2008 Family Reunion at the Beach House

Every year, my family (my 10 brothers and sisters, their families, and my parents) gather together in ONE huge house on the beach where we spend the week swimming, surfing, boating, playing, talking, laughing, and eating....and this year we added, and vomiting! Despite the fact that almost half of us got sick, we still had such an amazing vaction. We soaked up some much needed sun, pigged out on way too much junk food, and just enjoyed being together as a family. We took about a million pictures, but here are some of my favorites.....
This is ALL of us, except for my youngest sister who couldn't come because of a brand-new job as a CES seminary teacher! She was definitely missed.

Hi Heidi,
I found your blog link on Randi's blog. I hope you don't mind me stalking.....(: Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your past posts and looking at all of the great pictures. You have such a beautiful family. I especially enjoyed the pictures on THIS post! I graduated from high school in San Diego and looking at your beach pictures sure made me miss living there. Looks like you guys had fun. If you don't mind I'll stop by your blog to visit from time to time. (:
Take care,
Andria

Heidi,

I don't know if you remember me or not, but I thought I would write to say hi. I came across your blog a few days ago and have enjoyed reading about your family and seeing all your pictures. The last time I saw you was at BYU and I think you were expecting your first baby. My how your family has grown. You've got a beautiful family!
I enjoyed seeing pictures of your parents and brothers and sisters as well. I have sweet memories of my time growing up in California in the Moorpark 1st ward.
I'd love to catch up with you some time. I have a blog as well, but have it only open to invited readers. If you send me your email I'll put you on my permission list for you to be able to see some pictures of my family as well. My email is: bretshannon@gmail.com.
Say hi to your family for me!
