Family Week!

This past week was insane. Both of my brothers plus Lee's fiance, Meredith, came into town for a family reunion/95th birthday party for my great uncle. We had a blast with all the family but are so glad to be back to our normal routine.

We started the week at the City Garden with Uncle Bobo

Thursday was spent at my grandmothers pool.

Friday morning my future sister in law and I went antiquing and found some really cool brooches so that she can have one of these on her wedding day. So cool, right?
Than off we went to a family bbq with my aunts uncles and cousins plus my dads cousins and all of their children and grand children. The ribs were quite yummy.

Than Saturday was litterally a whirlwind. With shower brunch in the moring for Meredith, than photographs at the Ritz,

than me to a job interview.

Carlos and I than headed to the birthday celebration (sans kids) with the fam at Cardwells where we ate filet mignon. The magnificent food was a great end to the bussiest day ever.

My Great Uncle John had an amazing turn out with relatives flying in from all over the country/world. 80 people or so showed up and helped him ring in the next 5 years. Here's to 100 and celbrating in Paris

Sunday consisted of dad, Lee, Meredith and me leading worship at West County Fellowship. Lunch followed at my Aunt Carols house. Than this tired family all came home for naptime!

Monday, finally, arrived and the kids and I loaded up the car for a drive to Arcadia Valley to check out Elephant Rocks and Johnston Shutins. It was cold and rainy but a nice day spent with Aunts and Uncles I rarely see.

Like I said, I'm glad it's Tuesday and that everyone has pretty much headed home. The sitter is here and I'm supposed to be working. Better get to it.
