Remember when Memorial Day was the "first weekend of Summer"? The weekend that we planned the first big camping trip, the first summer picnic, the first family barbecue, the first cool dip in the lake, the first fun filled road trip, the first crazy outdoor adventure of the YEAR? It seems that as the years have gone by that Summer doesn't really happen until July 4th when we celebrate Independence Day...and even then Summer weather is a bit "iffy"...so do we wait for summer to come or do we just say...BRING IT ON BABY?!
I guess in my family we say~
Bring it on Baby!
My brother didn't let a little cloudy weather and a cold breeze detour his plans for a Memorial Day barbecue! All of my siblings were together, as well as their spouses and kids, which doesn't happen very often with our busy, hectic lives. It was great to see two of my aunts as well, one coming all the way from Vegas and the other from the Salt Lake valley. Parties with my family are always full of laughs, LOADS of food and a lot of fun! Clouds and rain didn't put a damper on our fun filled night!
The guys were out playing a game of basketball~
One of my sweet little nephews was out for his own game of basketball...
Kim and one of my adorable niece's, Alex, having great one-on-one time!
My awesome Aunt Jo from Salt lake...catching up with my sister
My brother getting razed for his "choice of plaids"...think we'll turn him in
to "WHAT NOT TO WEAR" for a little clothing make over...ha ha ha
Two of my amazing nieces performing a song they wrote...talk about VERY TALENTED!
My dear Aunt Saundra enjoying dinner and trying to stay warm...
My wonderful dad and Aunt Jo...all smiles after dad sang "The Mountain Dew Song"...HILARIOUS!
Most of the "boy cousins"...we're just missing my other tall SON, Erik...
my son-in-law Jack, and my grandson Kenron
THE AMAZING CHEF and party planner...my brother Aaron and cute nephew Riley, hanging out~
Most of the girl cousins...all except my daughter Dayna and daughter-in-law, Dana.
It was a great party...it always is when my family gets together.
I might be a little prejudice,
but I think I have the most amazing family ever...come rain, snow or shine...they are the best!
