Our family get together

On Friday night, everyone (minus Jarrett who was not feeling well) came to my parents for dinner. The food was yummy and I think everyone had a great time. After dinner, we all went out back to play. I think this was the most fun family get together I have had in a long time. Here are some random pictures from the evening:

Grammy & Gramps with all the grand children minus Jarret:

back row: Grammy, Preston, Wesley, Gramps

second row: Riley, Alex, Olivia

front row: Emily, Avery, Oliver (doesn't he look picked on), Madi & Layla

Avery showed up with some bling in her ears. You can't tell from this picture, but she is actually really happy about it!

Michele hoola-hooping. She will hate this picture, but I love it. I have a video too that is great, but I won't push my luck! :)

kids playing

Oliver & Daddy doing Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Uncle Jerone & Layla

We really wanted to get a shot of these two cousins together who are only seven weeks apart. Unfortunately, I don't thing Oliver purposely smiled for one picture this day. I love this expression on his face, ummm, smiling...I don't think so.

Oliver is about to make a run for it, but this is cute of Avery

So after about a dozen bad shots, I give up and stand up and then Oliver gives me this smile...I think he was really laughing at me! :)

Oliver & Madi had such a great time playing together. Madi always loved Oliver as a baby, and I think she loves him just as much now...and it's obvious to me that he loves her right back!

Riley with baby Layla

I can't tell you what April was talking about, but you can imagine by her hands! ;)

April, Jerone, Pamela & Michele

Debbie is the real photographer in our family, Clayton just got a couple of shots on the sidelines
