Our Family 4th of July

Things didn't get off to a very good start. My brother called to tell me he wasn't feeling well and may not be able to "Run" the party. I told him to gut it up because we were coming!

I also told him to get that ridiculous sign out of his front yard I was bringing friends and didn't want them to think we are tacky. Besides that....

I knew his dogs could patrol the area and they would let us know if their were any problems.

We had such a good time hot tubbing.....

I hate when cousin Sheila shows up.

And her daughters.

We swam for hours. I loved that we got to see relatives we hadn't really kept in touch with.

We couldn't pick Sandra up until her community service was over. What a drag.

Oh yeah we did go mud- ridin!! Billy is all business up front but in the back, you know it's a party!

These two are jerks. I just wish they would have stayed home.

I was so happy mom could make it!!

Frank is just the sweetest thing.

His wife on the other hand, well she's a witch, she thinks she's a princess. Honest she wears that hat everywhere! Plus she thinks she is sooooo sexy. Look at aunt Bertha giving her the evil eye.

Here I am with all my girl cousins.

I am just glad my brother was kind enough to let us into his home and enjoy each others company for awhile. He did feel much better by the end of the day. Hope you all had a great 4th!!
