Gunnell family reunion

The second weekend of July we had a very fun and entertaining weekend planned for us by Grandpa Gunnell. He invited all of his kids and grand kids to stay at the Arizona Grand Resort Thurs-Sunday. It was so much fun to have everyone there. I know we all had a wonderful time and feel blessed to be part of such a great family. I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I would have liked but we were swimming a lot and I didn't want to ruin my camera so I left it in the room. Here's a few of the pictures I did take.

The view




I didn't get many pictures of them together but Caleb loves his cousin Matthew. He was so excited to see him when we were driving to the resort he said, "Mommy my tummy feels funny I'm so excited!" So cute!


We had dinner at Rustler's Roost one night and it was so fun. Caleb sat at the table with all of the cousins and he loved that. In the restaurant they have a slide the kids loved going down.



Here's a few fun pictures of Jared and our boys and then me and our boys...





Grandma Gunnell passed away just over a year ago. We all went to her grave to enjoy a morning of reminiscing about Grandma and all she did for us. She is an incredible woman that is missed!


and last but not least, Grandpa Gunnell with all of his great grand kids. I think it's impossible to get a great picture of them all together but this was the best I got!


A huge Thank You goes to Grandpa Gunnell for all his hard work in making the weekend a lot of fun and a huge success. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We love you!

Kyson's letter

We just got this letter in the mail...

We are so excited for Kyson to make a wish! I was told we could expect wish granters to come to our house sometime in the next two months to help Kyson decide what his wish will be. I've talked to him a little bit about it and read him a book they sent to help him decide on a wish and he is very excited about it. He keeps asking me to read him that book again:) Some of Kyson's heart friends have been in the process of fulfilling wishes and they are doing things like Disneyland, Disneyworld, and a Disney Cruise. I'm not sure what Kyson will choose but I am sure no matter what it will be an amazing experience for him and all of us. Yay for Kyson!!!
