Party at our House

We've actually had quite a few parties at our house lately- it's been lots of fun! First we had the homeschooler group over for a potluck picnic and water games and more than 60 people attended. Then we had everyone over again for swimming in the river the following week- the water swing that goes into the river is a real hit! The kids can spend hours and hours on it. Unfortunately, I forgot to make use of my camera on either occasion. Then, on Saturday, my extended family came for a BBQ so that everyone could meet my sister's new boyfriend- Hunter.The kids had a great time playing with their cousins!Mom, Grandma and Mandy helped me get some wallpaper off the "soon-to-be-baby's-room" wall that afternoon. It took hours and we didn't even get close to finishing, so I am so glad they were there to help me out. Who invented wallpaper?? It seems to be the bane of every home owner's existence! Here's Grandma in front of one wall, newly devoid of plaid wallpaper.
Me and the baby getting ready to cook some pork ribs.... only 6 weeks left, by the way!
And here's the whole family! -well most of them. And I can't get the underline to turn off and I'm ready to run out the door- so just ignore it! :-)**Note** I guess it is not underline- just red font. Still, I can't get the darn thing to turn off.....

fun times! I love that everyone is smiling in the group shot except for your grandpa (is that him?)

I'm glad we could visit--it makes the layout of your house and yard make sense. Good luck this last six weeks! how exciting!

Sariah--
I didn't know you were expecting--congratulations!!! Do you know whether you are having a boy or a girl, or is it a surprise?

Oh you look so cute! Good luck. Good to know you are the one cooking the burgers too, I'm not the only one.

Love the little peaks inside your life. So glad you're a regular blogger. By the way, you're so adorable when you're pregnant. Especially in your rib cookin' apron! Your dad looks really happy in the family photo. He must not like ribs. Tee hee...just kidding. Tell everybody hi. Miss you. Michelle

I haven't had an ultra sound, so we don't know if we're having a boy or girl. And no, I haven't had any particular "feelings" one way or another- though I am drawing a big blank when it comes to boy names. Knowing me, that just means I'm drawing a blank....

By the way, that's my dad in the front of the picnic picture. (My mom's taking the picture.) Dad always looks that happy. According to him, ex-Marines have a reputation to uphold. :-)
