Independence Day Family Get-Together

We had an awesome family get-together today! I love it when all the cousins, aunts and uncles get together to spend time and hang out. Bamaw had a great idea to put two slip-n-slides end to end and the kids LOVED it! Austin made a now-famous layered trifle, Mitchell is becoming a serious grill master and grilled a bunch of chicken legs, hot dogs and an amazing pork loin. I broiled some delicious pineapple with a butter/brown sugar/cinnamon glaze. Ah-mazing! Liz's sister, Rebekah, was in town visiting them and came over to hang out too. It was fun to catch up with her and hear about her recent trip to Houston and San Antonio with Isaac and Katelyn. Such a fun family day!

 Hahaha, I thought this was hilarious!

 Uncle Austin made two of these!

 This was seriously good pork! So moist!

This is seriously so good, oh my word!

 Tucking in

 Aunt Bekah and the kids

 Buddies!

 More buddies!

 Our oldest cousin. She is so sweet!

 Ow ow!! Sexy man!! <3 p="">

 Jon fell asleep, mwahahaha!

 A Crush of Cousins!

 Emeri started putting cherry halves on her fingertips and Katelyn wanted in on the fun

 Mwahahahaha!

 First splash, haha

 Organized chaos

 Drinking the water, just like a country kid

 Gotcha!

 Zoom!

 Collision!

 Cool dude



 Super(wo)man!






 I have no idea where he got this, but it's hilarious!





 Wet and squishy hugs

 The laid-back slip-n-slide




 So much I love about this pic

 Brothers!

 Our most frequent trifle eater!

 Catch it!

 Liz and Austin took their youngest kids home to pack and get ready for their early morning departure to Washington tomorrow. We persuaded them to leave Isaac behind while the rest of the adults played the card game "Oh Heck." 

 Baby Makenzie! Mitchell is especially smitten. She's so calm.

Sweet smiles!

Andrew and Clara's Pinata


We didn't have time to break the pinata during the party, so we got together to break it today! According to Liz, Andrew kept asking and asking about when we were going to have the pinata, so he was thrilled to finally get a whack at it today, haha! See what I did there? ;) As usual, we started with the youngest and moved to the oldest... Katelyn was determined that it would end with her! She gave it a couple good hits and severed Spiderman at the waist. Uncle David picked up the top half and made it a puppet. Ew!

Jon helped Gracie give Spiderman a beating, haha!

Andrew waited a long time for this moment... and he didn't disappoint, haha!

Swing and a hit for Logan!

Derek forgot that Aunt Lizzie usually spins the older kids before they take a swing. Whoa!

Swing and a miss for Derek!

Spinning Isaac...

Spiderman was no match for Katelyn when she means business!

Chaos!

There's always at least one kid who cries... poor Andrew only had a couple pieces of candy

"Can I have candy, too, please?"

Golden coins are always a hit with these kids... particularly this one. ;)

Uncle David and his Spider-puppet, haha!
