Rendon's birthday part 2

So I had forgotten that Sarah and Loren took pictures of Rendon's birthday back in May. Rendon cried when he got his gift from us. Sarah just recently gave these pictures to me and I had to post because Rendon can be so emotional and these pictures depicted the moment so well.

 Oh it's so big...

 I wonder what it is?

 Oh! A bike. But... I...

 I didn't want this bike for my birthday!

 

By the way he loved his bike when he learned it had training wheels. We're all good now.

Branson, Missouri

We took a summer family trip to Missouri for the Ross family reunion. We stayed in Branson Missouri which is so awesome! It's like the old peoples Las Vegas. We got to do a lot of fun things the week we where there and made lots of good memories. Here's our trip.

 Two of the days we spent in Silver Dollar City. This place is like Disneyland Frontierland. The whole place is this Ozark hillbilly frontier park. It was a blast.

 Taking the train.

My boys don't like the sound of the whistle. Wimps.

 

 Getting one of my favorites. Salt water taffy.

 

 We also went goofy golfing because this is what our family is all about. My kids love doing this and with Grandpa being a golfer well we can't pass it up.

 

 

 It was so hot this day. We were dying!

 We also went swimming at the local Branson community swimming pool.

Thanks for visiting.

Springfield, Missouri family reunion

We started off our Missouri trip in Springfield for John's family reunion. This was Great Grandma Ross' side of the family.

John's parents with all their grandson's.

 

The Cathy and Lanny Ross family. Three sons Ryan, Loren & John with their wives and children.

 

Playing back at the hotel with Uncle Loren.

Cousin's

I suppose my boys thought it was time to show their cousin Patrick what it's really like in a house full of boys. I swear he was enjoying it.

Boston cooked french toast for the family. He loves learning new things.

 

 

Brothers. I of course think mine is the most handsome. Just sayin'.

Me feeling fat. I think I was 24 weeks on this trip.

 

 

 

Visiting Great Grandma Taylor. She also lives in Missouri. That's John's Mom in orange.

 

Sarah and Loren.

Ryan and Kate Ross with kids Patrick and Jack.

 

The other Ross boys of the family Charlie and Truman. Yep it's only boys in this family.

 

 

We also celebrated Great Grandma Ross' birthday while we were there. She and I have the same birthday.

John's parents with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Joe. Lanny's sister.

Great Grandma Ross' with 5 of her 7 Great Grandson's. Yay for boys! In 10 years from now the family reunion should probably involve some sort of physical contact sport. Ha!
