Our Mother's Day Weekend

On our way to Grandma's house, thanks goodness we don't have to ride on a horse drawn sleigh !

This Mother's day was a little different for our family this year, my baby brother Jonathan returned home from his mission on Thursday. So the weekend was filled with reuniting, meeting new family members and catching up. His homecoming was at 9:00 on Sunday (no sleeping in or breakfast for the Mommy's), but we had a wonderful day full of family.  The strange thing was I didn't get any pictures of Jon, our family or ANYTHING!  I'm am a disgrace to bloggers around the world :(
I did capture our attempt at getting a grandchildren/cousin shot.  It is harder than it looks, we have 10 children under 7 (Parker is the oldest)...then my sister married Nate who has 2 older girls who were very helpful.  Which picture/grouping do you like best ?
The Standing...in birth order  Pose

That didn't work so well so we tried
The Sitting  Pose

We got really brave and tried our luck at
The Family Rock Pose
Luckily no children were injured by falling off (or being pushed off) of the large rock :)  

The boys were climbing on the nets so we thought we would try an action shot...so they wouldn't have to hold still.
The Spiderman Pose

Then we thought of a brilliant idea, put them on a slide... great idea in theory! If only the ones in the middle didn't cry about being crushed :)
The Torture-Chamber Slide Pose

We really did have a great weekend with family, life is always great when you are with your cousins!  With this group there is never a dull moment.
