UP NORTH PARTY!!!

the girls and I traveled "up north" for a party to celebrate the return of our long lost rellies. Troy and Leah and their brood of Veronica, Ben, and William returned to the states for a visit. We played at Uncle Gary's house. Check out the jumper courtesy of Angie.



Ethan and Cameron ruled the jumper. She had a total of 5 head bonks. Ethan had only one, but it drew a pin dot of blood and the party was over. EMC was called to place the neon green bandaid on the devastating wound.

Hayden and Cameron played with some of the toys at Aunt Toni and Uncle Gary's. We spent the night at the hotel and someone asked Jen if the girls were twins. Ahhh... so cute.

And the wanderer returns. The tall one is Troy, he's holding William. Angie and her girls Audrey and Cora. Dave oversees the group.

Aunt Delores and Uncle Allan chat mom up, while she gives me the hand. Nice ma.

I really only added this photo b/c of Brooke's body. She appears to be facing front, but what is up with her foot? Freaky!!!

Gotta luv it.

Cousin Sarah - who only lives a mile from me - and Auntie Janet, who will be having 3 grandkids by this spring...any guesses?

Cousin Tricia, Jordyn - who sadly informed us she is not going to be our famous cousin. I still have hopes for her to make it big in the movie business. And Dave, the overseer.

We love Grandma Tye.

Carson and Grandma. This lovely secluded spot is at Uncle Gary's. He made a cool fire pit in the woods.

Uncle Paul took the kiddies for a ride on the four wheeler. Cameron said she didn't like it, but Paul swears she was going "Wheeeeee," the whole time.

How cute it Carson???

The other favorite Uncle Paul.

Sally, Cameron, Ethan, Paul, and Paul.

Sally roasting marshmellows for C and E.

The best sand pile ever. Jared, Lydia, Audrey, Ethan, Cameron and the winner of the dirtiest girl ever, Veronica!!! She's the one who is sliding down the sand pile. Previous winner of the best sand burial ever!

It was a fun trip. We stayed at a hotel with Hayden and Ethan. We swam and had a blast. Tim couldn't go with us due to one of his MANY fantasy football drafts. Cousin Aaron graciously offered to ride with us. We made it twenty minutes and Cameron got car sick. Poor baby. We took care of it and we were off again. Aaron literally held the puke bucket. He was great.

All in all, a successful weekend!
