Lee Family Reunion- Camp Zarahemla

We were so lucky to have a family reunion at Camp Zarahemla where Chuck and Carol (AKA grandpa & grandma) are serving their mission.   They absolutely love it up there.  It was fun to play together with everyone for 3 full days!!  This was the family reunion that David and I were in charge of putting together.  It is pretty easy to be the one in charge when everything you delegate out is taken care of with no complaints!  And the camp is full of things to do!

First up, Family Pictures!!  I love this family and am so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful group of people!  Our kids are pretty darn lucky to have such awesome cousins to be surrounded and influenced by.

We had morning devotionals.  Songs, flag raising and spiritual messages started off our mornings!

Marshmallow shooters were made!  This was a big hit for the the kids.  Older and younger kids loved them!  They played a game of capture the flag with them also!!IMG_4162IMG_4163IMG_4167

The water was FREEZING!!  A few braved it!  Jason jumped in and it just about put him into a paralyzed shock.  He was not expecting it to be so cold!  There were some guys going off the rope swing (David is pictured below).

During the small amount of down time the kids enjoyed the craft table.  Perfect for early mornings and in between activities where the kids could create unsupervised!

The talent show was a favorite for everyone I think!  It was so much fun!  We have a very creative and talented family!!  Melanie played a duet “Skip to My Lou”, Jason counted to 10 in Chinese, Alyssa danced and did hand stands to the song “Dynamite”, Jenna did tongue tricks by sticking her tongue to her nose and Cameron dressed up as Napolean Dynamite and did the dance on the movie.  All of the kids did a skit called “The Lee Chins” to the song “Lollipop”

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to change up, little specks to take off, small touch ups before th

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah,

TRIALS

We have been preparing for over 4 years for this trial. But nothing, no matter how much you knew it could and most likely would happen, can prepare you when your son's doctor tells you now is the time. "Your son needs open heart surgery." August 24th, 2005, Jason was born in Las Vegas, NV. He was perfect and healthy looking in every way. At his 2 week check up the doctor heard a heart murmur and recommended I take him to the cardiologist. I mentioned that I was flying out to WA in a few days and so I'd probably go when I got back, 3 weeks later. The cardiologist doctor called me the next day after visiting with the pediatrician, asking me to go in to have Jason checked out. It was late and he was willing to stay after hours for us to get there. After an ultra sound of his heart (echo) the cardiologist diagnosed Jason with a very small hole in his heart. Nothing that needed to be fixed right away, unless it started causing problems. So Jason started going every 3 month
