Day 2 of Birthday Celebrations!!!

On Saturday we had a fun day of just FAMILY. My Mom rented a Bouncer, OH MY GOODNESS, the kids were ecstatic. The bouncer came after lunch. Then at 4 we had a Photographer come and take Family pictures. This is the FIRST time in a long time we had EVERYONE all together. We were able to get every GRANDMA'S dream picture with ALL the kids in the same place. There are many pictures taken, when you are taking family pictures with a CRAZY FUN bunch of people you get some GREAT shots. I had to add all the pictures that were taken till we FINALLY would get the perfect best shot.

The first thing we did to start off the party was have a rocket flying contest. Each family made a rocket out of 2 liter bottles, 1 golf ball and lots of Duct tape. It was really fun. 

Everyone loved the BOUNCER, I think the adults

 had as much as the kids.

The most comical part was watching people fly down the slide.

My sister Britt, compiled a book of memories about Dad, from family and friends. It turned out AMAZING!! He LOVED it.

Here is the family pictures:

 My oldest brother, Mike and his family trying to get a picture on the slide, YUP, no luck, they fell every time, really funny!!! The standing one worked out better!!

My other brother, Fred and his family

My oldest sister, Michelle and her husband Chuy

Our family... ( I don't know where Morgan disappeared, 

I didn't get a single shoe of her)

My little sister, Brittney and her family

All the kids and their spouses

All the siblings..Michelle does YOGA, look at that stretch :)

SISTERS, I think this story went that Britt was getting an eyelash off Michelle's cheek and ACCIDENTALLY pinched her cheek REALLY hard!! We got it together for a beautiful shot.

MOMENTS.....

Seriously, the chicken...it was a juggling chicken for Chuy which became the parties mascot. It was late, we were partying ALL DAY and this chicken became the funniest thing ( we had lost it)..yes, you had to be there, just look how happy Julia looks with the chicken. Oh, Mr. Chicken how we miss thee....

Joslyn in the bottom picture is happily petting a DEAD dragonfly, she was in heaven. We buried it after!!!

Chuy's juggling act....

This is what happens when Twinkies are around, 

you get creamed.

I thought this was a cool picture. We had a YUMMY dutch oven dinner. The briquettes made PERFECT Mellow roasters. This is Julia feeling the love. YUMMY, smores!!
