Family Reunion - 2009

This is really a picature of the end of the day. Mati had so much fun at the annual Memorial day family reunion, she was just plum tuckered out.
Reunions are great for seeing grand-nephews you've never had the opportunity to see before. This is Nathan, he was one cute snuggle.

This is Addy, she actually won a water gun in the door prize drawings. We got shut out this year. Dang, not even a beach towell. Oh well, better luck next year. It was fun hoping to win, and it all goes to a good cause.

The food is always good. This year it seemed to be even more "Yummy" !!! This is nephew Chris enjoying some dessert.

Grandma Dena and Addy. I think this is Addy taking some time out from all the fun. Right after she got Grandpa Mark with her water gun.

The reason we gather every year. It was so good to have the last of the five remaining brothers and sisters all together this year. I really miss seeing my mom in this picture. She would have loved the wonderful Scrapbooks, my cousin Denise made for each one of them. I loved seeing the old pictures from past reunions. It's so hard seeing everybody get older, especially me.

my nephews, Brent and Eric, I haven't seen Eric in so long. It was wonderful. He is a free lance photographer. He really got some great shots, he has a really good eye. I've never seen so many Nikon's in one place. A few years ago we were trying to get all the video cameras out of our faces. Digital photography has definitely taken over. I love it.

This is my dear cousin Denise. She was the mastermind behind this reunion and really came through. Her whole family really got behind the event. I've never seen so many Glovers together in a long time. Next year my family is in charge of the event. I hope it turns out nearly as well. I want T-shirts, I think family T-shirts would be a good thing.........

This is my beautiful niece Katie and baby Corbin. They are moving to Grand Junction, Colorado. Dear Son has a basketball Camp there next month. Can I come stay with you Katie?

Dear Daughter Kimmy with a very tired baby James. It was fun having them for a few days. James is running all over. His cousins loved showing him the ropes around here.
Mati and cousin Haven head out for a game of Frisbie.

Kimmy had her hair cut and colored while she was here. Much shorter and much Redder. James will get used to it.

"What kind of tree is this Grandma?"

I love the pictures Norma. You did good! My kids had a great time. I too loved the scrapbooks Denise made...she rocks.
One note- it is Brent and Eric in that picture...not Kevin.

Whoops, fixed that. I had a really good picture of Keven that I didn't use. I guess I had him on the mind. Haven't seen Brent since he was knee high to a grasshopper. Thanks for catching that mistake. See all the pictures on Eric's website.
