Reunion

Stacy went with Shae and Harper to a work out location Saturday morning. Since they were gone for most of the morning, Grammy and Grandpa stepped up to the plate and kept the kids entertained! Way to go, guys!

Shelby was funny. He wanted to do everything just like MaryAnn, including drink out of the pink princess cups.
Grandpa Dino and Baby Trace.Grandpa braved the lake with the two rugrats. Grandpa and Grammy got them life vests. HUGE help! Shelby and MaryAnn were so pooped after playing in the lake. Soon after Shelby laid around on G-G-Daddy, the two kids took a 3 hour nap! And, G-G-Daddy fell asleep in the sun.When they awoke from their nap, they found the big kids had returned! Round 2!

With the extra help, even Little Stacy got to join in the fun.

Okay, all Munchkins out, the big boys need a break.

Shelby chillin' with Ciotka (sounds like Chuch-ee)

How about some land games.

These are actually 2 videos from the night before.

Tackle Grandpa Dino!

Hannah and Aunt Linda arrived Saturday evening.

This video cracks me up for a couple of reasons.

#1 Watch Shelby struggling to get the bag of Cheetos. MaryAnn is chomping away like, "whatever dude, you're on your own" and like a typical man, Shelby refuses to ask for help.

#2 He triumphantly gets the bag of chips and gets so excited he skips half the numerical system in telling Hannah how many Cheetos he desires.

#3 When Hannah holds tight to Mommy's word, Shelby is immediately defeated and Hannah looks for help. You did good, Hannah!

Uncle Tim and Ian got there at 1:30am, coming from a baseball tournament. Can someone please tell me where time goes! When Stacy and I first started dating 8 years ago, this guy was a little pip-squeak. Now he's a grown man with facial hair! And Hannah is in college, with her transfer to UT starting this fall. Wow!

Saturday night we celebrated Shae's Birthday! We let him make us all dinner as a special treat. LOL! He did a fabulous grilling job, really, though.

On Sunday morning, Shae & Harper set up the pinata they brought and the kids got down to business!

After a lot of hard work, they had to cut them a break and make a nice crack so MaryAnn could finish off the job. Shelby was coaching her from the sidelines, "Get de candy, MauwyAnn!"

When she was successful, their little conversation had me rolling. It went like this:

Shelby - "Good job, MauwyAnn!" as he patted her on the back and took off (below) to get the candy.

MaryAnn - Looked up without missing a beat, "That's right, Cowboy!"

HILARIOUS!

Grandpa Dino made sure Baby Trace got to enjoy a lick or two.

That's all, folks!

We had a wonderful time at the reunion. HUGE thanks to Grammy for all the planning all year long. Can't wait to see you guys next year! Love you all!
