Rain Rain Go Away!

We had our annual redneck reunion last week end....it rained!!!! A few die hards still showed up and the in-laws (the hosts of the party) seemed to be happy anyway. As promised here are a few pictures of the big event.


Me and BOTH of my children, when did they grow up?


Bre and Dustin...gotta love his face

Hubby's sister and family
Hubby dear stuffing his face



Even with the cold rainy weather everyone that attended seemed to enjoy themselves.



Bre and Justin are away on their very first 'grown-up' week end. They are camping at Old Orchard...without adults...lol. They planned it themselves...paid for it themselves...and I'm sure are enjoying the freedom very much. Bre has gone to Justin's (he lives with his parents) house for the week end several times this summer but this just feels SOOOO very different to me. It's not just about her being gone it's that they are responsible for themselves...I guess it's just one more 'right of passage'...on her journey to NOT NEEDING her mommy any more. I miss being NEEDED!

Guess this is just a preview of what
life will be like after September 3,
College moving day....!
