Gibson Family Reunion
This last weekend we went up to Heber City for a Gibson Family Reunion. We learned a lot about the many James' in the family and got to know each other better and had a lot of fun. I am putting all of the pictures in the slide show so I don't have to upload them twice. If you have questions let me know!
We did do a kids talent show! Wow! We have some very talented kids in our family. Matt composed a song using Garage Band. Awesome Dude! Megann sang a solo as did Libby. Davey and Lilli sang with their parents. Henry made his pig noise, I was just proud that he was willing to perform in front of everyone.
We also played Gib-ardy, (Jeopardy). There was a short one for the kids and then a full blown version for the adults! Awesome job Jon and Monica, or as he would say, "Good Job Bud." Jon was our game show host and Monica spent an hour and a half interviewing EVERYONE to get the answers. It was awesome. Tom and Liz kicked our butts though.
Dave and Tanya did a treasure hunt for the kids, it was great. Libby was still pretending to look for clues hours later. She would make them up and go pretend to find them. I am so proud of her. At the end Mike did a presentation about where the Gibson family comes from. Very interesting stuff.
Liz did a fun craft with the kids. They decorated visors. Libby was at the table the longest and her hat was the most elaborately decorated. She was planning ahead what she was going to use. She amazes me. They all had so much fun doing that. Henry made his but wouldn't wear it, he made Mike wear it.
Jon and Monica organized it all and did a fabulous job. Since the Gibson family is Irish it was decorated for St. Patty's day! They even made a shirt for everyone. Henry's was the best, it had a dinosaur on it. And they put on all the shirts "I *Shamrock* Jim" They are awesome.
There was a black Lab that showed up in the back yard. Matt had a lot of fun playing with him.
If I have forgotten something let me know I and I will post my thought on it!

Libby's Graduation
At Libby's pre-school graduation they all got to pick one story that they had written during the year and read it for everyone. As they did through the year after they read the story they would take one comment and one question. The running comment that night was, "I like your pictures." They were all very cute. We are so proud of you Libby. She is reading like crazy and learning new things every day! Good job kiddo.
'08 4th of July
For the 4th we went to see Wall-e. That night we went to my parents to watch fireworks. The kids sat it the back of our car, helps keep them away from the fireworks. The adults wanted a seat too so we, I mean they, sat in the back of John and Heather's van. The kids got a kick out of yelling "Run Grandpa, RUN!" as he lit each firework. They had so much fun! Thank you Grandpa! (Sorry that the pictures aren't very good. I was using my cell phone at night. Guess it isn't the best under those circumstances.)

Scrabble
On Friday night we had our friends over for dinner and fun. We ended up playing two games of Scrabble. The first game I did farely well for myself. But we were taking 9 tiles each. The second game we only took 7 tiles each. What a difference that makes. though it could have been because of the tiles we were all pulling. See picture to see what I mean! The top left was mine, top right Corrine's and the bottom was Mike's. I think mine was the worst.
