I can't even begin to tell you how SPECIAL my family is to me. If there is anything I take such great pride in, it would be my family!! We are strong and we all love the Lord and grew up together in the same town, same church. When we get together we have such busy schedules and sometimes it's hard to spend quality time together. So we did just that this weekend. We went away together for a family reunion to get away together and just love on each other!! It was AMAZING(and I don't use this word often, but I really really mean it)!!! I just can't even put into words how awesome it was and we know God was smiling down on us the whole time!! Love you guys from the deepest part of my heart!!!
Here we are. It all starts with my Grandparents "The Fertigs", who have 3 daughters and their families in this picture. Debbie Keller, Becky McCord and Connie Quinn, as well as a 1st cousin Rhonda Humphress and spouses are all on the top row. Then on the bottom row you'll see their kids and kids spouses (and significant others) and grandkids. 4 Generations.

We had so much fun!! We laughed and cried and ate alot and just hung out together. We had a talent show, played cards, talked by the campfire and did a little karaoke too. The best memories that I'll cherish and look forward to many many more!!!!

Great pics Shan!! I had so much fun with all of you this weekend!!!!! I can't even tell you how much it meant to me that you all included me!! P is just the sweetest thing in the whole world and I love that you trust Mike and I enough to let us take her off and spend time with her! I hope we can all get together more often! :-)
Wow! What a great weekend you had! I'm so glad you had this opportunity and thanks for reminding us to always appreciate our own family. I can tell you're sky-high at the moment. Hang on to that joy!
I'm so jealous!!! Maybe I should just have 10 more kids so I can have a big family too!!! That looked like the most fun ever!!! Where was this? Looks like a cool place!
I hope you have a little of love left for your ND family! ha-ha! If your friends met all of your ND family they really would be jealous of you having such a great family! teehee.
Looked like a great time. I told Dave that we should do this with the Keller side next year and of course we could include you guys;)
I think we have enough campers here and tents and maybe rent a cabin to do this.Medora would be fun or the Black Hills. Always ready to go to the Black Hills!
Did Disney actually film this movie or was it pretend? Either way, looks like the stuff life is made of. And, I like life. [Ah]
