Family Rebellion

Well last week had been a very busy week with all the rock moving and rock hauling and trench digging and water line work and vehicle repairs and then to top it off we ended up the week with a family reunion. So I will share some pictures that I took while there.

It was held at the Haven, Kansas Community building and as you can see the kids had fun playing outside on the play ground equipment and they did a little posing for the camera..and falling..

We had an auction, which we do every year and sell home made items and sundries to help offset the cost of the event.  Everyone gets involved and some (my dad in the last picture) get carried away and wears some of the product on auction.  It is a lot of fun.  I purchased an old lamp, hand made wooden truck with a jump seat, chocolates for my daughters and a couple lawn/sports chairs with cup holders...

We stopped and took time to take pictures of each family and introduce everyone as it gets harder and harder as the family grows and spreads out across this great nation.  This Is Don Huston and his family.  Don is the oldest brother of the 4 Huston boys

This is Earl Huston, 2nd oldest, and his family.  Earl won the award for having the largest number of his family showing up for the reunion.  Great turn out and a beautiful family.

This is Jerry Huston, 3rd in line and his family.  He had a very good turn out.  Lots of little ones running around from this group.

This is the Bill Huston family which happens to be the one that I belong to.   In this picture also is my 91 year old Grandmother on my mothers side.  She is not a Huston but we love having her at the reunion, specially since she lives in the same town as the reunion.   My dad is the youngest of the 4 brothers.  They have a younger sister, Mary Francis who lives in California, but she wasn't here for the reunion.

above is the Jones family from Oklahoma.  I had the four brothers pose with their cousin.  Her family is very good about attending the reunion every year and we love having them.

Had a little bit of bubble blowing after all was said and done.  trust me, there was a lot more said, than done...:)

take time

take time to smell the roses
to listen instead of speak
to hold someone's hand
to sit back and be a little meek

let others pass you as you drive
be patient in the grocery store
read your bible every morning
you'll get what you need, and more

lift others up with your talk
it's what will draw them close to you
witness by how you handle bad news
you're showing what Jesus would do

take time each day to share your faith
with even the most unlikely ear
don't try to limit what God can do
he has a way to make them hear

great responsibility we have each day
to those who cross our path
sharing the good news of Jesus
to save them from Gods wrath.
