Wiser Family picture

It's hard to get a great family picture, but here is the group and a little personality showing through. Fun times had by all. My children refer to this reunion as the "8 days with Benji (the dog)". They based their time around Benji.




Here is Tim, Lucinda, Theron and Mark Wiser. It has been 8 years
since this many of us got together.









Here is Katherine Wiser, Leslie Wiser, Kate Wiser, Katie Evans and Lucinda Wiser. It was fun to get pictures like these.

What's going on around here

My niece Melissa asked me for an update so here goes. Our house is till on the market but n0t much is happening with it. So I will settle in and get the kids ready for school. Phil is loving his job, it is going much slower than we thought it would but hopefully soon things will pick up so they can grow the company. Jesse is ready to start school. He has lost 2 teeth this week and one more will be out by the reunion time. I am doing a lot of quilting right now. I will bring my projects with me to the reunion so you can see them. I am now going from quite a novice beginner to a more advanced beginner sewer. I am doing a more complicated quilt right now and am quite excited about how it is coming together.
Looking foward to seeing you all. I love your blogs and I will do better at keeping up on my blog.

Rain Dance

It was so fun to watch. We were eating dinner outside, the wind came up, the clouds began to form. The lightening and thunder started in the distance and quickly got close, we moved everyhing under the porch and it began to rain very hard. They boys thought this was great and they went out in the rain and began to dance. I took a quick clipse of it because it was so funny. Hunter called it the happy dance as he was galloping from one side of the deck to the other. Before long they were both just dancing and laughing and having a great time.

The Wiser reunion in Elk WA

Walking every morning at 9:30 AM is a daily routine that I have participated in and I have even made it around the lake and even a tour around Mark and Kate's Property.







Every day the group gets bigger. I imagine this morning we will be one great big group. Everyone who is coming is here now. It will be fun to see them. They got here late, stayed up late and are sleeping in late.

Swimming at Grandma Evans

Finally summer has come, all those days in the bath tub with life jackets payed off because now they can use their new skills in real life. They had a great day and Jesse is learning to swim without his life jacket this year because he can touch the bottom. Hunter can stand on the round edge along the front of the pool, but if he slips off of his tippy toes then he goes under. Next year Hunter you can do it without your life jacket. We remembered our sunscreen this time, 2 weeks ago we didn't put any on and we were all burned to a crisp.

Day three at Thanksgiving Point

Thanksgiving Point

Jesse, Hunter, Grandma Wiser and Max posed in front of a big
cow as we were coming into the animal farm. The kids had a
lot of fun in the barn before we even went out to see the
animals.






The kids played in and around the jail and the 3 other building
for over an hour. I have a lot of cute pictures of that time, but
this one just sooo cute. Callie definately had front and center stage
with these boys.





We went on a wagon ride. The kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed
the ride. Here are some of us







and here are the rest of us. We had a great time and a great day.
I am glad that we all made the effort to be together for one day.

Second half of day two. Tom's house

Grandpa Gledhill is holding baby Gracie. Just as I got my camera
out and took this picture, Gracie decided to start crying. I tried
but it is a good picture of Grandpa.







Hunter, Grandma Wiser and Baby Gracie. Hunter wanted to learn
how to hold a baby with Baby Gracie, but I told him that when we
get back to Boise he can hold the Edvalson baby or the Bird baby.
He kinda understood but still wanted to hold Gracie.




We went out and played tennis on their sports court until it got too
dark to play. We only lost one ball out of six. It was a fun game.



We met Grandpa Gledhill over at Tom's house. He hadn't seen my kids for a year. He had a dentist appointment later in the week and he came a few day's early and I made the trip to SLC with Grandma Wiser so that he could be around us for 2 days. It was a great trip. We got to see Baby Gracie, spend time with the cousins and Grandpa Gledhill got to spend 2 days around all 6 of his grandchildren. Here are just a few pictures of that first day together. We just stayed at Tom's house and let the cousins be together and we got to hold and be around Gracie. She is doing well and slowly gaining weight. She is now on room air and that gives Michele some freedom around the house.
