Lakes, Buffalos, Sumo Suits and More.

Last month we had our Benincosa family reunion.  Unfortunately, due to miscommunication, my immediate family (sans VJ and his family) ended up making it a week later than the rest of the families. We tried to abide by what was originally planned and even got to meet up with a lot of family!  It was so great visiting Utah and seeing everyone!

The visiting quarters on Hill Air Force Base.

Pop and I went for a quick Safeway run for salads for the potluck we enjoyed with Seanie's family.


Nixie meets Great Gramma Bruderer's puppy.

Tiffer suited up and got ready to Sumo fight!  Nixie and Kate did NOT like the fighting and cried every time it started.


Nixie keeping cool with some ice.

Utah really is a beautiful place.

We found out about the new addition coming to Ash and Adam's family March 2013!


Jady put a lot of thought into what her next drawing would be as the rest of us took a family quiz at Gramma's about the Aunties and Uncles.

Devon and Adam bonded via facial hair.

Ash and I sandwiching that sweet, sweet gramma of ours.

I'm tempted to chop my hair off like Bobbi's!  It is so cute!

We discovered a rad water park on base that was perfect for our hot days!  Jady is professional model here, haha!

Poor white girl trying to get some color at the water park.

The two 1 year olds, Nixie and Kate, battled it out for their favorite auntie's attention!

Jady and I enjoying the sun at the water park whilst modeling.

Antelope Island.  My dad grew up and lived here for years and years and never got to visit.  We made it mandatory and it was gorgeous!  It reminded me of New Zealand, actually!

At the ranch on Antelope Island where cousins Zane and Jady became instant besties.

Bestie cousins Phaidra and Traci (and brand new baby Millie).

Buffalo!  Ok, actually it's a Bison unless you want to be super technical, it's an American Buffalo.

Pine Valley Lake.  The perfect day for a "beach" day!  Mom, Pop and Kate with protective shading.

My view of the lake.

I love reuniting with my stylist because I can get my hair cut!

Reunion with Bobbi and Brandon (from Hawaii) and their kids.

Ash met a new friend in Park City!  Not sure what this intense conversation was about.

We saw a baby moose!  This was my first ever live moose siting!  

Kate loves doing "camera face".
