Things I've Learned

So I've learned a few things over the last few weeks. Let me give some background. . . We just took a trip to CDA Idaho for a week and a half for my older brother's wedding/family reunion. We had the times of our lives. I've tried to post as many pictures as possible to let those who were there see them, and those who were not - to see what a blast it was. Okay, things I've learned while there. . .

-It's possible to have the best parents in the world as examples to show you how to successfully make it through 40 years of marriage.(my parents anniversary was also this weekend)
-Uncle Russell has NEVER ending energy and is completely entertaining to children of all ages. They flock to him and you know what? He always makes them feel special - whatever it is they are interested in doing - that's what they do. He's a great example to Matt and I of how we want to be with our kids.
-It's possible for 6 baby girls to be born in one year in one family. . . I got a picture of Harley and Emma who are 18 days apart but that's it. . sorry!
-It's possible, even at my advanced age of 30, to still put my foot in my mouth. And likewise, it is never too late and you are never too old to learn from your siblings and parents on how to be a better person and how to improve yourself. This week was eye-opening for me.
-Uncle Steven Daines has a never-ending sense of humor and brings out the little kid in my husband. . . literally.
-Aunt Cassie has the ability to plan and coordinate an amazing reunion - by the way - you must be exhausted.
-Candy and I have the ability to haul 7 kids up there on our own without any husbands . . . Including taking on a horribly mean guy in Dillon. I still wonder what would have happened if he had dared get out of his car. . .
-There is never an age too old to jump off a dock into a freezing cold lake.
- It actually is possible to get a huge 300 lbs (approx) person stuck in the sand. . . Who knew.
-I have amazing children and amazing nieces and nephews. It is always possible and awesome to add more to the bunch. This last week we got 4 new ones to our family and they are amazing!
-The term sister is not just defined by blood alone. Kami - we love you and think you are the perfect addition to our family!
-It is never too late in life to find true love after years of hardship... As cheesy as it sounds, true love does exist - we are soooo excited for Matt and Kami - the new and expanded Davis family. We wish we lived closer to you guys!
-There is never a wrong time to apologize to someone who is hurt and to make relationships better and improved. . . .
-My Davis family, all members, are amazing and giving people. We had the time of our lives and cannot wait till next years' reunion!

Hope you enjoy all of the pictures!
