Misc July pictures

Ran across a bunch of miscellaneous pictures from July and thought I'd Post:

Rebecca got to go with her friend, Hope to Dollywood.   Thought this was cute!

While waiting to pick up Rebecca one day, this is what my thermometer read in the car!!!

Julianna and Angela are twinkies!

We Sheri & David for dinner in Nashville and had such a great visit.  It's a shame we live so close and don't get together more often!

Check out that chocolate cake!!!

Rebecca and Jaylin decided to try a recipe in the American Girl magazine.  

Mini ice cream scoops - they were so cute!

The "Word of Life" Hamburger
Matthew & I led the Wednesday night kid's group and walked through the wordless Book of Life but tried new creative things.  These "Hamburgers" are awesome - look just like it, but it's an Oreo, icing, coconut and vanilla wafers!!

Some of the kids with their keychains

Enjoying their burgers!

Julianna and a few of her friends

A PEO served us this amazing lunch and it was so yummy that I took a picture of it so I wouldn't forget all of the yummy ingredients she put on it.

Blair Family Reunion

The Blair family decided it had been way too long since everyone had gotten together, so they planned a Blair Family Reunion in Clayton Georgia in July.  Mom talked me into going so Mom, Papa, the kids and me piled into the Yukon and headed to GA.  We actually made a pit stop along the way and dropped Rebecca off with her Gigi to spend a couple of girl days together at the lake.  Then we headed on.  

We had a great time together and a wonderful long, full day at the state park in Clayton.  There were over 50 people there, which was very exciting, and already a date has been set for next year.  Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure!!!

Reserved just for us!

Tom's side of the family (it's much bigger but these are the ones who could be there!)

Our photographer

Thought this was cute - at dinner at the Mexican restaurant when we arrived, Julianna was freezing so we got creative with an extra napkin!!

Christian loved finding our hotel in the view finder!

Had a problem with my vehicle before we left on Sunday and Mom was a trooper in helping me out.  Found a great mechanic who came and fixed some bearings that went out.

Out of order, but here's the best we could do on a big group picture!!

Best part of the weekend!!!

Let me say there was a bit of excitement on some of the lady's part that David would be attending over the weekend.  So with some encouraging, we had a photo session with the ladies and David.

Even Crissy got in on the action!

Blakesly is just beside herself!

Whoo-hoo

Well, the boys couldn't be left out!

And this one is awesome!!!

Poor Mitchell Couldn't stand it so he got in on some of the action.  What a fun weekend this was!

Rock Jumping

We took the kids and the boat over to a place where you can do some rocking jumping.  Let's just say this is the small rock!  But the kids had fun and even Julianna and I jumped in together!  That didn't get captured on camera, but we got a few of the other kids!

Blakesly, Christian & Mitch getting read

There they go!

Brett is figuring out how to get the girls down - I think one refused to jump!

Look carefully and you can see Mitch flipping on his way down!

Miscellaneous Pictures from the weekend
