Family Reunion 2012

This was the 30th Family Reunion for the Holley/Baker/August clan. We traveled again to Coram Ranch just below the Shasta Dam for Memorial Day weekend. This is just a perfect place to have family gather to enjoy eachother and the outdoors. The boys got to ride horses, play with their cousins, each lots of yummy food, and sing in the talent show. We did the "Slippery Fish" song with the boys and afterward Rhonen & Jackson decided to take over the microphone! We might have a couple of preformers on our hands :) It was a wonderful weekend!

Rhonen & Serene

Just before Rhonen turned 3, we went to a birthday party for another little girl named Johanna. Johanna was also turning 3 and her parents rented a huge bounce house for the party. It was a beautiful spring night and the kids were having a blast! Now Johanna has an older sister named Serene who is 4 1/2. Serene and Rhonen have always played well with each other whenever they are together.

About half way into the party, Serene's mother Sarah was looking for her eldest daughter all through the party. She finally went into the house and found her bedroom door to be shut. So she opened it only to find Rhonen & Serene, together....hugging :)

Rhonen turns 3!

It's hard to believe, but our baby Rho is now a big boy 3 years old! On his birthday we surprised him with a state of the art kitchen. He loves to help us in the kitchen and really enjoys cooking with Dustin. So we splurged on his gift, and wow! it was worth every penny. He was thrilled to uncover his gift.

 After lunch with Dustin and Jackson, I took the boys to our favorite park! We played for a while and enjoyed the beautiful day.

Rhonen is blossoming before us into a little boy. I can say that he is no longer a baby and is leaving toddler hood quickly behind him. He will  be starting preschool for a summer session in June and then back in August for the regular school year. We couldn't be more proud of our son! He is a sweet child, a loving brother, and an insightful, adventurous boy! Happy Birthday Rhonen.

Lunch Time
