More more more.

I LOVED Mom's post below! So great!

Can you believe that when I was almost due, Miriam was finding out the gender of her baby. And now that Miriam's on the brink, Katie will find out in a few weeks the gender of theirs? Each of our babies will be about 4.5 months apart. Pretty crazy?

Okay. Some changes. Rachel is not going to stop in Salt Lake at all. Don't talk to me about it, I'm really sad and wishing she was here.

Mom and company are arriving Thursday evening, hopefully in time to go to a speaking event at BYU with the girls in the fam. I will probably be down at Miriam's or thereabouts by 6pm. Hannah is probably coming down with me.

Lastly, I talked to mom today for a few minutes and seriously, SERIOUSLY we could not stop giggling. About nothing. It's safe to say we're excited.

Girls, any requests for dessert on Saturday? Do you feel like cobbler or cake? Cookies or ice cream?

(I thought that comment about the boys being shipped off to war (priesthood) was hilarious!).

Also, I have a couple of games in mind so brush up on your knowledge of the Medley fam and your spouse's past!

Reunion plans

Hello all you lovely lovely people.

Our weekend reunion is on the horizon. Everyboooooddddy readdddyyyy???

I talked to both Dad and Mom on separate occasions and of course, their stories never line up, so this is what I have put together so far for plans:

--Thursday night they arrive, they stay over night at Miriam's house. Assuming no baby has come. If Rachel has a stopover on her way to California, she will be in town this night only, but I haven't heard from her if she will stop in SL or not. She has to leave early Friday morning. Boohoo, Rache.

--Friday is an adventure day, do whatever, on whatever schedule you want. Me and the kids may or may not come down.
Friday night Mom and Dad come stay at my house. Jared and Lynn may stay over night as well. Naomi and Colin arrive Friday night sometime around 8 or 9pm.

--Saturday morning Jared and Lynn are cooking breakfast at our house. Everyone may want to get up here fairly early (9) so we can eat together. Sometime during the day (could be 11 am, could be 2pm, whatever) we are going to head up the canyon and take a little walk around Silver Lake (probably about 1/4 of a mile and pretty flat, but incredibly beautiful). This could include a picnic lunch, we'll see.

Sometime Saturday Grama Jeannie, Grampa Dee, and John's family will be driving out to meet up with us. Not sure the time yet.

Saturday evening we'll have spaghetti and garlic bread and the boys will head out for Priesthood Session (minus Sean maybe if he wants to attend with his Dad!).

AKA: SATURDAY EVENING IS GIRL'S NIGHT. That includes lots o' chocolate and tons of chatter.

--Sunday is pretty unplanned. Watch conference, that's a biggie. Everyone just come in their comfy clothes and we'll have tons of food here to eat all day. There's a park up the road, so we can always walk up there. It'll be a day where we can all just be together and enjoy the chaos. We for sure need to do some music this day!!!

Naomi and Colin leave Sunday evening. BOOO HOOOO.

--Monday is up in the air. Mom and Dad and kids may want to drive down to Utah County again to see Gideon's house or maybe do another activity or some sight seeing.

--Any or all of this might change if Miriam has that baby!

--Any input, add in the comments.

--Can't wait to see your faces and punch your shoulders.

Zeeee Rdrdrdreunion.

So. Medley Reunion is Saturday, October 2 and Sunday, October 3. Now locations are up in the air but we can figure that out later. So everyone that works Saturdays and Sundays, please request that weekend off if you can. We hope to be together as much as is possible.

These are a few things that I would like to see happen:

1. A few of us or all of us, if weather permits, can go down to temple square for a session of conference on the lawn.

2. Family photo

3. Music time. No one can miss this. This has to happen. Bring instruments, your voices, whatever, but we're jammin'.

4. Priesthood session would be great if all the guys could go together. And during that, is our girl's night! it has to happen! So be prepared! There will be chocolate!

5. A little hike that everyone can go on (Miriam, your situation will be up in the air), weather permitting.

Any other ideas?

ps, I talked to Rachel and she's not 100% but looks hopeful! She'll know soon.
