Family Reunion


We just got back from our Solomon Family Reunion (Rusty's mom' family). We get together every other summer with all of the Solomon's even though we are lucky enough to see most of them frequently. This year the reunion was in Deer Valley, Ut. While the fun started for everyone on Saturday, our little family didn't fly up until Wednesday night. We had a great time seeing all the cousins and Aunts & Uncles. Braden and Berk were in heaven having so many people to play with. Rusty is the oldest grandchild and Braden is the oldest great-grandchild so most of the cousins are preteens to teens and love to play with Braden or hold one of the babies. We got to do some more shopping at the outlets in Park City, had family pictures taken in Provo Canyon and spent a fun day at a friend of the family's house in Orem. Also, our newest niece Jaci got blessed and "the Bills" (Jill's hubby and Father in law) put on a craw fish boil for the whole gang. Oh, and my favorite part, eating at Granny's in Heber. Hmmmm. It was a quick few days but well worth the trip. The house was crazy huge and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. Here is one picture from the trip, the rest I will put on Becknews.com in the next few days. Whew, I am so glad all the summer vacations are behind us and I can actually put my suitcases away for more then a week!


And congrats to my cousin Genny and her hubby JJ who just had their first baby girl Rylie on Friday! 10 hours of labor! Whew! Can't wait to see her!
** Rhonda and I got to see her tonight and she is soooo precious! Now get some rest Genny while your Mom is here!**
