Gina pitch in and help so much with the 'hotel', food, organizing etc etc.(Kinda the pits to be the only one here to help me) And to each of our children for coming so far so we can be together: Chad, Courtney and family, Janelle and Ryan- all from Utah. Blake home from Rexburg while in the middle of college classes and Blaine who was able to come home on leave from the marines in San Diego. Thank kids I love you all so much.
OAKS ARRIVAL!

Mom - sorry I'm just getting around to checkin blogs! Talk about great post. It was a lot of fun to make those memories. I think NEXT family reunion should be hosted by the next siblings in line - Chad & Janelle - IN UTAH!!! Thanks for all the work you guys put into that weekend to make it so awesome. Even when dad rushed us through pictures because he couldn't handle the pressure ;)
Looks like lots of fun. The pics turned out good, I only saw a few but they were really good.
