Reunion Picture 2009

Before the game warmups. Eric is on the Varsity team this year. He is number 84. We played the Chewelah Cougars.

This was our view of the moon rising from our seats at the game.

Eric is not 1st string but still got in to play a few minutes of the game.

Final Stags 20 Chewelah 6.

Oh what a summer!

My pictures are not in order but its 10:45 and I don't care. Here is the scoop on what the Whittles did this summer. This is a lovely picture of the back of Randy's ear after surgery. His eardrum was torn in the accident he had in April.

Almost didn't get this picture he saw me coming.

The surgeon put a smile face on his ear so that they were sure to do the surgery on the right ear.

This is Houdini. He was our new puppy. We got him on a Monday and he died of Parvo on Sunday. He is part lab, part hound. He was the cutest little thing.

Eric turned 18.

Todd gets up close and personal with a bee.

We went to Silverwood. This time we picked a day that was nice and sunny. Last year we were rained out.

Brenda takes her first rollercoaster ride with Amanda. They are in the very front.

We didn't get to spend much time a Boulder Beach. Somehow Jason smacked his forhead on something and split it open. We had to take him to Urgent Care. They glued it back together.

We took the train and they provided a show about halfway around. The train got robbed as part of the show. We could give money, voluntarily, that they give to a Children's wish foundation.

Jeff's family had their reunion. Jeff and I were in charge of planning it. You would not believe how time consuming that is.

Bear Lake.

The kids found a snake at Grandma Whittles. I just happened to snap a shot right as it swallowed a grasshopper. Look real close and you can see it in his mouth.

Jason got to sit in the cab of the firetruck. It was on the scavenger hunt list that we did at the reunion.

The adults went to the Temple then for Chinese food and finally to the Cold Stone for ice cream.

Activities before the reunion included the ladies, and Tyler(he wasn't allowed in the picture), going out for Chinese food.

The younger kids also got to go to the movies.

And finally the beginning of summer where I got this bright idea to do the Cherry Trot with Amanda and Kevin. It's a 3 mile race. They finished and then came back and walked the rest of the way with me.

I didn't get any pictures at the pool this summer. The kids are all old enough to go by themselves so I stayed and got things done at home. All in all it was a great summer.
