Playing Catch-up

The last month of our lives has been filled with family reunion vacations, and moving. I am finally able to settle down and tell all those who care what has been happening in the Dunn family for the last month in the next few posts. The next post is about our Reunions, I will post about our house in few days.

SOWARDS REUNION:

There were so many other people taking pics that I didn't think about taking any myself. Hopefully I can get some more pics from other members of the family.

In mid-July we all met at a Cabin in the Mountains of Heber. AZ. The cabin was huge so all 13 adults and 14 grandkids fit comfortably. My sister-in-law Joyce was in charge of coordinating everything. We had an S.O.S. theme (Sowards on Survival) where we all planned survival classes to teach to everyone. Grandma had crafts or activities for the kids to do each day. We were each in charge of a dinner and a breakfast too. We made Steak and twice baked potatoes for dinner and waffles, eggs and bacon for breakfast. There was a volleyball court, a hammock, and swing set and a zip line. We had a great time!

DUNN REUNION:

At the end of July and the beginning of August we went to Lake Powell in southern Utah. We stayed on 2 house boats for four nights and 5 days. There were 20 adults and 7 kids, so it was a little cozy, yet comfortable. I took it upon myself to plan and buy the food for everyone’s dinners. I had fun planning it, but doing it was a little more stressful then I thought it would be. During the day, someone would drive the house boats further into the lake while others went out on the ski-boat and jet-skis. At night we would dock the boats together and enjoy company with the family on the other boat. Whitney loved the water and enjoyed swimming, but didn’t like her life jacket too much. We had fun and are glad we went.

We're having a GIRL!

We hope you voted right!We found out today that we're having a GIRL! We are soooo excited for Whitney to have a little sister to play with. The ultrasound went great and she looks healthy and she is growing right along with her due date(eventhough I look further along). Hopefully we can come up with a name before she's a week old :)

Dress-up

I don't know what it is about dressing up, but it seems like little girls just love to do it. Anything will work...even bibs! Whitney wore these accessories for hours and just loved it.

Slingpea Website

Yeah!! My website is finally finished, www.slingpea.com! The site is for the baby slings that I make here at home and sell to help with the family income. My brothers Sam and Ben have been helping me get a website on the web for about a year now, and it is finally finished. Ben edited the pictures and made them look good and Sam put the site together and made it all work. Thanks Connie for providing friends as models and for taking the pictures too. I am so pleased with how it turned out... it looks sooooo professional. Check it out, I know you'll be impressed. Feel free to tell your friends to get me some business:) Thank you so much for all your work Sam and Ben!! Love you.

Dinosaur Digs

On Monday we went the the "World's largest Dinosaur Museum" at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi Utah. They claim to be the biggest, but it turns out the 99% of their fossils are fake! It was a little disappointing to find that out, but we still tried to have a good time.

It reminded me of an anniversary trip Brig and I took to Chicago where we went to see "King Tut" at the museum only to find out at the end that it was a hologram of him and that the real corpse was too precious to let anyone see so it stayed locked away in Cairo.

After the museum we went to the petting zoo where Whitney got to ride her first horse and loved it! Most of the animals apparently didn't like the petting part because they stayed far away from the fence.
