Fielding Family Reunion

Over the 4th of July my mom's side of the family got together to have loads of fun down in Logan, UT! We had the Fielding Family Reunion! What a blast! It was Nic and I's first time as a married couple, so it was fun to have Nic there with me and for me to get to watch him play with my cousins and enjoy the families reunion traditions.
My Uncle Jason and Aunt Janell did such a FABULOUS job on this years reunion!! J&J decorated with 4th of July stuff all over the cabins and did such a wonderful job!

Here is Grandma with almost all of the grandkids...and great grand kids! We're missing some and I hope and wish we can all make it next year!

Here is one of the traditions we do every year...WATER GAMES! They're fun, Nic and I were taking a nap at this time. We were both so so so tired!

Here is another tradition, the egg toss. (there is my hubby first one on the right! :D) My Uncle Eric and Aunt Shannon usually win this....but not this year!

Great catch honey and smile! :D Love him!

My brother Tom and Uncle Ken are the ones who won the egg toss this year! Congrats! Everyone was so shocked when Eric and Shannon's egg broke on them!

Here is Nic with our new adorable cousin Sloane...is that how you spell it? oh dear. Well, she is so stink'n cute and such a good baby! Nic and I love her a lot, can't you tell by his face?

Here we are...another tradition. (seriously not everything we do is tradition....but there is an afternoon where we spent it doing most of all the tradition stuff) This one is the dummy doll. Don't know why they have the dummy part exactly. Anyways, there is this soft, clothe doll that you can answer yes and no questions too and it nodds it's head. It's never been a favorite because the questions are always "does david have a girlfriend" or "are nic and megan going to have a baby soon." Stuff like that, every year. haha. So anyways...Nic and I went and enjoyed it. It was his first time so we had too!

Oh and here is Nic getting his finger bit by the dummy doll. Kids enjoy this a lot. I can't even recall getting my finger bit. All the young cousins that it was hilarious that Nic was getting his finger bit. He's cool. I know.

Here is Maurinda doing face painting. I was also assigned....but I only did a few. My dragons are horrible by the way. They looks like lizards. Anyways, we always have crafts to do and they are fun fun fun!

This is such a wonderful photo to look at for me. My grandpa passed away a little over a year ago and this is the second reunion that he hasn't been here for. We all got our own balloon, we got to put our favorite memory or message to him and we all got to send them up. It was a wonderful and emotional time. We love him so very much and I cannot wait for the day when I get to see him again. I'm so grateful for the gospel and the fact that I know I will see him again someday!

After the dinner and some other festivities we had a skit/learn something night. We enjoyed the program of "Get a Clue!" Each one of the original 10 kids from my mom's family and my grandma had to dress up. (yes we had to get creative and add or change names considering we had more and to go with the program) My mom was Mrs. White and our weapon was the rope. Mom had to dress up and we had to make up a skit that had to do with organization and time management. We had to have a rope in it and we had to have the frase "get a clue" somewhere in it. All the skits turned out sooooo good! So were funny. Some were spiritual. So were just plain awesome! Here are some pics....and don't forget Detective Gray. haha.

Here is my grandma. She is so hilarious. She was the one who gave out the rewards at the end. She did such a great job. And for her outfit she cut this garbage bag to make a cape and since she is "detective gray" and since the bag is black she put a sign on the front of the cape that said "this is a gray cape" oh man. it was so hilarious. she just says the funniest things. Nic and I love her so much.

Here is Jason and Janell. Oh man. Their skit was on jobs and having a good interview and anything else that goes with that. They did such a good job....they had Jason dress up as different people coming in for different interviews and this one is of him being Micheal Jackson. SO HILARIOUS. They both did such fabulous jobs!

Here's Brenda and Lorin. Their skit was on the 5 love languages. They did such a wonderful job. Sweet, hilarious, entertaining all in one! Good job guys!

Here she is, Mrs. White! haha. My mom came up with such a fabulous skit for us! I thought it was great, even though I'm not a good jump roper. She was able to tie everything in sooo well! Good Job mom!

Then here I am jump'n away! Tom, David, Moe, Nic, Mom and I all had to jump. Richard and dad were the ones turning the rope. It was loads of fun.

And here is one, or probably, my most favorite parts of the whole reunion. The very last night we have a fire and have testimony meeting. It is so nice hearing so many testimonies and feeling the spirit so strong. I am so grateful for the family that the Lord blessed me in! I can't wait till next year!

Enjoying Utah with Trevor and Sharon!

Just so you are aware...this is picture filled. We had so much fun which mean lots of moments you need to see....

Nic and I left Friday evening when he got off work. First of all, we decided that we love driving to Utah from Poci because it is so much more beautiful. It's green. Not nasty brown, tan, deadness...but green. Here is my first photo:LOVE IT!
We arrived safely that night, so happy to see Trevor and Sharon, talked, watched a movie and then crashed. Saturday morning Nic and I got up and went to the Mt. Timpanogus Temple. Its a very beautiful temple. Also very VERY busy. The Provo and South Jordan (is that was it is?) Temples were both closed so everyone decided they were going to come and hang out at the same one we did....
We then headed back to Trevrons (that's the name I just made up for them). We 4 then decided to head over to Hogle Zoo for a fun day. Side Note: I have never been there before so I thank Sharon for going because she had already been twice (I think) this summer! The Hogle Zoo is so big compared to Boise's zoo so i enjoyed it a lot. Some of my favorites were the Rhinos, Giraffes, Elephants and the Bird show we saw. Nic and I never realized how well birds can be trained!


Here we are at the bird show! It was so amazing! They had many different types of birds, which was cool to see. They would have the birds fly out of cages that were hidden in different areas around where we were sitting and the birds would come out and fly about 5 inches from your head SO CRAZY! I seriously thought we were going to get pelted in the head by one of the birds!
Bald Eagle! So beautiful! This one is a male....the guys said that females are even bigger. Crazy.
After the zoo we went to a rodeo! It was such a blast! This was my very first and I enjoyed it so much. These cowboys are very brave....I would NEVER ride a bull or bronco. Yikes!

We LOVE Trevron!

These four little girls had a dance off....it was so cute and hilarious! All four girls did such a great job...and we loved how they were all dressed up as little cowgirls! The youngest one was 4, she is the one in the little pink skirt.









I did not know I horse could bend like this....but then again, if I had something rid'n up my rear end I would also be jump'n like crazy!


One of Nic's sunglasses shades fell out during the rodeo and fell beneath the bleachers....so he popped the other one out and told me to take a picture! haha. So hilarious.

Sunday was a fun day spent with Trevron. Lots of talk'n, amazing food, Nic and Trev played soccer and then had a juggl'n competition. In the beginning neither of them were very good...but near the end did better! I think the total between them was 20...so hilarious to watch. I caught Nic laughing in this picture, he isn't screaming. haha.



After play'n soccer we did get in the hot tub....I do have a picture but it's not a good one...and you can only see part of Nic's swim shorts....so he looks naked.

And this is us on Monday before we got to Lagoon....it was a fun packed day! We saw some of my family that was up there for the day, so that was fun. We really enjoyed our weekend together considering we don't always have much time with one another. Interesting that when you get married you see each other less.....it must be a blessing in disguise! haha!

Our hair cuts...

Nic and I both needed hair cuts. I needed one because I have never seen so many split ends in my life....Nic needed one cause it was way way way to long. So I went to Great Clips. I WAS TERRIFIED. I hate going to get my haircut by a random person. They never do a good job and A. it either gets completely ruined or B. something odd happens to my hair and I'm just left confused on how she did that....


Well this time around it was B. I have a short layer in the back. WAY RANDOM. So confused why it is so much shorter than the others....but oh well. Hair grows and I look pretty good. Here's my new style..




As for Nic's hair...it was way long. The hair by his ears were starting to curl. So...we both agreed that it was time to cut it. But sadly enough his whole hair kit thingy is breaking. So....since he didn't have any of this usual heads to use to cut it....this is what we did.....


Before:






During:

I told Nic if this is how he looks when he gets old....he has to be bald. haha. Serious.

After:

So during this there were a lot of laughs...and afterwards a lot a silence. I wasn't sure about it. We picture texted his family and his mom texted back "Oh WHY" and if you knew her voice well enough you would laugh hysterically because she is hilarious. Anyways. I told him it's not that i don't like it....but I don't hate it. I told him to give me a couple days. haha. I like it now...it's grown on me and grown some so it's all good. I love my honey!
