We Are Fam-I-Ly

Well, we survived another one! Thirty plus Beagley's together for 3 days and no bloodshed... other than that may have been hidden under Caiden's plethura of bandaids!

Some of the highlights:

*Trick Or Treating in downtown Port Townsend

*Henry's Bowing at the end of each "performance".
He must have some stage mother, huh?
*Caiden's Star Wars Move (what WAS that?!?!?)
*Family Olympics
(who was that being that took over Gail's body and what did she do with my sister?)
*Ping Pong.

Nathan, remember when Aunt Lynn beat you??? I just wanted to be sure you remembered....
*Watching the Great Nieces and Nephews color and eat color crayons (sorry Grandpa)
*The candy fest on Saturday night. Watching Gibson two fisting lolly pops was truly impressive.

Along with these, it was great to just visit at meal times with nieces and nephews. I am so blessed by the fun, wise and good family members who surround me. One personal note: Spending time with Mike McLaughlin was such a blessing. His words of comfort and wisdom meant the world to me. I was struck at how none of go through challenges without reason. Because of his faith during trying times, it bolstered mine.

The Reunion Committee did an outstanding job! Generation 3 of the Beagley Clan could truly run the world. Thank you guys so much. I love you all (and that is AFTER the reunion. Impressive, huh?)

Dad Beagley and his four kids. He must be so...... proud?


Bethany and Megan


Darling, Beautiful Maddie


Emily and Baby Ethan -He and Beck had quite the Cheek Contest. Winner still TBD.


I'm not sure what this is, but Gail just cracked me up and had to share.

We'll never outgrow Halloween Candy!


Steve must have been jacked-up on sugar as well.


Caiden at the drums. He's already learned that chicks dig Rockers.

It was so fun to see and visit with Kristin - I love this girl.

Family Olympics Survivors - Go Team 1!!!!!


Do you think that Uncle Derek may have thrown Henry just a bit TOO high?

Nathan and the Boys (he's carrying Ethan)
Caiden running to Daddy


Gibson and Grandpa! Hip Hip Hurray!

Preparing for Trick Or Treat. Believe it or not, this was the best group Shot. Herding Cats would be easier!

Beckett: Rooster. Gibson: Giraffe. Caiden: Dragonfly... w/ gun? Madison: Lady Bug. Henry and Ethan: Butch and Sundance.


A World Where Two Giraffes Colide!

Gibson spotted this little girl trick or treating in his same costume. It was hysterical! They had a stare-down that lasted a full minute, then Gibson went in for a hug and the little girl burst into tears! Best Halloween moment ever!




Aunt Bethany aka Annie Oakley



The Rockers at Work.... Steve will be cool forever in his nephews eyes. Any "grown up" (and I use that term loosely) who can score 94% on Rock Band must be respected.

Manda and Mark checking out the Jolene Memory Book. Thanks to both of you for all your work and the fun you added! Amanda is directly responsible for the two-15 minute time periods when the great grand babies were calm and quiet. You two are the best!
