The Love Shack

Cousins!! And one Aunt. :)

My Aunt Rebecca invited us over to her house for a cousin get together. We all used to run around together when we were kids and it has been a LONG time!

Dinner was lovely. Thanks to Rebecca and Season. I brought dessert of course and got a bit of rousing about that. I have always been a fan of baking AND eating dessert. :)

We had a WONDERFUL time!

Rebecca likes to take pictures. So here are some for your enjoyment.

Kristie, Jennifer, and Heather.
This was a retake of a photo that was taken 30ish years ago.

Sisters

Some one says Charlies Angels and I do a thumbs up. LOL

Season & Rebecca

A fine group of Fabulous Women!

Bread Bowl Soup Bar at the Hollander's

This is about a month late, but whatever. :)

My dear sister Melanie planned dinner for us at her house last month. We had a delicious soup bar.

Heather brought the bread bowls... Mmmm... Bread...

Melanie made beef stew & Josh's Mom's Caesar Salad... Delicious!

I made White Lightening Chicken Chili. Mmmm...

Justin & Deanne brought Salad.

And... Mom brought Brownie Sundaes for dessert. Deeelicious!

The kids played & played until we gathered in the living room to play a game that proves just how competitive my kids can get. LOL

Melanie explains the rules. I don't remember the name.

There is one die in the bowl that will be constantly passed around. Each person rolling it. If they roll a six they have to get in the middle of the floor, put on a hat & gloves, and try to open the prize that is wrapped up tight in paper.

Here Melanie demonstrates what to do when you get a six.

Everybody in the room rolled a six at least once. LOL

Played with the camera a bit and figured out how to capture Tia's spinning glow sticks in action.

Sydney found a tv to watch some cartoons for a bit.

And, finally time for those delicious brownie sundaes.

What a fun night! Thanks for having us over Josh & Melanie!

Bouncin' Off The Walls

We went to the Maxfield Family party at Bouncin' Off The Walls.

What a fun time!

Sydney was a little scared at first. She gets a bit nervous in new places and if there are strange noises. Since all of the fun things run on air, there was definitely a hummmmm that she didn't like.

But, I talked her into going in the jump house first and she decided that this could be fun.

Me with Sydney in the bounce house.

Next the obstacle course, and eventually we talked her onto the big slide. Of course that turned out to be the favorite. Even Mark took a turn down the slide.
