5K- Walk, Run, or Crawl

I know a lot of people that have goals to do a 5K or 10K, but never want to actually enter into a race... well, we have a solution for you! We thought it'd be fun to have a family 5K at the reunion! This way there is no pressure to win, we are all there just to have fun and say that we did it! Since the reunion is only a couple weeks away, we figured we should send out an email so everybody knows about it so that if you want to run it you have a bit of time to prepare for it. Eli is in charge of it (Thanks Eli!) and from what he was saying last night, we are thinking it will be pretty much down hill (YAY!) so that everybody can participate! Hopefully we'll be able to get it mapped out and send a copy to all of you here pretty quick so you can see exactly what the run is like, but it should be fun!

Once again, we want everybody to participate... hence the title of the email: Run, Walk, or Crawl. Some people in our family are in ridiculously fabulous shape... then there are others like me, who will be walking or crawling the 5K with the little kids! We just thought this would be such a fun way for EVERYBODY to say they've done a 5K, and that they had a blast doing it! So everybody make sure to pack a good pair of walking/running shoes!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Eli or myself!!

Aggravation Boards Pt 2

Hello AGAIN!!!!

So Cindy just called me and asked me to send out an email to all of you to let you know the approximate price of the Aggravation Boards... We are hoping they will be around $15.00! She is getting them cut tomorrow evening, so we need to know TOMORROW BY NOON (Utah time) if you want one! Also, Geraldine found a place to buy marbles online for cheap, so if you want marbles with your board, let us know! For those of you who have already emailed to say you want one, I will go ahead and assume you want marbles to go with it unless I hear differently from you!

So far we have heard from:

Lynn and Cindy
Becca
Jason and Stacy
Michael and Chelsy
Jen and Aaron
Josh and Tara
Theresa and Calvin
Kristen and Mark
Debbie and Ammon
(and I am assuming Geri and Raun since Geri found all the marbles)

If any of your siblings or parents aren't on this list, will you let me know so that we can get a hold of them so we make sure nobody feels left out over not having one?

Thanks again!
(cross your fingers that I don't bug all of you again in the next day or two)

Aggravation Boards

Hey family!

So since all of us grew up playing Aggravation with Grandma, Lynn and Cindy thought it would be a fun idea to make an old-school Aggravation board (the blue wood one) like her's for all of us. And when I say like Grandma's, they are doing everything possible to make it JUST like Grandma's. They are just needing to know how many to make so they can go buy everything and get them going in the next couple of days.

So here's the deal- we aren't sure on prices yet but we will let you know as soon as we are. Also, since Lynn is going to be doing this in his spare time (which is virtually non-existent coming from his daughter/employee) they are asking that you only get one board per family. So for example, all of my siblings will want one, so they will make one for Jen's family, one for Michael's family, and one for me. They just don't want to be making one for each great-grandchild of Grandma Roach due to time constraints.

So just let myself or Cindy know if you want one so that we can get them made!

Thanks!!

Arrival/Departure

So as we all know, the Bingham Family Reunion is coming up! YAY!!! Uncle Dale has asked me to send out an email to everybody so that they can start planning what activities we are going to do each day. So first of all, the reunion is from Aug 6th-8th in North Powder. We need to get some basic arrival/departure info for EVERYBODY!

Uncle Dale and Uncle Allen are hoping we can get an arrival/departure date and time from everybody, as well as a list of who in your family will be coming that day and ages (don't worry adults, no need to really put your age) . For example: Cindy's family will be Cindy, Lynn, Jennifer, Erika (4), Landon (18 months), and Becca. We will be arriving at 5 a.m. on the 6th ready to go!!! :)

If you don't know for sure on a few members of your family, let us know all that you do know, as well as an estimated date of when you will know anything else for sure, i.e. : We don't know if Michael and Chelsy will be there, but we will know by July 1st.

If you could get this info for me a.s.a.p. that would be fabulous! If you have any questions, email me @ rebeccajoygilbert@gmail.com or give me a call (801) 709-8145!

Bingham Family Blog

Hey everybody! So we have decided a quick, easy way to keep everybody updated on info on the family is through a blog! Since the Bingham Family Reunion is coming up, we figured now is the perfect time to start the blog!

We will put links on the side to everybody's personal blogs... but since I only have a few cousin's blog addresses, if you have a blog send me the URL link and we'll get it put up. Also, if you want to be able to write your own posts on this blog (so updates of your family if you don't have you own blog, or to tell people to check out your own blog for updates) you can either comment here or email me with your email address: rebeccajoygilbert@gmail.com

I sincerely hope that this will become yet another tool to help us stay close as a family! I am grateful every day for how awesome of aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins we have in the Bingham Family! Let's be honest.... we really are a pretty cool family!
