Quick Family Photos

While our family photographer (Tera) was in town I wanted to get new family pictures taken.  We pretty much just met quickly after the kids got out of school and I got off work and took pictures in what we were wearing.  It's not what I would have chosen for everyone to be wearing, but it was nice to have a new updated family picture.  This is who we truly are.  And I loved the background at my brother Lee's house.



Bump surprised us by bringing a bunch of BYU stuff for us to change into.  He really wanted a BYU family picture.  So, this is for him.  Go Cougars!


Are you Utes saying something bad about our team?

Christmas Reunion 2013

Right after Christmas we had such a fun opportunity of going to a cabin with the Wright side of the family for a Christmas Reunion!  Yes, Uncle Lee actually found a place big enough to contain all of us!  We had everyone in town except for Aunt Jamie's family, who are coming out in February to see Amber's baby when she has her, and Uncle Thad's family who are in the process of moving from Boston to Louisiana.

The cabin was actually like two cabins attached with a massive breezeway.  The breezeway contained a hot tub, Foosball table and pool table.  The hot tub was only for adults and teenagers, but Grandma Wright has a way of letting everyone have fun.  She invited all the kids to come and just put their feet in with her!  They were singing and having all kids of fun together!

Here is where you could find the little boys most of the time (if they weren't out sledding).
Corban, Peter, TJ and Lewis





Gabby had so much fun out sledding and playing with her cousins in the loft that I hardly saw her on this trip.

There was a lot of relaxation time.  I don't know how many books my dad ended up listening to!

Plenty of nap time.

And tons of sledding!  Quincy got a little bit dramatic each time the sled would crash and kept rolling herself down the mountain. Uncle Erick was a good helper for the kids on the hill.

The cabin had a really long and super fun zip line.  Most of the kids tried it and they forced the adults to each have a turn as well.

What is that nasty hat Uncle Lee is wearing?

I think Quincy and Bailey went on the zipline the most!


The kids would get going so fast on the zip line that someone had to be at the bottom to catch them before they slammed into the tree.  Here is McKenna catching Quincy.

Bailey, Lily, and Gabby waiting for a turn.

Gabby was scared to go at first because she hates heights, but after trying it once she loved it!

Uncle Erick brought his guns all the way from Georgia!  The boys went out shooting.  Corban shot once and decided it wasn't for him.


The best thing on the trip?  Cousins, of course!

Aunt Tera, the good photographer.  She tried to help me to get better.

Bump and Corban had to leave early for a dentist appointment.  So, they hitched a ride with Aunt Tracy and Conner who were leaving early as well.  Good-bye!

After they left we headed over to Bryce Canyon with everyone.  It was beautiful!

What a great way to spend the New Year!

Thank you Uncle Lee for making this possible for everyone!  We had such a great time!  It couldn't have been better!
