LastToBluhm: a Blog for my "ROGERS" FAMILY:)

It's that time of the year again and we've been doing this for as long as I can remember and it never gets old. But, I think this year it may be a little bit different because not as many people are coming and my heart is breaking! && I'm missing everyone that couldn't come.

I pray this NEVER happens again because this SERIOUSLY is the BEST time of the year.

YES! It beats Christmas and 4th of July! and that's saying a lot because those are my TWO FAVORITE HOLIDAYS! But there is nothing like this... and that is:

The ROGERS FAMILY REUNION

FACTS:

This is my mom's side of the family.
She has a BIG family.
12 siblings.
13 kids including her.
My grandma was pregnant 9.75 years of her life.
I have A LOT of cousins.
I stop counting after 40.
Our family is still growing.

---------------------------------------------

I'm blessed to know my family. To know my cousins and to have that many cousins.

I admire my aunts&uncles&cousins for always making an effort to bring their family to the reunions. (this year some of you are going be in trouble for not coming...but we will talk later) :)

Things I love.

The Humid/Hot weather everyone puts up with when coming to Iowa.
The green grass that my cousins from the "dry states" can admire.
The bonfires.
The sound of my aunt's singing.
The SAME memories we reminisce about every year.
The NEW memories we make every year.
The talent shows we have.
The canoe trips down the river.
The late night talks.
Our night games ----> CAPTURE the FLAG!
The fact that we are in our 20's & 30's and still play night games.
The bond between us. How you can go months without talking..& then pick up where you left off.

*I APOLOGIZE for the photo's below. Some are really blurry. But its mainly just to give you an IDEA of what some things are like:) && to my family that read this- I'm sorry if you are not in any of the pictures. I only could find a couple that would work! But know that I love you SO MUCH!
