This is my grandma Jean and grandpa Don Watson.
We had our 39th Watson Family Reunion this past weekend in Boise. Our theme for the reunion was "Be Strong" I can't believe how many people showed up on one day or another over the three days we were together. I think we figured up somewhere between 125-135 people in attendance. Each generation is in a different color.
Grandma and Grandpa had seven children: Linda, Kathy, Barry, David, Debra, Julie, and Nancy. Together they made up 36 grandchildren. (Kathy passed away in 2012)
Those grandchildren have made up 116 great grandchildren and counting. And one of those great grandchildren, Kaitlyn Mingo, had the first great, great grandchild, Weston, this past March.
Weston is sitting on Grandma's lap in the red.
It is incredible that we had five generations at our reunion this year. I think all together we are a family of 162 people! There were cousins that came that I haven't seen for many years. What a blessing my family is! We all get along really well--all the kids play together, the adults talk, and this year some of the men were able to give Grandpa a blessing before he went to Seattle to have surgery. I cannot express enough how much I love my family; they are everything to me.
