Good thing we (mostly) love them!
My mom decided to come last minute to visit and attend her mother's family reunion. I never met my grandma Betty (she died 30 years ago) but from what people say, she was a wonderful person, a talented singer, beautiful and an incredible mother to 11 children (my mom was #4) so she is a saint in my mind. I have always had a desire for a large family so it must have come from my Grandma and my mom (she has 8).
The Pearson reunion was really great. I was happy to get to meet some of my grandma's siblings and other family members.

Isn't my mom so darn cute! She will kill me for telling you but she is 63 years old and still a looker!My mom bought the boys some monster soccer shirts. They picked them out and have worn them for 2 days going on 3.
Ruby with her grandma that sings to her. She loves it.
Grandma is a great story teller.
My brother Parker and his wife Lark (darn no pics, they are so cute) came to visit my Grandma Fillmore. Isaac and Luke loved playing with their cousins even though it was a short visit.

FUN FACTS:
...Afton and Isaac are only a few months apart and Miriam and Ruby wear the same sized diapers. Mimi is 18 months and Ruby is 6 months. Isaac did not drop Ruby
We also had the opportunity to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house with Kyle's family. We love our families!

Your mom looks great and I am glad Isaac didn't drop Ruby!
Yes Ruby is a ringer for her Mom. Fun times, fun pictures. That is actually Aunt Virginia in that Pearson family shot. I don't think Aunt Margret was there this year.
You're my favorite BIG person red head. :) That's cool you went to that open house, too. Isn't it beautiful? And I think Ruby really is a perfect blend of the two of you. She's soooo cute!
