Vacation - Martin Style


My brother, Jerry, came home from his mission in Las Vegas so we decided to plan a reunion around it. Let me just paint a little picture: 1 house, 14 adults, 8 grandkids, 1 cousin, 1 pregnant lady, 8 Harry Potter book 7s, Rook Cards, and Presidents. Needless to say it was a mad house for a week, but tons of fun.


I finally got to meet my sister Alyssa's little girl Marin. This is Marin (purple bow) and Rachel (pink bow). Everyone said how similar they look. This picture below is of the 3 youngest. Benjamin, Marin, and Rachel



These are the next 3 youngest. Bailey, Kate, and Ashlin. Kate and Ashlin are definitely in their terrible two's. Baiey is the happiest little girl-She would just wander around the house with a smile on her face.



Having fun playing the the sprinklers. Ryan and Brooklyn are the oldest of the grandkids. They are the first two on the left.










Ashlin got brave enough to touch the center of the sprinkler.

Rachel is such a cutie! I love her round cheeks. She actually looks a lot like Hayden. Ashlin has real hair!!! She has gotten so big in the past few months. I am going to Utah in a few weeks, I will give you a call. If you aren't busy we can take the kids on a picnic or something.

your family reunions sound so fun! it's also good to know that my little girl isn't the only one going through her terrible two's...and she isn't even two until september! it should be interesting to see what happens with the coming of baby #2.

Looks like so much fun, I can't believe how big your girls are now and I can't believe how many grandkids the Martin's have now

Rachel is getting to be so BIG! Can she give lessons to Kate on how to gain weight? At 10 months we're still in size 2 diapers!
