2nd Annual Don & Shirley Hallstrom Family Reunion

Grandma Hallstrom and I were in charge of the 2nd Annual Don & Shirley Hallstrom Family Reunion.  It was held on Saturday, July 12th.  I reserved my ward building so that we could eat lunch there and have a talent show.  We set up the gym the night before.


We ate pulled pork sandwiches, corn and black bean salsa, watermelon, jello, salad, etc.  The talent show turned out really nice.  Grandma was especially thrilled that some of her grandchildren sang for her.  

Aunt Janette's wonderful presentation



Dad brings back memories with classic old home movies.
Seth's awesome song about parenting
Nathan sings a song from My Servant Joseph. He played the role of Joseph Smith a couple years ago.

We cleaned up after the talent show, took a group family photo, 
and went back to our house for visiting and dessert.  
We borrowed a giant Jenga game from Kevin and Becky Ward 
for something to do in the evening on our back porch.  It was a big hit.  
Thanks to all who came and made it such a memorable day.

Olson Family Visit

My sister, Jenny and her family drove up from Las Vegas for a visit.  
They stayed at our house from Saturday evening until mid morning on Tuesday.
They came to church with us.  Jenny and I had two short getaways from the kids.  On Sunday's getaway, we drove up to the Logan Temple to walk around.  
We enjoyed the peace and quiet as we walked around the temple grounds.
                                         Hello HUGE pink flower at the Logan Utah Temple!
Everyone loves the trampoline!  The dads supervised.
On Monday, we went had a picnic lunch at the splash pad 
and then went to Willow Park to play and feed ducks.
Feeding the ducks is fun to do.

And a hot day out in the sun isn't complete without Macey's soft serve ice cream cones. 
Ben and Tyler are buddies
Jenny and Seth went out on a date and Sam and I watched all 6 kids.  We fed them tacos for dinner, made the kids earn their cookies, and I painted Sarah's fingernails a dark purple color with sparkles!
                                   Cookies = bribe to get kids & cousins to pick up backyard
                                          Played Aunt Lisa and gave Miss Sarah a manicure 
After Jenny and Seth returned, we had a dance party downstairs complete with glowsticks.  
The Walt Disney Channel on Pandora is fantastic.
