Marsden Reunion 7-16-11

4 years ago my dad and aunts decided it was time to start a family reunion for my grandparents out at Lewisville Park where we have had reunions for my grandmothers family for the last 50 years (marked this year) to celebrate the love that my grandparents had/have and celebrate the line of family they created, even though grandma is not with us I think she is there with us on these days. Normally we hold it in September but after the last three years being rained out, we moved it up to July, so there would be no rain. Thankfully the day clear up and we had a blast with good company, good food, fun entertainment (rocket shooter), the old time tradition of searching for crawdads; which was not as easy as it used to be, little bit of picking on each other, playing at the little park next to us, and just some good fun.   

Hope you have a wonderful weekend this weekend which seems to be starting out beautiful.
Here are some pictures
Enjoy! ~Shaleign

Bellingham 4th of July

With the three day weekend hubs, the boys and I got away; about time too.

Althought we did just go to the beach a few weekends ago Bellingham is my favorite place to visit.

Boat out on Lake Whatcom, hanging by the pool, and just fun in the sun with my brother sister in law and two of my nephews!

The morning of the 4th we went to the park to get the boys tired for the ride home, Mason was ready for the ride while walking back home, he fell asleep in my arms.

After a long drive home, Carter and I stayed up to wach the fireworks together, started in his window then we wrapped up in blanket and went out side.

Hope your 4th of July was as fun filled as ours!
