Early April we got together with all of my cousins, aunts and uncles at my parents' house. We never got a group picture but here are a few shots from our fun weekend together!
My brother, Josh, my sister-in-law, Laura and my niece, Izzie
Charlie playing outside
Nate playing in the dirt. He had a blast!!
Kissing cousins Izzie and Charlie
Like my brother said, "We left our mark" on these two kids!
We celebrated Carson's 30th birthday and Jennalee's (my cousin) 16th birthday
Kevin (my cousin) and Shelby are engaged and getting married May 2012. They're too cute!!
My sweet grandparents, Meme and Pop, are in heaven watching over all of us now. But my mom and her siblings make an effort every year to get us all together as a family... and we always have so much fun! Below: Terry, Shela, Janet (my mom) and J.
My beautiful cousins with me, Jessica and Jennalee
(In case you haven't caught onto the trend... there are a lot of people with "J" names in our family)
We often like to shoot skeet as a family and if my father is involved, you better believe we have plenty of earplugs for hearing protection.
We put Madeline, Janae and Parker in charge of pushing the button when we said "Pull" for the skeet!
Some of the guys shooting: Jess (my dad), Robert, Carson, Kevin and Jeff
Doesn't my cousin, Jessica, look super hot shooting this gun??
Uncle J helping Janae shoot
Jeff (my cousin) helping his son, Parker
All 5 of these babies were born in 2009 ("recession babies") and their picture last year seen here, was cute and they were cooperative... but not this year! Grayson, Nate, Charlie, Izzie and Mia were not happy about it. Of course as soon as we put the camera away, they were back to laughing and playing.
My brother and his beautiful little girl, Izzie
My Aunt Terry and two of her grandchildren, Madeline and Mia
Nate was entertainment all weekend. After playing in the dirt, he chowed down on some cake!
My cousin, Todd, and his sweet wife, Cara
We all brought stuff from our homes that we didn't want or use anymore and exchanged them! With Carson's cousin we call it "crap swap" so we started the same tradition with my cousins. I walked away with a fun baseball toy for Charlie and some yoga DVDs for me!
Aunt Terry loving on little Nate
When things settled down, Saturday night we ate some crawfish!!
And it was yummy!!
I am truly blessed with such a fun and wonderful family! I love you all!! xoxo
(we missed those who couldn't be there)
