This year we missed out on Michael, Irina, Kajai, and Akasha, Gary and Shannon and their 2 kids, and also Baileys 3 children. ( WOW that took a lot of getting out)
Of course when you combine all these people together you are bound for a day of fun that always ends up with food in the air and on a lot of bodies. Leave it to all the teenage boys and grown up boys for that matter. (CHRIS)
We tried our best to take a grandchild picture. We were missing 4 grandkids and 3 great- grand kids. We have decided we have to jump on the chance when the chance arises. We have fewer and far between visits from all the grandchildren at once. I also begged my family to please please let someone take our family picture for Christmas. I know it seems a little early, but if you understood how difficult and how full of excuses they are you would start in August as well. I ended up posting one of them to our blog, so it looks like these will not be our Christmas pictures after all.
This year since we are getting so big we decided to go to Poway Lake. We had a great spot --besides the folks next to us who were "The Poway Lake Sunday Drunk White Trash Family", who asked us to join in their volleyball game (if that is what you called it?) It only lasted one serve, before they were screaming the serve was to hard and then that turned into a fight. (Good thing we were only drinking Diet Coke. It could've gotten ugly) We soon moved on to a baseball game, while some went on on a boat. We had a little soccer with everyone, water balloon launching and grandpa's favorite; a talent show,(where he is still insisting Cyd, Cassi, Staci and I sing Starlight Express).
Summers are the BEST!!
Below are some highlights.
