We had our first Dietz Reunion this last August up at Lake Chelan. I had never been there before and it was just beautiful. We enjoyed most just being together as a family, playing together, eating together and talking. Our family is growing and we love it. We have wonderful children and children-in-laws and two beautiful grandbabies with one on the way. It is also a special treat to have Grandma and Grandpa Lee live with us. They enjoyed the trip as well. Although Mom thought when we had stopped for gas in Cle Elum on our way back that we were actually on our way to Lake Chelan and Dad tried to open the car all the way home because he thought I had taken a wrond turn. Thank goodness for childlocks!
One of the things we did at Lake Chelan was rent some jetskiis and it was a blast. That is until I let Anne Marie talk me into going on with her. I had never been on a jet ski before and told her to go nice and slow just the way I like it and she "reassured" me that she would. Needless to say she took me on the ride of a life time that caused me to nearly wet my pants. I did deserve it though for all the pranks I used to pull on her when she was little. (the match can burn twice trick and when she was young I went to check on her in her bedroom and she said she had to get up and look in her closet to make sure there were no monsters in there. I said ok and waited until she was done and back in bed but then whispered as I was leaving the room " Anne Marie they're not in the closet they are under your bed!) So you see what goes around comes around much to my distress!
I will try to better on my blog. Thank you everyone for posting pictures and designing my blog page. You have all done a great job!

I chuckled at the jet ski story! I have been on those a couple of times in my life -- by myself -- and I was always relieved when I was done! Sounds like a great family reunion. A couple of days ago, I asked mom how she liked Lake Chelan, she replied very cheerily, "It was nice!". Then she got quiet so I'm not so sure she remembers too much even now!
oh my goodness, my kids would never sleep again if i told them the monster was really under their bed!
but that IS hysterical!
sounds like you guys had a blast!
ummmm, yes but you did leave out a few things...making me join the church choir (TORTURE!), making me ride the dragon swing, putting me in the corner for 6 hours (might have deserved that one), making me eat lima beans and liver...ugh, the nice "warm moving" experience, and the list goes on...'nuf said! LOL!
oh my! it must have been a hoot growing up in your family! way to get her back anne marie! ;)
Its about time that you posted something mom!
That is funny! Sounds like a fantastic time with your family. Great blog! :)
To all of Rosanne's children.....I have a few stories of my own that your mom has a staring role in. She was that bossy big sister and made me mind her when she babysat. It just makes me laugh that she kept her sense of humor as a mom. Love you Roseanne!!!
You forgot the part about the jet ski accident... that was a fun part of the trip :D
