Extended family fun

Saturday we all met in Florence for a baby shower for Charity. Fun to see cousins together again.

We enjoyed a short over night visit with Celeste and Spencer and girls.
Marissa and Adeline loved sleeping in the loft.

Adeline is a little night owl and decided to stay up and have a few snacks with Uncle Jerry in his chair. ( Wish I had taken a pic. She was so cute rocking with him) After some m&m's and a few bowl of snacks and cold milk she finally gave it up around 11 pm and went to sleep.
The girls liked a morning rock on the porch.
Just wouldn't do if Aunt Kim didn't get to fix "hair" pretty. . Marrisa thought everyone should see there cute ponytails.
Wish we all lived closer so we could get together more often. I am so glad we have continued to stay close through the years and share fun moments together.

I wanted to take her home with me.

Her smile just melted our heart.

Daddy-daughter so sweet
She had her beautiful dress on that her Great Grandma Ard gave her.
Uncle Will loving those nose kisses!
They are so beautiful. I love their matching blues!

Chef David

Real homemade fries at the Edward's house- "grease and all"!

David cut the potatoes in slices and some with the cool french fry cutter.
He helped do the frying.


Wonder how many calories are in that scoop?

Fried to perfection!

David and Jerry enjoyed the whole basket full!

David was wondering if his cousin Michael liked this kind.....and that's all folks. Anybody want the leftovers?

Family reunion at the beach

We all took tons of photos during the past two weeks. My sister hired a professional photographer for a beach photo session. It was fun for everyone! I have so many ones I want to post. We just had fun day after day hanging out together and laughing, eating and enjoying the beach.

Here was my favorite picture of me and Jerry.
Seth taking care of the twins. What a great big brother!
Great shot of the Bailey Bunch!

Carolyn and that beautiful blond hair blowing in the beach breeze.
For Mom's session she wanted everyone to wear Red, White and Blue. It turned out so nice!
I love this shot of my siblings and our spouses. First is my sister Jean and Jeff, then me and Jerry, then my sister Libbi and Pete and last is my brother Floyd and Laurel.

Here is my mom with all of her children.

This one has my Dad and StepMom with all of us.This was from my Dad's photo shoot of all the gang. Each family wore a different color. We wore white, FLoyd-purple, Libbi-coral, Jean- Red, Kerry-navy and Dad and Dibbie-black.


Beth took a great snapshot of me and my sisters.
