Grandma Wonderful's reunion party pics

Saturday, May 11, was Grandma Wonderful's reunion party!

It was held at her clubhouse (awesome memories there!!) and

Rachelle and the girls, as well as Jesse, and everyone else who helped

out did an AMAZING job putting it together!

I know for me and my fam, I haven't seen anyone in 2+ years, so

it was absolutely fantastic to see everyone who was there,

and to hang out, talk, play games... and carry out a Rook tourney.

-

That day happened to be Raini's actual birthday!! So Rachelle was thoughtful enough

to put together a little bday corner for her, with decorations and even gifts!

(Of course, this means that Raini thought the WHOLE party was all for her! haha)

It was so fun for her. She loved her birthday area, and she carried her gift bag around

all day and all night, not letting it out of her sight for one second! 

-

Strike a pose! ...With her princess gear ;)

-

A bit fuzzy, but this is Gram and her kids: Robyn, Sue, Wally, Rhonda,

Leslie and Grandma 

-

Charlie's Angels much?? 

-

Oh, I miss this guys so much! 

- 

Peli and Wubbs playing ball with their 1st cousins twice removed haha

(we had to study that one out...)

-

At one point, Raini arranged her gifts as seen below, then she got my camera

out of my purse and took this photo herself! She was proud. 

-

Raini also took this pic of Grandpa Lance, Joe and Peach

Another random shot by Rain-

Posing with her precious swag 

-

The boys basically never came inside! They played tennis, basketball,

hula hoops, and played in the "sandbox" (a sand v-ball court)

When it was almost time for us to leave, I glanced out the window and

snapped this shot of Peli. The kids were still playing, but he was taking

a break watching them. ...he was also getting tired... 

-

Candles! 

- 

-

So much fun! Hope we can do it again before next summer!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to my Dad today!

Plus, it was Dallas' birthday last Tuesday, and Kim's birthday yesterday!

Happy, happy birthdays all around ;)

Epeli's 7th Birthday part 1 ;)

Epeli's 7th birthday was so fun!!

Dan and Brittney Stewart helped us so much with soccer

games and athletic drills. It was a blast.

And a bunch of kids came!

-

Here's Jaden, Brett, Mohonrai, Dan, Brecken, Braxton, Aylie, Josh,

Leslie... doing a game.

-

There's Epeli up top, and Jessica and Weston at bottom. 

-

Angry Birds was kind of the theme (along with soccer!)

Here's the pinata... 

-

The table. Weather was nice, but it got windy right as we 

were getting started. There's grandma and gramps to the left, Suka

at the table, and Brittney at right. 

-

The Rainster.

Weston was all about pulling more balls out of the bag...

Epeli is 7 !!

Everyone says this. I know.

But I cannot... cannot believe that Epeli is seven today.

He was the best, sweetest, and funniest little one...

who crawled about 90 miles an hour, hair flapping in the breeze.

-

And now he's the best, sweetest, and funniest bigger one,

who does so well at school and sports, getting totally upset if he 

makes a mistake of any kind.

-

I'm so proud of him and love him tons!

and she wore it ALL DAY. Of course, the beer belly's way

to big to be held in...}

{At school, Peli drew this pic of when he was born,

my bones were light yellow and his were tan... haha

I hadn't even noticed!}

{Raini's been into makeup lately. Lots of makeup.

And usually it's fairly close to real looking... for a 3 year old...

but this day, it was all camouflage-y and I coulda made

it through the jungle without getting spotted.}
