Anything But Gray

My Auntie & me. This was the birthday girl! 🙂 I cannot believe she is 60! Time just flies…..

This is me, my cousin Carolyn and my cousin Stephanie. I think Stephanie looks so much like my mom, it's the eyes. And you can't quite see it in this pic…but I swear, looking at her is like looking at my mom. It's cool.

 

Me and my cousin Joey. I just adore him.

Gabby girl, Jaime and Amanda (Joey & Loopy's daughter) Amanda and Jaime played and played and they got along FABULOUSLY! At one point they both come running over to me and Zak and Jaime exclaims "I have a new friend, this is my new friend!" And Amanda is beside her, nodding in agreement. I look at Jaime and lower my voice, for effect and say "Jaime, did you know that your new friend is actually your cousin?" Her jaw drops and both her and Amanda start jumping up and down, holding hands and singing "We're cousins, we're cousins!" It was the cutest thing! lol

Cute pic of Jaime.

Us. Ben wouldn't get in the picture, so we made him. lol.

Last but not least, the whole clan.  🙂

I love these reunions and I hope we do them more. It's really nice to catch up and see everyone. A couple of people couldn't make it and that was a bummer but it was great to see everyone that I did see. It was REALLY a bummer that my mom couldn't be there, but hopefully she'll move here soon and she'll never miss one again!

My mother's second husband was there (because when he and my mom divorced, he went on to marry my mother's cousin) and it was actually really, really good to see him. He asked for my number and I gave it to him and to be honest, I'm actually hoping he calls. We were pretty close when my mom and him were married and it would be nice to get back in touch with him. I'd like it. We'll see. 🙂

And Zak's bday without Ceci was HARD and I was thankful for the distraction of the reunion. Zak and Ceci's birthday is just always about me and Ceci planning and running around and doing stuff for it that it felt really weird this year. I just really missed her and it wasn't the same without her. I don't think it ever will be. Which, when you are married and best friend's with twins, I guess that's to be expected, to an extent. lol.

Another crazy busy day for me. I have to do bills, take a shower, take care of my plant, take care of the kids, make a few phone calls, have dinner, go up to Shelly's tonight  and then I want to call Kim on my way home. BUSY!!!

Enjoy the pics!
