What a weekend!! We worked hard, but we had a lot of fun, too! Ryan's mom and Allen host a big family get together every Father's Day. Ryan's mom's side of the family shows up, Allen's side of the family shows up, and now that I'm in the mix, I bring my parents along for the ride. :)
I have to say, while I love my little family, being part of Ryan's big {not fat, not Greek} family is quite fun. {I think my parents like being part of it too, because it's just so different from what we're used to! Hope it's okay if I share some of our pictures with you!
Ryan's little niece LOVES to play with my old camera. I carry it with me in case my regular camera has issues, and she believes I bring it because it's just for her. Her favorite thing is for me to take pictures of her taking pictures of me...
Look who I found out at the grill!!
Ryan's Aunt Ruthie {or as I call her, Aunt Ruthie Woo Hoo}. She's a treasure!
Ryan and Mr. Cheesy Smile.
This is how two toddlers decorate....
My sister came to have lunch with my parents at their house, and she stopped by the party on her way home. :)
Gotta water the flowers!!
My parents arrived after they had lunch with my sister, and I thought we coordinated pretty well. :)
Here's the official picture with Dad...
And here's how we usually look. This picture begs for a caption, doesn't it?
This is what happens when you tell kids to sit still and smile.
Ryan and his Grandpa Cox. These two men...I'm thankful for both of them!
Proof we were really there together!
It was a great day with fabulous food and a whole lotta fun!

Sounds like a wonderful day celebrating!
Great pictures of your family (not that I've ever seen a one of them, lol). I couldn't help but notice how GREEN all the plants look in the pictures. The picture with you and your sister for instance- nice pic of the two of you, btw- I can't tell if it's a garden or field in the background but I couldn't stop looking at it! The greenery caught my eye. And all the trees and the green grass visible in many of the pictures- all that rain served a purpose!!
Tamar - it sure was!
Maria - so funny you say that! I hadn't even realized how true it was until you pointed it out! I didn't boost the color on the photos, so it just really is that green! :) And that's a field behind Julie and me. Cornfield!! :)
I really like you in the hot pink top. You should definitely keep that as a part of your capsule wardrobe.
