Porter Family Reunion 2011

There were many highlights from the family reunion this year. We spent a week in Greer, AZ and everyone was able to be there!

Due to my current condition, our little family was spoiled with the master suite. Ashby slept on the floor, Levi in the pack-n-play and Paige graduated to the girl cousin room.

My favorite part of the reunion was leading a morning work out. It was fun to put my 4 years of stake aerobics to work and share everything I've learned. (They were quite impressed with my ability, being 8 months pregnant and all).

The kids loved spinning on the merry-go-round thing.


We were able to take a short hike.


And catch horny toads. (Honestly I'm so excited that they caught some horny toads. These are my absolute favorite lizards and one of fondest memories of being a kid.)


We discovered a dead hawk and Cord pulled out feathers for all the kids. (kind of a yucky concept coming right out of a dead bird.)


Levi turned 2!  We had cupcake cones to celebrate.


It was really fun to see everyone perform in the family talent show. We did our "We're the Blumers" song that we made up for the ward talent show.  Paige also played "Merrily we roll along" on the piano and Levi started to hum the Supman theme song.


 We took the four-wheelers out for a little ride, until a cop stopped us. Most of the trails were closed because of recent forest fires. Oops.



Paige and Ashby enjoyed a little slip-n-slide softball game.


And Ashby caught his first fish! He was down by the pond with the other boys so I wasn't even there when it happened. But he was so excited!
