A Little Romney/Brett (or HSM) Time

Rick, Marci, Bryce and Jenni and her girls came to Utah during my last week there for a family reunion, and it was so great to see everyone. My favorite thing about the Brett family? When they are together, it's like being in the movie High School Musical, so it's always a blast (and I'm not kidding)!

Grammy Romney
Grammy turned 95 while we were there and we loved visiting her. We went a couple of times and my kids were pretty good, but it's tough to be in a place where EVERYTHING is breakable. Hopefully they will remember her and how much she loved seeing their cute faces. She kept saying, "Where did you get such handsome boys???"

Children's Museum Part II
We had such a great time at the Children's Museum, we wanted to show our cousins. Most of the Brett's met us at the mall, but those without kids ditched to go shopping! (I don't blame them). My kids loved rediscovering everything all over againa and Mimi and Papa were always ready to play.

Pool Party

We are so glad Aunt Becky has a pool. We spent all day lounging in the sun and eating and eating and eating. Jace was in heaven with so many kiddos to play with and never wanted to come home. My favorite part was all the girly chatting and the million times I head people break out into song, then have others join in...harmonizing or beat boxing in the back. Or the piano playing with the girls gathered round, or a teenage boy, strumming a guitar, thinking up new lyrics. It was a constant music fest and I loved it. They are all such an amazingly talented and uninhibited family. I just bask in their abilities when I'm around and am startled by how few I have!

Disco Night

Everyone was so glad Becky turned 50, so we had a real reason to party, and party we did. It was an awesome night and the Brett Family singers stole the show. Everyone was supposed to come in costume, and when you are with the Brett's you know people really will, so I wore my mom's dress from 1977. She wore it to her wedding luncheon!

Strike!

We also all got to disco bowl together. Bowling is such a great family activity. My kids loved it, except James who just couldn't handle so many hours of fun. He fell asleep on me, and wonderful Kelly got blankets and pillows from her car to make him comfortable.

Thank You! Mimi and Papa and all the Brett family for such a wonderful week together. Can't wait for the next get together...you really are a fun bunch!
