The Chamberlains: August 2012

Baby Beckam

On June 28th 2012 we welcomed Beckam Jay-Clinton Judd into the world!! We are SO thrilled to have another nephew to play with!! Hunter and I both stayed in the room for the whole birth and it was an amazing experience! I can't wait till we can add a little one to the family :) Here are just a few pictures of cute little Beckam!

Waiting......

Jezelle was in the room the whole time too and got scared for a minute.

We can't believe he has blond hair!!

Here are a few of their family pictures they took a week or two ago.

The Past three years I always had to work on the Fourth of July since I worked at KFC and it was the busiest day of the year. So this year I really appreciated being with family and enjoying the BBQ's Swimming and relaxing!! We spent all day with Hunter's family swimming at his sister Hailey's pool and eating treats and chips and dips and then we just hung out at his parents house and everyone came over and had a big BBQ that was SO good. I contributed by making a delicious pasta salad. It made way to much so we had it for left overs every single day for a week... so I don't think I will be making it again anytime soon ;)

We love our new nephew Beckam!!

Once it got later we went outside and just relaxed and talked and played with the girls and then started fireworks. This year with the fire in AF Canyon we could see the fire burning the canyon and fire works in the background, it was pretty cool :)

As we were driving home we spend about 15 minutes on the phone with a 911 dispatcher. Let's just say it was an interesting night with a person in a car and one on a motorcycle.. both drunk swerving in and out of lanes giving each other high 5's through the window and blocking everyone so they couldn't switch lanes. Luckily all the cops were out and so they followed them and we still will never know what happened to them :)

Memorial Day

This year was the annual Anhder Family Reunion (well... every other memorial day). I always look forward to memorial day to spend time remembering those who have passed and made an impression on the lives of those around them. We always go and see my nephew Jacob's grave and leave flowers and then My grand parents Grave and my dad's sister Karren's grave.

And these are pictures of the graves from 2 years ago... this year they had about five times the flowers on all the graves :)

We drove up to Logan the day before Memorial day and checked into the hotel and My Aunt Julie and Uncle Jerry and most of my cousins from Colorado came for the reunion. We were all SO excited that they came. We played games, went swimming and just hung around the hotel most of the day.

On Memorial Day we woke up early for breakfast then drove to Willow Park and walked around and fed the fish and ducks and watched the monkeys. Then we went up to my Aunt Lisa and Uncle Kurt's house and helped them set up for the reunion. I sat and looked through a book my Aunt Margo had made that had pictures and papers from previous reunions and a lot of stories that my Grandma wrote about herself. It was so fun talking with my Aunt Margo and learning about my grandma and how I'm a lot like her :)

Then the reunion started and all the boys were trying to beat my dad's score in the bean bag toss, talking with family, eating LOTS of GREAT food, and of course Anhder bingo!

My Aunt Margo painted this. She is amazing!!

Aunt Julie thought it would be fun to put her head through and let Margo try and make it through the hole.. or hit her face :) And no worries she never got hit.. but did come real close :)

Once a lot of people started leaving we just stayed and visited because My brother Brad was coming up from Logan and my sister Emily was down from Idaho as well!! It was the first time in a few years that the whole family was all together!
