family fiesta

oh mercy me! i took soooooo {tooooo} many pictures on the 4th of july family gathering. it was held here at my house...it really pays to have a backyard with a pool, especially on hot days! we are definitely the new party house {'least for the summer!}.

first of all, there were 21 of us all together {and we were missing 2 people}. just a big family...well it is compared to just my side. ;) we get crazy when we're all together, it's always fun...usually a kid cries and something gets broken {let me rephrase that, something always gets broken!}. but all in all we have fun and that's what matters.

i have personally taken a vow to myself to never - ever - EVER 1.) drink tequila ever again and 2.) never let a drunk person mix my drinks {i won't name any names...it wasn't mom though...you know who you are mister!!}. ;) yes, it got crazy for a bit. but i'm still alive and i have lived and learned. HA HA!

here are the pics, i will let them speak for themselves...i took 200 of them, but these are the better ones {minus a few incriminating ones that no one will ever see...but me, hee hee hee}.

Ooops, sorry these darn pics always come out backwards when I load them to photobucket and copy the code. we will go backwards...we ENDED the night with some rock band!

Looks like you guys had a great time. We were by the pool all day too. It wasn't too hot here, but the heat is a comin'! It is suppose to be 106 here tomorrow.
No, "G" isn't here with us anymore. He moved a few weeks ago. Things seem to be going well for him there and he has boys his age to play with too.
Loved all the pics.
