We were lucky this year to be able to get a week off of work to go to McCall, Idaho to be part of the Comstock reunion. We left after meeting on friday and traveled to kaysville where we spent the night.
The next morning we woke up to travel the rest of the eleven hours to make it to the lodge. Coleton did great on the car ride, we had Brandons lap top so we could watch a movie, with snacks, books, and toys.
I though did not do so well on the trip. I get really car sick and even though i took motions sickness medicine, i was still sick. After we got to McCall we took a shopping trip to the store to get all of the supplies for dinners that week, which i was in charge of (because i love doing it). Sunday morning we were up getting ready for church and i was still a little sick from the traveling so after sacrament meeting we came home to get me feeling better. Luckly by that evening i was feeling alot better and ready for the busy week ahead of us. We had the chance during the week to do a lot of fun activities.
We went to the firestation were we got an amazing tour of their gear and trucks, we went out on the lake
and did a little canoeing with Candice and her family, we went window shopping which Brandon and i love to do, went to eat at the pancake house which has great food,
went swimming at the pool/hot tub,
went ice skating,and just had a lot of fun being with family.
Coleton loved being able to spend time with his cousins and loved being around grandparents.
After a week of fun we had to headback to Cedar so that Brandon could get back to work. We had a ton of fun like we always do and cant wait for next years McCall Trip!!
The living room is set up so Coleton and i can live here during the day since our basement is not yet finished. Rusty our painter is still working on the house along with working on the basement to tape and texture the walls so that we can lay the carpet down there.
The day we moved in we actually didnt have hot water, nor did we have a stove, cabinets, sink, or dishwasher. And the next day we learned that the two bathrooms upstairs did not have a working shower. This is a picture of our first meal in hurricane. It was a hot pocket that i cooked in the microwave which is the only thing i have to cook with!
To add to the fixing list i went to use the washer and dryer that we got with the house, i came to learn that the washer floods over and that the dryer had to be rewired so we could plug in so we wont be using it for a week or so till my dad can come and try fixing it!!
Though it seems kind of rediculous that everything is not working we are really happy to finally be in our first home. We know that we have alot to work on and fix but we think we are up to the challenge and are so grateful for the chance we have be have this home!!
Or bedroom is for the most part together but not much else is...
With the carpet being layed as we moved our stuff in, it is all in one room so i have a lot to organize. Right now we are staying at Brandons parents until i have more organized but we will be heading here to stay in a few days so i am going to have to really get to work!!
County guitar hero!!! He was really wanting it and so they were sweet enough to get him one with some money to buy a guitar for it...
Him just playing outside in the enoch house..
Coleton has just realized how fun stuffed animals are and here he istrying to teach the monkey how to play the piano which he loves to do..
Coleton did his best to help..
I dont think he was helping that much!
He loved playing inside though! Coleton also realized how to use a crayon, yay!!
Wait, thats not good!!
Luckly it came off easy, now crayons are not where he can reach them. Here is a video from a while ago but i forgot we had, i thought it was pretty cute..
This year, since the familys are getting so big, it was decided that we would try to be outside as much as we could so that it would not seem so caotic. 
My parents decide to trasform the shop in the back to a storage place for all of the activities
and a eating area which worked great. All meals were eaten out side were we had burner, grills, warmers, sinks, tables, fridges, and everything else you would need for a meal. We also had all of the snack machines going for ice cream cones,
snow cones, ice dispensers,
water dispensers, cotton candy machine, and more. My mom also planned table decorations which corresponded to all the activities along with clothes for all of the grankids to wear
so they would match so things looked great. Each day of the reunion had a theme like fiesta
, birthday party, fourth of july, carnival, and more. The days were planned out to a T so that everyone would know the activites for the day even scheduling naps for the families so we would not get warn out. 
Along with the different parties that were planned for the evenings we had a great time doing little crafts like play dough, tye-dye, and decorating bags. The best thing of all was of course the pool!! 
With so many small children safety was first there was always at least two adults in the pool and a life guard on watch. 
Everyone stayed safe and had a blast. 
They also had snack breaks
so no one would get to hungry.
Things were so planned and it could not have gone any better then it did!! My parents did such a great job making these reunions special for everyone and we all had an amazing time! 
Thanks mom and dad!! 
Here is an update of the five babies..
