Powell Family Reunion

Just a few weeks ago, we went to a family reunion in Teasdale with Lynda's family. It was such a pretty place. We stayed in cabins and just hung out with family. It was fun to see everyone. It was supposed to be two nights, but Ryder wouldn't sleep. We stayed in a cabin with Brad's Mom and Dad. It doesn't have bedrooms so we just had Ryder's port-a-crib in the room with us. He was so stubborn. He screamed and fought to go to sleep until 3:30 AM. We finally took him on a ride at 3:30 and then we slept in the car for an hour to make sure he was really asleep. We felt bad because we kept Brad's parents up too. (And I think they were already really tired!) Brad's Aunt Andrea took our family picture in the morning. It was a really pretty morning, but windy. I don't think Ryder cracked a smile the whole time. He was tired from his fit the night before and not very cooperative. Here are some of the pictures. Some of them turned out really cute.


This picture was taken toward the end. Ryder had just head butted Brad, and was beyond upset. We left shortly after pictures and Ryder slept almost the whole way home!

Your pictures are so cute!- It is true I am having fun at home- but Part time isnt bad. I wish I could have figured the baby sitter thing out and worked part time longer or maybe even still. It is weird how much i miss it.

We do because we Mexi-Can! said...

That is the worst when you can't get the poor kids to go to sleep! Looks beautiful there. That barn is a great background. You guys look great for being up all night, you can't even tell! I'd be looking all schloppy...I know that's not a real word. But it's a the perfect description don't you think? =)

Hi!! I totally understand how frustrating staying in the same room can be. We went to Bear Lake for a week and every time we would go in our room to go to sleep we would wake up Cade. It was really hard, but fun at the same time. Thanks for your comment, you are so sweet. I just love to see what you are your family are up to. Always something fun and exciting. I feel the same way about your little family. You couldn't have asked for a cuter son. Take care!!

You look so beautiful! That is so hard when your little guy won't sleep, especially when you are not at home.

Why is it so hard for kids to just go with the flow?!!:^) Still cute pics though.

Aren't kids fun! It drives me crazy when Brooke is completely exhausted, yet still won't go to sleep. But the pictures are cute, and Ryder is so adorable you've got to love him even if he doesn't sleep when he's supposed to!

There's nothing like getting back from vacation and everyone sleeping in their own beds! The pics turned out way cute. I love the barn.
