Family Pictures

While we were back home for Thanksgiving my family had our pictures taken by Emily Davidson Photography. It was cold and a little windy but we braved the weather and got some nice shots of the entire family. We got the photos back so quick and are ready to be developed soon to hang on my wall. Here are a few of my family!

Mom's Birthday

The day after I arrived my sister and I set up for a birthday party for my mom. I made red and yellow tissue poms to hang from the ceiling and my sister and her husband made homemade vanilla ice cream. We made dinner for the family along with my aunt's help getting some fried chicken and had a nice summer feast. We had family and a few family friends to help make my mom's day special.

 

 

Earlier that same day we went to Claires and my sister C got her ears pierced! My younger sisters are growing up so fast, it's hard to believe. This girlie has almost caught up with me in height!!! She did so well and acted so calm as she got her ears done. Look at that happy face :D

 

After getting her ears pierced!

4th of July

I arrived the 4th of July in the afternoon. We had a nice BBQ outside, rode the little motorcycle, shot some clay pigeons, lit some fireworks, and enjoyed time with family.

 

 

How many parachutes can we catch???

 

 

Ready to shoot some parachutes!

   











     

It gets pretty hot out where I am from so swimming is a must to stay cool!

                                  

 

One of my cousin's bought a new gun so there was some clay pigeon shooting. Many of us tried, even me. Jamie, my cousin's wife did the best out of all of us girls, she hit 2 out of 2!

 

 

My brother-in-law almost flew off the bike and gave us all a laugh! I think all the adults, including me, had more fun on the bike and had a harder time sharing than the kids did haha!!!

 

My cousin's wedding reception

{Late Post}

Thankfully I was able to get a few days off to go celebrate my cousin's happy wedding reception day at the beginning of June. I thought I wouldn't be able to take it off after my long vacation to Mexico and new enrollment of clients at work but I was able to get a day and a half approved. I was so excited that I was going to be able to make it and surprise my cousin. The reception was decorated so cute and they were such a good looking couple ;)
