A couple of weeks ago Darrin, Taytum and I spent the week in Vail with my family for a family reunion. We had a blast! My family doesn't get all together very often because we live in five different states and all have very busy schedules, so it was so nice to see everyone. Each sibling planned an activity for one day of the week, so everyday was something different and fun. The reunion also gave us girls a chance to throw a baby showers for my two sisters that are pregnant. It was fun to have one afternoon to just hangout as girls. My parents were in charge of the first day and my Dad's activity was a huge surprise. He had been at a party earlier in the summer where they sang karaoke, so he decided to buy a karaoke machine and have everyone sing. 
I have never seen my Dad like that before. But it was really fun and something I will never forget. I could tell how much fun it was for my parents to have all of their kids and grandkids in the same room. And how proud my parents are of each one of us.
The next day my brother and his wife planned the Cochran family Olympics. We had a relay race where we had to balance a ball (which ended up being kind of flat) on a toilet plunger, a potato sack race, we made marshmallow guns, played kick ball (where the bases were kiddy pools), and finished the day up with a tug-a-war. We really had a great time just cutting back and having fun. Thanks, Brad and Kev!

Here's Darrin running against me.

All the kids with their marshmallow guns. The kids lined up and got to shoot at Grandpa and Grandma. They had so much fun. We even had to buy more marshmallows when we got home so Taytum could play with her marshmallow gun again.The next few days we went rafting down the Colorado River, we spent lots of time at the park playgrounds, in the Colorado ski museum, and geo cashing. Darrin, Taytum, and I really had a ton of fun with my family and can't wait for reunion 2010.
Love ya guys!
