Last Friday evening (after shower pic's)...

Well, if you've ever been around Jenni, Buck and I...even mom, you know the real party doesn't start until after everyone has gone home and it's just us four lurking around...give us a couple props and we can laugh for hours...stupid stuff...but very funny in our eyes...that's what I absolutely love about my family...Jim, Thea, and Kent included...we can turn any moment in to something hilarious and funny!!!! Don't ever be the first one to bed around us...you just might end up with a snot rag wrapped around your head like a do rag...sorry Case and Hayden...Emma, you might want to keep your pretty little doll locked up tight...


First of all, my room was called the "Barnyard"...fitting since I have raccoons for children...and somehow Emma slept in our room too...the more the merrier!!
Here's a little tidbit for ya...I have terrible allergies and since I can remember, I have carried a hanky around, yes, like an old man in his back pocket...anyway, Buck got a hold of it and it was on the boys' heads ASAP for our first photo's...like I said, don't go to sleep while we're still awake...WARNING ,WARNING!!!

Jenni and Kent's room was the "Birdhouse"... once again the name of the room very fitting for Jenni as well, we have always called her "bird"or "birdie"...this picture is of her squawking like a fine feathered friend...we thought it was funny!?!?!

Buck must have been digging through our bags...he found some undies for Case to use as a nightcap...don't worry, they were clean!!

Kent, being new to the family, decided to go to bed early...not smart Kent, not smart...as the snot rag ended up on his head too...jeez, we're sick aren't we!!!

Jenni found a tiny lantern, we thought it was hilarious that she was using it like she was finding her way through the little house on the prairie house...apparently Kent didn't find the humor in it like we did...notice his finger!!!

Poor Emma brought her cute little baby doll...well, Jenni got a hold of it and we had a grand old time playing like it was real...
Jenni and Buck taking the little lady for a walk...it looks like the doll has a nightgown on?!?!

Please note that it was very late at night...we were trying to be quiet...a quiet roar!!!

Piggy back anyone!?!?! You'll have to wait your turn...

Proud papa...her arms look a little stiff...it looks like she wants to give Bucky a hug...

Also on the guest list...Hugh Hefner...

We staged this picture...Jenni is supposed to look upset (even though she's smiling) because she has no boobs and Thea has a shirt on that says something about flat hills or I don't know I can't remember, but it was about boobs...

Karate Kid III...coming to a theater near you...

Buck and Thea...nice ding dong face you have there Buck...
we were so excited to have these two drive back from Colorado for the weekend to be there...it was fantastic...it is NOT very often we're all together at the same time...and what I love is that no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other, we can pick up with each other immediately and have so much fun...ahh family love!!!! :)

We got breakfast served to us both mornings we were there...it was a nice change- not being the one to make it and clean up...I could go for that every morning!!!

Later that morning we started sitting up for the reception outside....Case was helping push the hay of the back of mom's old pick-up that I named "the rod"...

We are so lucky to have Kent, Emma, Thea, and of course my honey Jim in our family (a little side note ...he knows by now that it's not safe to be around us siblings late at night..for some reason he opted to stay at his mom's house in town...chicken!!!)...they fit right in like gloves!!!!! I am very proud of everyone and lucky to have them all by my side...I absolutely HATED to see the weekend come to an end...that meant it was back to reality and everyone parted ways to go back to their normal lives...but not for long...the wedding in Phoenix is coming up in October...hope you're ready for a ton of what we call "funny" pictures with who knows what kind of props...new state, new props...
