This was the beginning of our 2009 Family Reunion when Evan and Driel's family arrived in Hillsboro from Utah. Gram (Grammy) with Moriah and Mylee reading a favorite book, "That Olive!"
FYI: As you can tell from my blogging that I am still a novice. There were a number of pictures that didn't get uploaded for whatever reason (maybe I forgot to push the "Done" button). So here they are even though they are not in the correct chronological order that they took place.
Auntie Aubrey with her sweet nieces Moriah and Mylee.
We had to run down to the beach to enjoy the great weather after GG, Melinda, and Aubrey arrived.
Dave with his mom.
Fiona and Moriah in their matching sleepers enjoying a book with GG.
Blaine and Marissa with Mylee Moo (22 months old). They are expecting their second child, a boy, in March.
Evan and Driel with Moriah (2 1/2 yrs. old) and Fiona (8 1/2 months old).
Beautiful Driel with cute Fiona on the beach enjoying the lovely sunset.
Here we are all together, including GG (Gram), for our 2nd annual D&M Andersen Family Beach Reunion. What a great family!
This beach house had plenty of room for all of us and room for our ever expanding family next year. It must be the tallest beach house in town.
When enjoying the beach house, we had music to dance to and games to play. Moriah and Mylee liked to shoot cards out of the Uno Attack blaster.
Melinda and Aubrey modeling their latest in high fashion beach attire.
Shadows of Mom, Melinda, and Aubrey enjoy visiting on the beach.

We all enjoyed our hot dog dinner with all the trimmings and s'mores for dessert.
Taking a walk through Seaside on a lovely morning.
Seaside has a number of places you can swing on the beach. Our granddaughters love to swing!
Aubrey and Melinda are never too old to enjoy a ride on the carousel.
Moriah and her Dad stepping on the gas in their bumper car.
An Andersen free-for-all at the bumper cars where it is every man and woman for themselves.

Marissa, Melinda, and Aubrey getting spun around on the Tilt-a-Whirl.
Stopping for lunch and some more swing time at a local park before heading back to Hillsboro. Melinda getting pushed around a little from 2 1/2 year old Moriah.
When we got home, Mylee and Moriah had a fun time checking out Mylee's new backyard toy. Blaine got this amazing used play structure for free from some people in town. He had to take it apart enough to get it on a flatbed trailer to bring it home. Blaine and Dave worked together getting it off the trailer (they sure are strong) and into the backyard where Blaine had prepared a place for it.
Cousins having fun doing "Super Girl" on the swings.
