The Non-Camping Weekend

We were supposed to go camping this weekend with Matt and Melanie, but when the weather people forecasted rain and cold, we opted to stay home. (Of course, as I sit here and type this on Saturday afternoon, it's beautiful outside and sunny! Go figure.) Matt and Melanie had everyone out Friday night for a BYOM night...Bring Your Own Meat. We grilled out and then played games. It was fun and crazy with all the kids running around. Josh and Janna left their kids at home (smart!!) but the rest of them were there. We played Cranium and Hilarium.

Janna and Melanie shooting the breeze. I'm sure they are talking about their favorite homemade recipes and how to make things from scratch!

The Boys: Levi, Pierce & Corbin
Matt started a fire in the fire pit and the boys played outside while the food was cooking on the grill.

Gretchen, Eric & Janna snacking on chips

Newlyweds Donnie & Amanda arrived and got to watch all kids running around being wild. Think they'll wait to have kids?? LOL

Hopie is finishing off her hamburger (and looking quite cute while doing it!)

Janna, seriously...are you texting again?

The food was awesome and I think Melanie got full by the time brownies came around! :)

Eric & Levi are playing ping pong...well, actually, Eric is playing and Levi is enjoying the ride!

Levi and Pierce in an intense game of air hockey...

Corbin is trying to help Pierce play air hockey...or is he trying to eat the puck?

After a fall off the chair onto his noggin, Corbin was content to watch Nemo. He sat there for an hour without making a peep!! Adorable!

Gretchen...give it up! Everyone you text is at the party!

Levi, Corbin and Hope watching Nemo

What the ....??

Does anyone dare me to print this out and hang it up in the choir room?

Levi is helping Mommy play Cranium...kind of.

And, last, but not least are the 'hilarious' pictures of Janna, Matt, Josh and Paul playing Hilarium. They were so loud that they were scaring the kids so we made them go upstairs and play! LOL
