Katlyn, and her new man.....Did you know that he doesn't know how to start a fire?....LOL
Big Tim, and little TimThis is the great meeting of the minds....

Bedtime!

Some people actually read the invite. It said that you could pull your camper up, or set up a tent. Well Sandy, Cindy, and Stephie took us up on it and put up tents...However they didn't want to rough it all that much so they brought blow up mattresses...smart thinkin' guys...


Right in the middle of dancing Harmony, and Becky thought they would take a quick little nap...LOL
Aunt Cindy thought it looked so comfortable that she thought she would join them...LOL


Lost and Found

I think these are Rosa Uphold's glasses that Becky is wearing...If you have the lense please call her she is looking for it....LOL

Memorial Ballons

This year we lit 2 memorial balloons at the family reunion. 1 was for Jay Shipley who passed since the last reunion, and the second was in remembrance for all those who have gone before. It was a nice thing. Uncle Tim didn't remember us ever doing this, but we started doing it last year. He was really looking forward to being able to see what the heck we were talking about.


I guess maybe next year Uncle Tim can try to stay awake long enough to see the ballons in the sky.....LOL

Activities for kids.....

The one thing you can really look forward to at the Uphold reunion is the great activities planned by Harmony, and Becky.....Thanks ladies....



This year was the year for Tye Dyed T-shirts.....
Disclaimer for next year...When the children's activities are set up...like dye for tye dye...unless the adult in charge of the activity is present please don't mess with the stuff....We had some people (teens) who mixed, and threw all the stuff around and wasted and ruined the dye....But please by all means have a good time, just be respectful of other people's stuff...thanks.....

This is what happens when you don't wear gloves...
Dianne Lytle went and got some ice cream, and toppings and set up for the kids to make some yummy treats...I had one and I'm not a kid....it was super good!!
Brandy is always great to lend a hand whenever it is needed... and as you can see she is really happy to help....
Noah with George's puppy...guess what the puppy's name is?.....his name is Puppy....I love that name...
Briar with Puppy....Briar is George's son...


Uncle Tim brought up the ponies...they were a very big hit....

























Last but not least...the biggest kid attraction every year is the redneck water slide...It just gets funner and funner....LOL







It's always fun and games until someone gets hurt....that's okay shake it off Rainey you are missing the funn....LOL



Everybody Dance Now!

We love the D.J.....but not as much as Aunt Cindy, and Aunt Sandy....They really danced from the moment he started until he stopped...I don't know how they did it....Sorry Bethany you were out done this year....LOL




Becky I don't believe your glass is big enough...LOL
George get down with your bad self....































Sandy, Cindy, and Becky
Dena, and Butch

Lucas, and Rosa

I do love that we have a D.J. at our reunion. It makes it so much more fun. The older ones love it, and the younger ones do too....I know there was some craziness this year about the music, but in the end it was just good clean fun!!
