The Eppich Family Reunion

Taylor, Madalyn and Ella 9 years old. These three always enjoy getting to know each other during the summer. Can you believe how tall Ella is?

Brooklyn, Charley, and Natalie

Row, Row, Row your Boat Morgan!! 

The weather was so hot this year, mid 90s. It made getting into the water very enjoyable.

I'm pretty sure Brooklyn got her dad's hate for cold water. She got cold fast.

Morgan and Mom 

 

Hit it DAD

Brooklyn and Kynzie love playing make up together 

This year Garrett took the kids fishing a few times, they cause 4 fish, 2 were keepers. One was a big 20 inches. The kids were in fishing heaven, next year were taking dad's fishing boat.

I was so proud of the kids this year, all three learned to knee board and all tried to water ski

They were very nervous about skiing. Madie was so close, next year for sure.

Natalie 6 years old and tried, way to be brave.

Morgan 8 years old 

Who won???

With the girls learning to knee board and ski that made mom get in the water for many hours, good thing it was hot.

 

A pro, at work

No Problem, all the kids got up right away on the knee board

 The Basin City Parade will always be a great family memory for our family. Every 4th of July we go to the parade, get there about 9:15 put out our lawn chairs by the library and wait for the parade to start.

 

Cousins

 Waiting for the bags of candy to come our way.

This year was the same as most: go to the parade, BBQ at Grandma McGary's house, this year Garrett was in the middle of hay harvest. He finished just in time to take us the see the fireworks in Pasco. We had not been to see the fireworks in 4 years.

Family Party

 All the extended family came over for homemade peach and raspberry ice cream on Sunday. What a treat for Brooklyn. It was a full week of celebrating her birthday

 

 I love these pictures, it shows how happy she was that day. Pure sweetness on her face.

Twins= BFF

 The both got the same shirt for their birthdays. They loved it, I use to dress Madalyn and Morgan the same all the time. They two I have not done it as much, I really need to do it more. The loved it and I loved seeing them look the same.

They are Best friends, they get along so well. The love to discover new things together. I hope they always stay close.

Our BABY is 3

Brooklyn was very excited to have her birthday.  Starting in May after Morgan and Natalie's birthdays she would ask me almost everyday "Is it my birthday yet". (She knew her birthday was next in our family). She learned the date of her birthday about 6 months ago, she would tell everyone that her birthday was June 26. She said it in the cutest way.

This year for her big day we bought her a Dairy Queen Blizzard Cake. I felt bad not making it, but she seemed not to care. She went with me to pick it out, she designed it all by herself.

I call her my Baby princess all the time, the cake was very fitting for her. I ask her everyday "Brooklyn are you my baby princess"? She always looks at me smiles and says "YES". A few times she has said, "Mom I'm not a baby, just a princess". But I think she just agrees with me most days and says Yes.

Time has truly flown to fast, I want her to stay this age forever. She is a bundle of Joy and Light in our family. She keeps us laughing with her comments and dancing.

Brooklyn opened her gifts in the morning before dad left for work.

When we would ask her what she wanted all she would say was "Keys". This girl loves to unlock things and play with keys. Many times she has lost the lawn mower keys. She Garrett made her her own key chain and we bought her 3 different cute keys.

A new fishing pole and princess flashlight.

Her own blow up mattress and sleeping bag.

A new shirt and ball. What a great birthday!!! We love you Brooklyn----Love Mom
