Alyssa gives mommy Sharyl a smooch. Priester's came down from Grand Island, Nebraska for the weekend.

Twas a little chilly for swimmin' ... unless you are a kid, of course, then it was PERFECT.

My Uncle Bill, my mom's cousin Jody and Jody's husband Don. Bill, his wife (Jan) and their two girls (Nikkie and Michele) all came down from Omaha JUST for the weekend; it was great to see them!! Don & Jody live in the greater DFW area - although I didn't "find" them until we'd lived here a few years!

Mmmmm ... Mary Cake!

The Webers - I work with Doreen. Does she not have the CUTEST familiy EVER?? She's got two more little boys who are just as cute as this one.

Kim the Cleaning Lady (and a good friend) holds court in our backyard.

My coworkers ... probably laughing at Mack.

Mack, the "nice" picture.

The food! And boy was there lots of it.

Skip's mom DiAnn enjoying some food in the back yard.

Angie (aka Cooky) spending some time with Katie over some BBQ.

Our college friend Shawn ... who changed clothes more than once during our party. He brought a whole bunch of t-shirts from our dorm days, including this one from "Schramm Cram" - where we tried to fit hundreds of people into a single dorm room. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time?!?

Katie & Mommy - tuckered out.

With Kent & Ronda - who came in for the weekend as well, and since they didn't leave until Monday we got to spend Sunday with them.
