life, love and laughter

i had so much fun this last weekend hanging out with family. one of my cousins came from minnesota with her daughter to visit us and we had a big family shin-dig. i just cannot express how blessed i am to be surrounded with such a great foundation. good food, lots of laughter, and just hanging out with the crazy bunch of people who are my relatives fills my heart with joy.

here is a glimse @ the crazies i'm related to. :o)

alright...this is interesting. the little blondie is my cousin. the brown haired beauty is my cousin's daughter and the other three are my niece and nephews. i bet one of the other people taking pictures got a better shot of them all looking...maybe. :o)
