The birthday BASH!!

We had a HUGE birthday party for 3 of our kids this year! I've decided that we can only handle ...and afford... a party every other year!! We got a Costco cake and over 1000 water balloons! We started filling them up at 4 o'clock the day BEFORE the party. And it took us until an hour before the party to finish filling them!
Needless to say, it didn't nearly that long to use them!! But the kids had BLAST!! We had the kids line up along the curb and then Marcus rode ISABEL'S bike in front of them while they nailed him with balloons!! It was HILARIOUS!!

This is an action shot!!! Go Peyton and Kaden!!

Some GENIUS came up with the idea to play a "GAME" with the kids. We split them up in 4 groups and had them pick up the balloon pieces!! Clean up was a breeze and they didn't know they were cleaning!! Ha ha!!

Por-Ben-Ruesch Family Reunion

This years family reunion was too short!!! We were only able to stay 3 days. But we filled those days with a lot of fun!!
A family tradition, every year we take a family photo with the infamous sign!! My Great Uncle Vernon painted this before he died.

JaKobe was a good sport. He was trying to learn to walk and the rough terrain was difficult, but it didn't get to him much!

The 4 wheeler is ALWAYS popular!! Rides, rides and more RIDES!!!!!

This reunion is the one that my two cousins that died came to. Their spirits was very strong, especially on those long 4 wheeler rides. We also past the sight where the accident happened. My Aunt and Uncle put signs up as a memorial. I still think DAILY of them and hope they are happy and taking care of my Aunt, heaven knows she needs it!! Love you Edwards and Micah and Shilo!! xoxo

Boating and Krystal's B-day party!!

Krystal and Jeff threw a HUGE bash at the lake for her birthday. They rented a water trampoline and a snow cone machine. We had beer brats and hot dogs. And LOTS of fun with the boat and jet ski's!! Thanks for having a birthday Krys!!

This is Jeff's AWESOME mullet wig! Zach just had to try it out!!!

The water tramp is not as easy as it looks....okay maybe it is if you're young!! This is Krystal, Bethany(Krystal's other sis-in-law) and myself TRYING to just STAND on it!! It was very comical! We had a blast!!

Kaden water skiing!! He rocks!!

This was on the 4th of July. We went up at the butt crack of dawn and had EXCELLENT water to ski on. The best part...we were leaving when all the crowds were getting there!!

JaKobe's 1st bday party

We have a tradition that on our kids 1st bday they get a teddy bear cake. My Mom did it for all of us so, I have done it for all of mine. This is a picture of JaKobe loving his!!
He thought it was so cool that we were all singing, of course he didn't know it was for him!!

He would have rather just played with the tissue paper!!

Yes I did this!!! Yay me!!!!

Happy 1st birthday JaKobe!!
