Maughan Reunion

Time flies! I can't believe September is here. This past month was a lot of fun spending time with friends and family. We took Camry, Bryton and Alex to Lava Hot Springs. The McMinn's happened to be going also, so we met up with them at the pool. It was a gorgeous day to be at the pool. Lava has two new slides, which Jeff loved. Camry somewhat loved. We had a great time and were able to catch some sun, before school started.


Camry started the 8th Grade! She made the Franklin Middle School 8th Grade Volleyball team! We are so proud of her. She always puts in a 110%. She was a little nervous that she wasn't going to make it, but we new better! CONGRATULATIONS CAMRY!

Friday morning, we got up early and headed to Utah for the Maughan Family Reunion! On our way there Camry got a text from Bryton, her cousin and said they were going to Hogle Zoo. Since we would arrive at the same time, we decided to go, plus we hadn't been to the Zoo in a long time. We met the Nields Family, My Mom, and Mom brough Brooklyn and Taysia. It was a lot of fun seeing all the animals. They had a new baby giraffe, which was adorable. And Camry fell in love with the baby Meerkats. Brooklyn and I rode the Carousel together, because at the time the other kids thought they were to old, but then they decided to ride it anyways. After the Zoo, my Mom, Camry, Brooklyn, and me headed to the mall to do some quick shopping for school clothes. We only had two hours, so we had to make it quick. I miss all the fun stores that are in Utah. Camry got some really cute clothes for school. She is such a beautiful young women!

Friday night, we had a barbeque at the Tolberts. It was nice to just sit and relax and of course eat great food. Amanda and Josh set up a Bouncy House where the little kids spent most of there time wrestling each other. The older kids and the dads played some game with the football on the trampoline. Later that night Spencer and Melini showed a video of where the next years reunion will be held along with a little surprise at the end. THEY ARE PREGNANT! It was a bit shocking, because they have been so quiet and private about the whole baby thing! But they are happy and we are all very excited for them! CONGRATULATIONS!

Saturday, we had to get up early again! We headed up to the Jordnelle Resevoir, where we spent the day sunbathing, boating, playing a little volleyball and riding wave runners. It was a lot of fun! The kids enjoyed playing on the water banana, tubing and playing in the sand. I personally enjoyed the wave runners, but I did manage to do some tubing with Lindsay and Luke. It was so much fun all three of us giggled the entire time. Jeff loved the wave runners as well, and realized he is getting old, because on the tube he felt every bump. Camry enjoyed playing in the water and riding the tube and wave runners. We ended up spending 12 hours at the lake that day, so by the time we arrived home we were all exhausted.


Sunday morning we jumped, ok crawled out of bed and went to the church to watch the ? temple dedication. This was a great experience to be able to view the inside of the temple and be there as a family. This was Camry's first dedication, so it was neat to see her reactions. Before we headed back to Pocatello, we had one last dinner with the entire family. It was great! We don't get to many opportunities to do this, so we were grateful to be able to spend that time.

We want to thank the Tolbert's for a great weekend!!!!!!
