Dahl's: Let's Stick Together (Tucker Family Reunion Part 1)

Monday, July 5, 2010

Nathan had major grass burn after several trips down the slip-and-slide.

Kinsley gave everyone a run for there money.

Tanii would not be outdone by the big kids.

Nice moves Marcus!

Everyone (big kids, little kids, and mostly the adults) had a great time on the slip-and-slides.

Keep you eye on the ball Trey.

After everyone did some slipping and sliding a serious game of slip-n-slide baseball got underway.

Thank you Uncle Tye.

All the little girls had fun playing in 1st Base.

We sure are lucky to have such a great family.

After some fun in the sun we headed to Shelley and Dave's for our

Lets Stick Together Dinner

The food was delicious and everything was served on a stick.

It was super cute.

Shelley got to live her dream of being a bartender.

She created some delicious mixed drinks (slushies to be more specific)

Dave has done work on their backyard.

It is really beautiful!!!

We all had a great time kicking back and visiting.

To top of our great reunion kick off party

SPARKLERS!

When you honor the birth family, you honor the child.
By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being.
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child.
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson, any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child.
If a child is born and raised in family that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can't give a child any greater place from which to fly.
