Astle Reunion in CA

I'm so behind!  It was a busy week last week, but I'll get to that later.  For now, here are some pictures from our reunion at my parents' house in California.  Jeremy was only there for a day because he had to go back to work and my brother was working pretty much the whole time too, so that was a bummer, but other than that, everyone was there.  Most of these pictures are from my mom because I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked.  My parents moved last September (or October?) into a beautiful house with room for all of us!  It was nice to have so much space and all be together.  They have a great pool too which of course all the kids loved.  There are 12 grandkids now and my sister is actually due today with #13! (Her #6!)  She is amazing and never lets anything slow her down.  I don't know how she does it.

Anyway, here we go...

Day 1.  We came straight here on Sunday after camping with the Nowlands.  Jeremy left Monday evening.

 Amy's Sydney is so cute - she always has one thumb in her mouth and one finger in her belly-button.  My little sister Heidi used to do the finger in the belly button thing too. :)

 These boys love Grandpa!

 Singing on Sunday night...

 We had family pictures taken on Monday morning.

 This was the "off camera" area.

 And here are a few of the pics:

I know.  Cuteness overload.

And the whole gang:

Fun in the pool:

Eating meals on the deck:

From their backyard, you can walk down to Folsom Lake, which we did on Tuesday.

Little fisherman. :)

I should have had this guy in his swimsuit, but that didn't stop him!

Sam and Rob.

Cute pregnant Amy!

These two look like they could be brother and sister:

 I tried to get a picture of the three 2 yr-olds, but this was the best I got.

 Eli and his buddy Russell.

 Grandpa getting Anna to sleep...or himself...

Doing crafts:

Decorated aprons:

We also went bowling one day.  Connor latched himself on to my dad the whole time Jeremy was gone.  It was pretty cute.

Heidi's B-day!  Heidi almost always has her birthday during some family reunion.  Lucky gal. :)  This was Friday night, and Jeremy came back late that night.  Yippee!

Sisters, sisters...

Playing Life!  Haha, we hadn't played in ages.  Sam had a slow rough start, but won in the end!

Our last night, sitting by the pool:

Cuties!

Aww, Wendy and Michael.

This kid kills me.

Vanessa and Eli - such a cute picture.  Eli loves his 4 yr-old cousins!!

And Connor and Garrett - only 5 weeks apart.

We also went to the park one day and played kickball, but I didn't bring my camera!  Most of the time was spent playing in the pool though, which was great!
