Murphy Family Reunion

This weekend we headed out to the Wyoming/Idaho border to be together with the family for the Murphy family reunion. We are related through my Great-Grandma who was a Murphy and married Lewis "Luke" Alley who I'm named after... If I remember right.

It was great because Aunt Lynette, Jami and fam, and Kariessa came out and we don't get to see them all together very often. Grandma and Mom, Dad and Anna made it to. So I took a lot of pictures and made sure they were "good ones" and deleted the "bad ones" so everyone would approve this time! Especially you Grandma. :)
Monday morning we first headed to the Cokeville graveyard and put flowers on Grandpas and others graves. After we headed over to Montpellier for the reunion.
Jami, Jean-Paul, Shelby, Karlee, Aunt Lynette, and Grandma in front of Grandpas gravestone.
This was take #5 because Shelby did not want to smile! Grandma finally got a little one out of her.
Addee enjoying her time after the long drive down and before the long drive back up! We were glad to see them.
Aunt Lynette lookin great. We were looking at Great Aunt Arlene talking about... something. Who knew she was so interesting?!Cousins! The Alley family reunion within the Murphy family reunion! Basically all the people we knew. :)
It was great to see everyone. There were talks of an Alley/Jensen reunion... Be ready!

Thanks so much for the pictures and more info. We heard about it from Lynette, but I just love photos!

So where are you guys this summer? Still in Idaho or in Utah? What are your plans?

Wonderful job of sharing pictures of a great time together, our own family reunion within the big Murphy Family one. One little correction the Lewis M. you were named after is Lewis M. Dayton, my Daddy.

You all can't even imagine my thrill of having so many of my family there after just expecting your Mother and Dad and possibly Anna. Your presence certainly added to my pleasure of seeing cousins by the dozens I hadn't seen in many years.

Lots of Love, Grandma Alley
