It all began 6 years ago...
We were living in Twin Falls at the time. Jeff (Jason's brother) was dwelling in our basement. Jeff's girls were coming to visit him for Father's Day. (They live with their mom and we don't get to see them very often.) Jeff was worried that his family in Utah, wouldn't come visit, while his girls were there. I said, "Hey, if we have a party they'll come!" We DID have a party and they DID come! Little did I know at the time, that I had created an annual tradition..."The Cousin Party".
We play games, make crafts, sleep in tents, eat lots of food, take lots of pictures and have lots of fun.
This year, Cathy (Jason's sister) is in charge of the cousin party. The theme is "Smullin Grand Prix 2009". We've each chosen a team color and name. We've been asked to design and create a team flag with our color and name. We are the, "Orange Crush"!
Here's the creation process of our team flag:
We had a little family meeting and talked about what we wanted on the flag. Jason started sketching.
Jason came up with a design concept.
Then sketched our logo.
He then enlarged the design on a copy machine and pieced it together.
Then he traced the design onto the flag material.
Then it was my turn. I painted the design and had the kids hand print the corners of the flag. Jason then outlined the design and wrote the kid's names and race numbers on the flag.
What do you think?

Cool idea! Great artwork.
Jason still amazes me. Remember what he did for the Primary talent show? I also remember when you told me the story about how the cousin party started. Such a great idea!
