Matthews Reunion 2012

So so fun this year to have all of Allen's siblings together for the reunion.  

We had a wonderful weekend of food, fun, and togetherness.  

There hasn't been a Matthews family photo since 1993 so it was VERY

time for another one!  Lots of people have been added since then, including

ME!! :)

Wow, what a cute family!!!

This is by FAR my favorite shot....too bad Ella and I aren't in it!!

Love my boys!

 Allen and his siblings

The boys had a lot of fun getting to know Alex and Tom better.

Alex was awesome with the kids, and putting up with all of the baseball Miles wanted to play!

Dad and Ella "bowling"

The 3 Grand-daughters!

My bobo-licious!

 Quincy's favorite part of the trip....finding a batting helmet that we turned into a Phillies helmet.

and his own bat!

Grandma loves her grandkids...can't you tell!?

Love love love my Ella Bella!

Can't wait till next year.  California here we come!

Love you Matthews family.  So thankful to be part of the family.

Summertime Happenings

Yikes.  Blogging is just getting away from me.  Here are some things that have been going on with our family...

We TRY to capture pictures of our cute baby...

she is making it very difficult...she seems to think she can get big on us and be super duper squirmy!

This is 90% of the pictures I get of her.  Trying to sit up...STOP being big Ella.

I hardly ever put headbands on her.  She looks in pain here....haha already for church!

I am starting on Ella's scrapbook.  I NEVER scrapbook anymore except for baby books.  The family BLURB books are so much easier.

 Since baseball is NEVER really over...

The Phillies (Q's favorite team) played the Rockies (Miles' favorite team)

We had a little competition at our house...

Quincy made a baseball sign for his room...

 The boys went hiking with Dad.  Ahhh look out for bears!

Here they are hiking to Stewart Falls.

We Love summertime!!  One more month till school!!!

Ultimate Fan

Yes, he just might be the ULTIMATE fan!

Happy 4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July.  I didn't get any pictures of the fireworks, but they liked them so much (especially the smoke bombs for some reason) that they want dad to go and buy some to do even though the 4th of July is over!

We went to Aunt Andrea and Guy's house for a BBQ.  We got to ride their horses and hang out together.

Had to get a picture of our Wonder Woman before we left!

The boys were so brave to ride the horses.

Quincy and Ella showing off their tongues!

Our dessert centerpiece!  Very festive!

Mom and sweet baby Ella!
