Fleming Family Reunion

This Labor day weekend Aaron and I went to his family's annual Labor Day reunion in Strawberry. The Fleming family is Aaron's Grandma Davis's family. They have been doing this for over 50 years! I had the best time and so did Aaron. Aaron and I even got to use our camping gear for the first time :) Camping is the best. I love camp fires, camping food, being outdoors, but mostly I loved being around good company. We got into camp around 10:30 Friday night and it seemed like every man that was awake came and helped set up our tent. I appreciated that since it was dark and it is becoming a little bit more difficult to bend over :) Aaron has a great family with a lot of good examples. I am thankful we were able to go and be a part of the weekend. Aaron always tells me the best stories of when he was a kid at this reunion and how much fun he had with his cousins. I can't wait till my kids are old enough to make their own memories at this reunion. I sadly however was too lazy to walk to our car and get my camera to capture my own memories. I regret this now because there were some pretty good picture opportunities.

Highlights of the Weekend:
Testimony Meeting
Aaron trying to eat an oreo off his face without using his hands
Good jokes
The annual horse shoe tournament ( Aaron and I were partners, he carried the team)
Chicken Fajitas
The second nights sleep with my jean quilt

It was a good weekend.

Aaron's Toys

When I married Aaron I knew he liked cars and toys, I knew he wanted to work on cars for a living, and I knew he liked to take a gander at Craig's list, but what I didn't know is how MUCH he liked his cars. Every week he has a new idea of the car he wants to fix or of a toy he wants. The past few weeks it has been a pop-up tailer and a mini bike. Luckily every idea doesn't materialize :) Yet in the year and half we have been married a few ideas have come to life or at least have been started. We have been the owners of a sand-rail, which was soon traded in for a Volkswagen bug, which was quickly traded for a motorcycle, and then finally for a fender guitar (kind of random). After the guitar Aaron found the car of his dreams, a 1971 Plymouth Duster. It was the perfect project car that he said he always wanted but never had the opportunity to buy. However, the Duster has been sitting in the garage for the past few months with Aaron only occasionally being able to work on it. So with our baby girl coming it started to make more sense to sell the Duster and wait for the day when he had more time and money for a project car. It still amazes me that we have had that much stuff in such a short amount of time. Hopefully we will have a breather for the next few years while our family grows... somethings tells me though that that will problably not be the case.
