All the family together

We had so much fun together for Labor Day. We sure missed Bridgette, Mark, and the kids. Maybe next year. It all started on Friday night when Aunt Tosha and Uncle Cody attempted to be a good influence on the youngens of our family by teaching them the proper way to toilet paper. I am sure you read about the details on Emily's blog. They made Dad so proud! It was a late night for all! Here's the handsome Daddy that night in his security uniform.

We didn't get up and get going as early as we had wanted and by the time we got to Downata we were all starving, so we broke out lunch. Of course Rainee and Cody could not wait to get wet, so they went right in. Every body had a lot of fun on the slides. I was very impressed with the little kids. They were so brave. Kaybrielle and Mark both went on the black hole slide. Mark kept doing flips off the side of the side of the pool. Olivia was the cannon ball queen and Grandpa taught her how to swim backwards. She was doing great. Nate was like a little fish in the water. He got a little too brave at one point and tried to drown himself. Scared Emily and me half to death. Rainee, Brenner and Tresden were haveing so much fun, I hardly saw them the whole day. They had fun playing basketball and football in the water with Uncle James and Uncle Cody. After the fun we all headed home for pizza and Buddy's salad. Can you say garlic?


This wasn't everyone, but it was what we could get together.


I had to add these pictures of my cute little monkey. She loves water so this was the greatest day of her life. She played until her lips turned blue. She would get warmed up and then go for more.





Nap time. Yeah for Mom! I actually got to go on the water slide.



Sunday Mom made us a great dinner. We had smoked ham. It was delicious. Everyone went out side to play a game. I have no idea what it was called, but it looked like they were haveing fun.


Amree thought she was playing. When everyone got threw throwing there balls, they would run, so she would start running with them to get the balls. She thought she was so big. Aunt Toshie was the best, she helped her stay safe.



I love my family! Let's do it again soon.

I am so glad to see you all got together and had so much fun. I am a little envious of not being there myself, but I am more pleased then anything that you all played so hard and long as a family. I love you, Angela and appreciate all you do for your family and ours.

Sorry I didn't comment on this earlier, but I forgot your blog address. This was a really fun weekend. I had such a great time with everyone. I feel so bad for corrupting your boys. They were so much fun to be around. Everytime Cody's around, there is bound to be trouble. That's just his nature. We missed you Bridgette, and were supposed to call you when everyone was around, but sort of forgot to. It was mom's idea.
