Weight Family Reunion 2012

2012 was a special year for The Weight Family Reunion. Both my grandparents were born in 1912 and would have celebrated their 100th birthday this year. It felt nice to be able to attend the family reunion with uncles, aunts and cousins. 

My grandfather spent a lot of hours working on the Weight ranch in Wanrhodes valley which his father and brothers homesteaded, hard farm work like raising sugar beets, grain crops, alfalfa, peas, etc. Taking cows to and from the farm and all related farm work gave each family member a job to do every day including cows to milk, chickens to tend, hay and grain to haul and stack, pigs to feed and much more. 

Today my uncle Doug and his family put in a lot of work at the ranch. I am grateful for the family legacy they maintain and share so generously with the rest of the family. 

Family members have also put in a lot of effort to collect memories of my grandparents and published a book of family history for the anniversary. Such a treasure! I am thrilled my three children will be able to know their roots and understand the great heritage that comes from being a part of the Esther and LaMar circle of love.
