Landscape Party!

As a Fathers Day present to Clyde (my father-in-law), Mike and all his siblings decided we would gather on a Saturday and finish the landscape project for the front and backyard of Clyde and Norma's house. There were 12 Adults and 8 children (not to mention 2 children on the way!) Here are some of the highlights.

Here is "Uncle Mike" holding our youngest neice, Halle. She was facinated by the hair on his arms - I can't believe we got her to look at the camera!

Of course we brought Remi along for the fun and he kept following our neice Kylee around. We thought it was pretty funny, she was trying to get away and it looked to me like he wanted to play tag with her.
April was swinging with Halle and she liked it so much, she fell asleep. I thought this picture was pretty cute (and Mike was proud that I got a picture of April)

Here is the chaos of mulitple children wanting to get in the hot tub and play. No one except me and Mike seemed to think this was funny, but we were laughing pretty hard.

And here is what happens when you ask Mike to spend all day doing yard work. I also love that Remi just thinks it was time to lay down.

It was a fun day and it was good to see everyone. Kylee let me hold her AND jump on the tramp with her!! This was a first for us and I am very excited! (too bad there is no picture to prove it!)

And Keri made this awesome dip that I couldn't stop eating and I retained enough water for the next two days to prove THAT ............even if the soy sauce is low sodium.....I still shouldn't eat a whole dip myself. I want that recipe after the water flushes out of my system....

It was a very happy day for me. I loved getting all that work done, without breaking Clyde's back and seeing everyone at the same time. I love that you got the rare picture of April and must agree that we need your dip recipe. Between that and the horrible dip, I could hardle waddle when we were through. Thanks, everyone, we love you!

I want some of that dip. Please make some and bring it over. Now.

Look how lazy Mike is. Man, did he even help at all?

THANK YOU FOR THE DRESSES!! Oh they are all so cute. Charlotte's fit her and Victoria--let's be honest, I haven't even tried. I'm waiting for a good opportunity. But Charlotte just loves her dresses and she kept trying to make the striped one a strapless dress. Oh no.

I can't believe I missed that hot tub scene! No wonder the kids love Grandma's house so much. I would have been laughing along with you and Mike.
