Barbecue

The barbecue was the icing on the cake for the weekend so to speak. It was going to be held at Larry and Velma's, but we had such a great turnout that Lorne and I offered to rent the Community Center next door. That worked out really well and I think that everyone had a good time. Larry barbecued the brisket, Mrs. Ellen made the beans, Mom brought the potato salad and barbecue sauce, and Aunt Faye made the cake. It was all so delicious!


Aunt Faye made a half chocolate, half vanilla cake. It was so good! I ate way more than I should have but I just couldn't help myself!


Aunt Faye and the little man.


Velma had her kids at church decorate the tablecloths. They did a great job!


Sawyer and The Godfather. :)


Sawyer with The Godmother.


Lorie spent an entire weekend away from her family so that she could spend it with us. That means a lot to me! It was also her third weekend to travel in the month of July!


Lorne's cousins Darve, Trask, and Shawn. Darve's website is Dad's Cavern which I have a link to on Aggiefamily. Check it out sometime!


Jason, Tara, and their son Nolan. Tara is due any day now. Lorne and Jason worked together at A&M and Tara and I are both Class of 1999 from A&M. We've all kept in touch over the years.


The sixth anniversary gift is iron so I bought the supplies and Dad made Lorne this golf club. Lorne bought me a really nice set of Kitchen Aid knives.


Great Aunt Net was very patient and it finally paid off. She got some well-deserved Sawyer time.


I didn't get a picture of Great Uncle Greg when they came to the house so I wanted to post one here.


The happy couple Matthew and Jackie. We all love Jackie. It's like she's been in our family for years!


Tyron, Lorne, and the cousins with Trask's son Hayden in the Smith's backyard. There's no mistaking that this group is closely related; they're all equally GOOFY!! :)
