friday night we went to edmond for the annual birthday party at carla's house. sadly, jerry and his crew couldn't be there friday night, but we partied anyway! i spent my time rocking a crying baby and playing with pippin. pippin is caitlin's cockatiel. he's so awesome! he's what i had hoped joey would be like. i tried to teach him the song deep in the heart of texas. he obviously liked it because every time i whistled it, he bobbed his head up and down! i told him we'd work on it some more the next time i'm there!

saturday the rest of the family showed up. there were 30+ people in the jones' house! wow!
colby wanted to swim, so most of the time i was outside "life-guarding" which wasn't bad because it was beautiful weather. i did make him get out while i took the nieces and nephews to pops for a little getaway. it started out with me taking 3 of the nieces, but word quickly spread and soon my sister-in-law dana was taking her truck, too, to hold everyone!
speaking of dana....she taught colby how to make a fart noise in his armpit using a straw! it was so funny!!!!! he was quite impressed with this new talent. {i just hope he doesn't demonstrate at school!}
after the pops break, it was picture time! of course everyone was thrilled about this part of the day! {especially all the little boys!} this picture is of grandma's crew. 
this next picture is of the 1st cousins and their spouses.....sort of. since daryl and i were in the picture, we handed our camera off to someone else to take the picture. they in turn handed the camera to grandma. when daryl saw this happen, he jokingly said, "don't give the camera to her! she'll just manage to take pictures of our feet!" later that evening when i was looking at all the pictures we'd taken so far, i found this!

grandma's feet
the rest of the day was spent watching college football. first it was the OSU game and then it was the disappointing OU game. i must say i didn't watch much of either game because the volume was turned up SO STINKIN' LOUD! and it wasn't like they had to turn it up because people were talking. besides the noise from the tv, it was silent! wow. i must be getting old!
at one point i couldn't take the noise anymore so i went for a stroll outside. carla has beautiful flower beds, and since i like to take pictures of nature....well, you know. i took pictures of her flowers. my favorite flowers were these daisies!
right next to the daisies was a HUGE wasp/hornet/yellow-jacket {i don't really know} nest! for some reason i was fascinated by it. i took LOTS of pictures of it!
and right after dinner, spencer finally got to go on a motorcycle ride with his great-uncle jack. he'd been waiting all day....
then today we had lunch with my side of the family at jason's deli. i was trying to take a picture of my sister, but she wouldn't cooperate! i took one slightly unflattering picture of her, and she didn't trust me to NOT use it on my blog or any other place! so she stole my purse until i deleted the picture! can you believe she wouldn't trust ME?

Looks like you had a great time! Time with family all together like that is pretty rare.
Somehow I just knew a certain picture would make it on your blog. So much fun, hope we can make this a yearly thing.
