Forsyth Party in Bountiful!

We had the best time last week, not only did we enjoy a fantastic general conference, but we had a wonderful family get together afterwards.

Brent and Karen and their family came down from Canada, and Merlin, Delores & Holly came down from Spokane. Holly just barely got home from her mission, and Stephanie is headed tothe MTC!

Sooooo.... we did the only logical thing we could think of ...invite all the rest of the Forsyth's and have a party!!

I called Carolyn and she made most of the rest of the phone calls and everyone pitched in and brought food, It was great! We just had dinner and visited with everyone. I was amazed at how many kids and people we had here, and how pleasant it was. The kids all seemed to get along just wonderful! It was so sad when the time came for everyone to leave.

Here are some pics.... For ease in loading so many I didn't put them in order (they are more likely in backwards order!) and didn't name anyone. If you want any of the family ones and need them to be a better resolution for printing, let me know and I can email you the original. I think we got some great pics!!! Enjoy!!!

We couldn't believe how well it came off and we only came up with the idea and executed it in 2 days. My only regret was that I neglected to invite Sara & Jim, I'm pretty sure they are in Logan somewhere, it's kind of far, but they might have made the trip had I just remembered to ask. Sorry Sara, I was thinking of you, just a little too late!

Family Pics

Sorry I guess I lost track of what I was doing, I'm not quite finished yet with Grandpa's Birthday Bash. Here are some of the traditional family pics we seem to always take when we get together!

Grandpa and the kids

Grandkids

Diana & Ron's Family

Brent & Karen's Family

Doug & Donna's Family

Jordan & Leann. Where is Merlin & Delores??? Did we miss it??

Here's some fun ....

Grandpa sure loves kisses!!! I'm not much of a mouth kisser, but for some I make an exception. Grandpa would be one of those exceptions! We were trying to get one on camera and we kept missing the shot. So by the time we were done Grandpa was pretty giddy!!

Talent Show!

We have lots of great talent in our family, so whenever we get together, we have to have some sort of talent show!


I don't know if I remember all the details, those of you who were there, feel free to correct my mistakes.


Kionah (sorry if I'm not spelling it right) started us off with "I am a Child of God" in French.




We had some original compositions from Nathan, Tiffany and Leann!












Jon sang a couple songs.





Diana and the boys sang some songs I believe their mother either sang to them or taught them at one point anyway. Notice the boys all reading the words. There was no practise involved, and they
were all good sports! I put both these pictures in here because I loved how Diana was "performing" and the guys were her back up support!!

And Last, but certainly not least, Grandpa treated us to his rendition of The Sirey Peaks! He was a good sport as well!!




Afterwards, we all cleaned up and went back to the cabin to play games.
