Well it was time for another memorable trip home this past Labor Day weekend . . . I'll try to keep it brief since I just loaded like 50 pictures on here . . . let that be your warning! what can I say, I love my family, crazy as they are. 
Tara, Andrea and Jodee . . . not sure what they're doing!
We all loaded up and went to watch Alex in the Mud Race Fun Run or whatever it's called. Lexkins (hee) is doing cross-country this year. Their season opener is this wacko race where they have to run through this huge mud pit and climb under hurdles 3 different times during the race. The first time they went through they looked pretty happy and were all excited . . . but by the 2nd and 3rd times they looked horrible! It was funny.
We were there for like 3 hours!!! And it was like 100 degrees!! My mom had told me to only bring pants because it was supposed to be cold. And that is the LAST time I will ever listen to her advice on that!! We amused ourselves by taking some pictures while we waited . . .
Alex was by no means the winner . . . (in fact, we waited so long at the finish line we wondered if he had like, dropped out or something!) but he did finish in the middle of the pack I think and he seemed to enjoy it. We all enjoyed hanging out there . . . and even more we enjoyed getting out of the sweltering heat when he was finally done!
It was fun because my cousin Alyssa just had a baby so there we went to her baby shower and also the baby blessing. (Sorry, hope you don't mind I stole the pic, Lyss!) Lyssa is my closest cousin in age and we grew up together! It is really crazy and neat to see her with a little baby that's her's! Kardynn is adorable though and it will be fun seeing her grow up. Congrats Lyss and Chris!
Hee hee . . . we threw Mom and Dad a "surprise-late-happy-anniversary" party.
It wouldn't be a complete trip home without having to sit through some sort of Family Home Evening . . . and sure enough we had it on Sunday night! the best part was the game--Musical Chairs! Who knew you could laugh so hard you cry in that stupid game? But I sure did! The picures don't show how hilarious it was but oh man it was funny. I had tears streaming down my face. 
I finally got to meet Sam's fiancee, Megan. She is a really sweet cute girl. And she doesn't seem freaked out by the family, which is always a good thing! She and Sam are getting married in December. wahoo!
Thanks for making our trip fun, Mom and Dad! We miss you guys and love you tons!

Your family is great! The mud race looks wild and fun!!
Great post sis. Glad you caught the excitment of musical chairs. It really was A LOT funnier than I thought it would be. But of course, that shouldn't be any real surprise, we ARE a pretty funny group.
I'm proud to say I was the winner of one of the rounds of musical chairs and the runner-up in the other round. Of course it would take a non-Whittier to care that much to keep track. Congrats to Sam the other winner-you got lucky. I enjoyed getting dizzy walking around one chair quickly at the end.
Love,
Collin
Your family looks and sounds like they are a hoot!!! Love the post!
CrAzY!
