Summer Blowout...

In honor of Labor Day, we had a barbecue and pool party with 40 of our closest family and friends. We provided the burgers, dogs and drinks and everyone else was wonderful to bring appetizers, sides, and dessert.

Here's the "Furs" group! Yes every party Joey, Joyce, Teresa, Mom, and Dad sit in the same spot (near the food) watching everyone come and go while they chat about the "old times". There is something to be said for the good old days.

The pool really didn't start hoppin' until the night. It's awesome that with so many different ages, all the kids get along so well.

A few rounds of parent/kid volleyball were played before the big kids took over the net.

Yes, this is a special appearance made by me on the blog, normally I prefer to be behind the camera. I couldn't pass up to post a picture of me and my favorite guy (jealous Daddy?) Ain't he just the cutest thing you ever seen! I just love him to pieces.

Don't they look like 3 proud men! You would think they conquered Mount Everest; but no, sadly they just pulled the cooler in the pool so they did not have to go as far to get a beer! To end the night they should have sang "100 cans of beer on the wall" because that is about how many cans we went through, in addition to 3 bottles of pre-made Margarita mix, and 3 big bottles of wine! You can bet those boys were moving slow the next day, or like Mike who did not move at all!

Overall, I think the party was a success and everyone had a fun time. We are very lucky to have such great friends and family that mix so well.

You know your a redneck when.... your daughter improves her math skills by counting the empty beer cans laying around the backyard the next morning. Nice! Parents of the year award here we come :)
