On Saturday, June 3 we got up at 6am and drove to Paragonah, Utah for the Gunderson (Greg's mom's side) Family Reunion. We stayed in a cabin that was the perfect size for everyone and just about all of the relatives were able to attend!
Greg is the oldest cousin on BOTH the Gunderson and the Burr side. Here he is with all of his Gunderson cousins.
The Burr grandkids (and me): Abby, Leslie, Joel, Emily, Vanessa, and Meric. This fall there will be THREE more!

Greg had fun playing games with his cousins and brother Eric.
Here is Greg with his four siblings. Yep, they are definitely related! In picture: Aubry, Greg, Eric, Rachel, and Malerie.
Our little family...some day our kids will learn how to smile during pictures. It was a great reunion with great food, visiting, games, and the not-to-be-forgotten lip sync competition. Lets just say Greg performed a Spice Girls song with his brother and brothers-in-law. Although we weren't able to stay at the reunion long, we were glad we were able to come!
Emily started swim class a couple of weeks ago at the YMCA. She is progressing and LOVES her class (and her new watermelon swimsuit).
After her first week we took all of the girls swimming at the YMCA. It is difficult to go swimming with three little kids when none of them can swim, but we all survived and turns out, they are all cute!
We bought Emily this awesome magic clip Sleeping Beauty doll and told her that if she did everything on her chart for 2 weeks she could get it. It was awesome! She cleaned the toy room, made her bed, cleared off the table, did service, etc. We were so proud of how hard she worked! Now we have to figure out how to get her to do that stuff ALL of the time!

Leslie and Abby playing in the grass at the park.
Abby LOVES playing with baby dolls. Unfortunately this doll is her favorite and it cries all of the time... it totally throws me off!
She is the cutest and most playful when she is supposed to be in bed...
My mom was showing me some pictures from her yearbook the other day and left it at our house. I came across this picture and had to put it on our blog. Don't you think we look alike??
Greg and I went on an awesome date on Tuesday night to 'The Phantom of the Opera'. It was an amazing performance and always so fun to go out!
Thanks Joel for the awesome tickets! We had a great time!
Just in case you needed to see another cute picture...
"Look mom, I can drink out of a straw!"
Unfortunately she lets me know that she is done eating after she pours the remainder of her water all over her. I guess I'm happy that it's water and not something sticky or that will stain.
When I was a kid my mom made me, Whitney, and Ashley name sweatshirts (I still have mine...it's a little small). So, we decided to do it for our girls. I couldn't get a normal picture of them in the shirts, but at least their personalities really come out in this picture!!
