Cody returned from his 2 year mission in Calgary Canada to a BIG homecoming! Besides Justin, we were all there with leis and signs. Yes, we love our brother/uncle!
The 2010 Crippen Reunion included such fun activities as chicken wrangling, the beach, boat fun at Lake Elsinore, grown-up kids temple trip, going to a jump house, karaoke, Scenic tour of lake Elsinore via double-decker bus, fire pit, family pictures, and so much more. The best part? Being together as a family and watching the closeness that exists between cousins.
Angie got crazy socks for the whole gang... just a sampling of the silliness.
3 generations of Crippen boys singing their hearts out!
Good to see the 'book-end brothers' back together again!
Sea+Sand=FUN!!!
Uncle Tino finally found a solution for babysitting all the kiddos...
Daddy took all 3 girls out on the Lake.
I think I have a picture with all the girls and Autumn... Like me, she appreciates a napping child.
We went with Cody to the Newport Temple, peaceful and beautiful. But the car ride home took the cake! All the siblings sandwiched into Chris's Monster-van... LAUGHING all the way! One of my favorite nights. Sometimes when your a parent, you forget that you are also a sister/brother. Take the kids away for a bit and you remember once again. So fun.
Tino and I found our dream house!
I don't know how my Dad did it... but he managed to get us this AWESOME ride... we took a long trip around to old homes, schools, churches, and other significant places of our past. I don't know about the 2 year olds... but I really enjoyed the ride.
A few family Pictures... What is your favorite?
In our Spare Time...
All Tino really wanted to do was hit the water every spare moment. We went to the beach 4 times in a week! Not that the girls or I minded...
"Which one is Daddy?"
Tino flashing a shaka as he rides the wave in.
2 more U.B.G.B. in the making!
