Over Memorial Day weekend my brother and his family came from Colorado, and my sister came from Provo. All 12 of my parents grandkids came together for a fun filled weekend. I have a lot of memories playing with my cousins and it was so fun to see all of them together. They played and played and played. My sister and her hubby and 2 kids stayed at our house and we kicked off the week by going to the Hogle Zoo. I got to be a zookepper for a day!! Really, I hoarded kids more than watching animals.

On Saturday we had the Norman Family Reunion. This family is so large!! When my great grandparents died they had 44 grandchildren and 1oo great grandchildren and now they all have children, and their children's children. Seriously, there's a lot. I only knew about a tenth of the people there. But still it was nice to look around and see all the amazing people that came from my great grandparents. I feel lucky to have known them and especially for being named after my great grandmother Alice. They were wonderful people who did a lot of good in this world.
On Sunday and Monday we spent more time with cousins playing at Nana's house on her big water slide and play set and played a little baseball. All in all it was great weekend with family! I love my Family!

I Love our family too. I can't think of anything I enjoy more than to watch my grandkids play with each other in my back yard. I LOVE that. I truly want "Grandma's house to be the place where cousins go to become BEST FRIENDS!
Love Ya a Ton!
