This past weekend we made the trip up to Visalia to celebrate Rob’s Uncle Robert’s 50th birthday party. We rode with Ray and Kelly and towed a trailer. We left Friday night and got there close to midnight. Visalia is where Rob’s Uncle Don lives and it’s almost an even drive for everyone.
On Saturday morning we all went to Daniel’s baseball game. I’m sure we completely overwhelmed the regular attenders with our LOUD yelling and laughing. It was a great game (even tho they didn’t win) cuz Daniel scored!
Then we came back to the house to set up for the party. Aunt Val made these cute center pieces, what a great idea huh??!
So our big idea was to all wear white shirts and flip flops because that is always what we see Robert wearing. So what does he show up in?? A BLACK shirt and SHOES!!! hahaah it was too funny!
Robert, Carolee, Cindy, Janet, and Don
A surprise to Robert was flying Aunt Betty (his dad’s sister) out!
Some of our activities…
Clyde (is that right?) – Rob’s dog – such a good boy!
Little bit of a hockey match…
No explanation needed here….
Now, let me just say that these kids are so well behaved that will not pee in the pool. That being said, we took advantage of it and had him pee in the bush! hahahaha soooo funny, we were all bustin up! It was perfect.
This is Uncle Guy…
He MADE these!
Happy Birthday Robert! It was a great weekend!
While taking a break during Easter Josh and Peri went outside to color with chalk. Josh laid down and had Peri outline him. Then he did it to her. She thought that was the funniest, until Josh drew her nose too big, but she got over it quick by “rolling” down the hill…
hahaaaaa!
My mom, Nicole, and I decided it would be fun to hit up the Pasadena flea market on Easter sunday. In the back of my mind i had kinda thought that it would be less crowded, but it was just like any other time. Packed. Although as soon as we parked we got to see two grown men get into a very loud and ….. wordy argument, followed by someone yelling out ” Happy Easter!”. haha It was Nicole’s first time at the Rose Bowl, and she enjoyed it very much (Yeah!)
Here’s our goodies!!!
Now, i told myself “No Bauer!!!!” but i couldn’t help it!!! i have a problem. I was told that the turquoise casserole pot was Bauer, but its not written on the bottom. What do you think Aunt Nancy? Nicole scored on some jars and my mom got some frogs. oh – and i got rob a globe bank – how cute!
When we got home we celebrated Easter with robs parents and the rest of the fam, but i was too tired to capture the moment. sorry! 
So recently both Kelly and Brooke graduated from college. Due to their HUGE accomplishment we had, what else, but a PARTY!!!! Thanks to both Ray’s parents, and Buddy and Carolee we had a great time! Ray’s parents house has the perfect back yard for parties, in fact, this is where Ray and Kelly got married (almost 5 years ago!).
during the night, Kelly and i were both acting like Raelynne was ours..that’s good enough..right?!
Carolee wanted a fresh family photo. I loved this shot that i got while i was testing the light. But the real one, i think is the best…
Buddy and Carolee got the girls thumb rings, and on the inside they said “Love and Pride 08″
Janet & Keith, My mom & dad…AKA Twins!
ah, what a nice Uncle Buddy!
I kinda felt like i was shooting a wedding when i got this pic, hahahah
Seriously people, what can be funnier than a little kid picking their nose, waiting for a slice of ice cream cake??
Can’t wait for the next party!
Have you ever seen yourself dance? Well, after watching this video i almost didn’t make this post. This was from last Thanksgiving at Janet and Keith’s house. A couple of things to mention…
- The music was never loud enough, even tho the guys outside were yelling at us that it was. We, (as in Janet) kept turning it up which in turn broke the speakers!
- Yes, Kelly is using a feather duster as a mike at the end of the video.
- Yes, i now see that my go-to move is some form of the “Lawn Mower”,”The Jerk”, & ” The Pony”.
Enjoy!
Because of my friend Jon, i can now say that i have a WEBSITE!!!!! Come visit me over here….and don’t forget to check out the new blog too!!!!!!!
Thanks Jon!!!
This past weekend we were invited to stay over at Matt and Rachel’s new house. The girls watched Twilight (!!!) and the guys played poker, and of course being as loud as possible during the movie. MEN! Anywho, the next day Ryan was being as cute as ever and i got a couple of shots, he was also very interested in my camera and wanted to take as many pictures as possible with it, he would say “i do?! i do!?” sooo cute!
Here he is VERY excited to pose with “hobert”, as he would say…
Then he wanted to try, he put my strap around his neck and was ready to go!
He helped me take this one…
so frickin adorable, right?!?!?!
