Rigby Family Reunion

The family reunion this year consisted of 11 kids, 8 better halves married to 8 of those kids, 24 grandkids with 2 more on the way and 1 Grandpa and 1 Grandma
with a grand total of 45 people for 1 WHOLE FAMILY.
Holy Cow! I never really sat down to think of how many there really are, and we were missing Landon and his wife Stacie, which were just sealed in the Navoou Temple. Congradulations you two,wish you could have been here. And of course we were missing Layne that died. So really there should be 48. Have you ever met a bigger family? And we aren't all done having kids yet. By the time we are all done there might be 100 of us, who knows.
So on Saturday Richard, the oldest, had a baptism for his son Hayden in Newton. Then after the baptism we all went to Mink Creek to Callie's In-laws and went repelling. I guess I shouldn't say all of us, because there was a lot that didn't go some went rafting down the Bear River. Me I just sat and held down the ground and observed my husband repelling off a 130 ft cliff. I would've taken a picture but the batteries for my camera were at home charging. Good place for them, right? I tried taking one with my phone but you can't see anything but the mountain and thats not what I was taking a picture of. So no pictures of that adventure.
Sunday, 1st ward was bombarded with Rigby's. We had 2 baby blessings and a homecoming. Good thing they decided to do them on the same day and at the same church, that made it lots easier. Then we went back to Jaren's parents and ate some yummy dutch oven dinner.

Here is a picture of some of the kids having a good time on the tramp

Stopping long enough for a picture. Left to right:Seth, Kimble, Drevin, Gracey, Kailee, and Jace

The 4-wheeler always a big hit for the kids.

Everybody just relaxing and enjoying themselves

Brooklyn's first flying lessons. I think this is a tradition for the Rigby's. They are always doing this with the little kids. I have never seen anybody else do this as much as these guys.

These are all the kids notice the pictures of the ones that weren't there.They always do that if someone is not there. If I don't say so myself I think that my husband is the cutest of them all. Don't you agree, unless you are a member of the family, then I am sure you don't agree.

All of the Grandkids. Notice the 3 little ones in the back. They all wanted their daddy so we had them go stand behind and hold them up so they wouldn't cry.

Here's the WHOLE FAM DAMILY.

Boy it is a pain getting everybody to stand still long enough for a picture, let alone smiling at the same time. But with that big of a family you get what you get and you don't complain.

Holy Cow! Where has the time gone???

Holey Cow time is flying by so fast. We have been so busy. I don't recall what happened to the middle of June, must have been boring because I don't remember what we did. Oh I do remember now, I was doing vinyl like crazy. Sometime in June we went to the lake. No pictures because I wasn't thinking and it's just the lake, just another day for us. But any way at the lake I forgot how old I was and got a massive sunburn, I thought I needed a real good tan, but ended up being a real bad sunburn that peeled and didn't really leave a tan at all, still just as white. NOT WORTH IT!!
So we were at the lake on Saturday and then the next Tuesday I went to Girls Camp, with a really bad sunburn and because I got sunburned so bad my legs and ankles swelled up like a balloon. And they did not go down for a week. Up at girls camp one night I looked at my legs and it really looked liked I weighed 300 pounds, my legs and ankles were so swollen. So being 6 and half months pregnant with a really bad sunburn and swollen legs, girls camp was well lets say it was girls camp. I really enjoyed the theme up at girls camp. It was I love to see the Temple. I t really got to the girls and also the leaders. It made me so happy that I got married to the right man in the right place.My life has been so blessed because of that decision. The spirit was really strong. So that made it all worth it. (And that it was a day shorter I don't think I could have made it another day)
When I got home, the next day was the Logan fireworks so we decided to take the girls there after picking them up from my moms. And thanks again mom for watching my kids while I was a t camp. So Jaren and I went down there got there about 8:30 or so, my mom actually met us there with the girls and watched the fireworks too. But I couldn't say that we watched the fireworks because after they started Jaren and I were worried about the traffic after it was over. Because last year my mom said it took her over an hour to get from the stadium to her house in providence. So we left about 15 min after the fireworks started, the girls were not very happy. We kept trying to tell them that we would see some more the next day in Montpelier, which aren't nearly as good, but that they wouldn't go without seeing any at all. So as we drove away they watched them out the window, and they eventually got over it. So when we went to the fireworks in Montpelier the next night Brooklyn fell asleep the first 5 min and then Gracey wasn't much further behind. So Jaren and I stayed and watched the next 15 min and then went home because they were over,not because we were being boring parents again. Gotta love the Montpelier Fireworks.

These are pictures pictures of us at the Logan fireworks with all the other 10,000 people in Logan.
