We had a little get together last weekend...
Our family, extended family and friends (about 20 of us!)
gathered for a little get together to celebrate 8th grade graduation

We laughed...
A LOT.
We are a wild bunch~ I tell you.
Not a dull moment when you get a few of us together.

We talked about old family stories...
and we talked about some new stories that came to light that we weren't aware of.
As I said... never a dull moment.

Though I took a bunch of photos not everyone was so sure about being on my blog
so sharing just a couple photos of the day
My oldest son Ryan and girlfriend Cassie
Also, a little something extra special too
a certain young man celebrated his birthday recently too...
How many babies do you know that are born ON their due dates?
Who decide to let you sleep all night long and wake up in the morning feeling
as refreshed as you can feel when you are 9 months pregnant
before announcing it was the day of his arrival?

Cully is my little blondie boy who ran around charming me everyday when he was little with
his chubby cheeks, his funny phrases and his absolute sweetness
and he has grown into such a wonderful young man who I am so proud of.
and yes,
he LOVES cake just as much now too!
:)
See you soon for a little burlap love post!
