Marshall Reunion

I don't know if I would call our gathering a reunion or not. When I think of a reunion I think of big planned out events, and Marshalls just don't do that.  We planned this a couple days before and just brought whatever food and activities we felt like to a pavilion at a park that we didn't even reserve. :) Typical. It was a great time though.

Girls Camp

I got to go to girls camp this year! So much fun! I was a cabin leader and it was such a great opportunity to bond with the young women from church; they are such a great group of girls.  I was also one of the photographers at camp. I didn't have my nice camera with me, so these are just iPhone pictures. These are just a couple of the hundreds of pictures I took. 

 Nate came up on bishopric night. Here they all are doing the Tooti Ta song.

Spence get together

 Nate has an uncle and a couple of cousins that live in Medford now, and his cousin from Texas was visiting, so we got together. It was so fun catching up. The kids loved their older cousins. The boys have been talking about Will and Eli since we saw them, and can't wait to see them again. They play sports for North Medford so we go and watch them sometimes. 

Dog Pile!

What teenager plays duck duck goose with their kid cousins? See how cool these guys are?

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July at Mom and Dad's house. We love that they moved out to Rogue River! We love summers out there. Floating the river. Zipping down that zip line, picking blackberries, going for walks, hanging out in their huge back yard. Lots of great memories are being made out at Grandma and Grandpa's house. 

I took our water proof camera down the river with me to get pictures. On a later occasion Nate took all 4 kids down by himself. Crazy! He had the 2 girls with him and the boys were on their own tubes. Nate flipped and the girls were dumped out. Of course they had life jackets on so they were ok, but it was quite traumatic for the kids. Tanner had nightmares after it happened. He was pretty upset. 

Family Pictures

My friend Shanna Nielsen did our family pictures this year. We did a swap. I will do hers later this year. It is nice to be able to do that. She did a beautiful job. We took them at the Deason's property out in Griffin Creek.
