Keepin’ up with the Joneses

We started with a party...

Then another party....

And topped it off with a fireworks show.

The next video and two pictures are just about my only evidence that Goodworth's were actually with us all these times!! I think you were ducking my camera.....

Two cute little chicas chillin' Next, we decided to have a reunion .... Again, the Goodworth's are nowhere to be found .... I took these pics right after we got there and got all set up but Wayne and Noell hadn't arrived yet. Unfortunately, after these shots, my camera never saw the light of day again at the reunion. What a cutie!

 Lovin' the shades Ali...

and Paul...

Who is that dashing young man?

You looked so well rested back then .... you had no idea what was in store eh??

I cherish this one ... even with the squishy nose, it's very rare that we get to actually see Dad's teeth when he smiles!

Was' up co' ?

This is a fabulous one of Mom too - a real smile!! Thanks for humoring me Thane!

This is my version of a birthday cake for Jaida's #3. Some may call it a cop-out cake? I call it E-A-S-Y!!

The birthday girl was happy ... that's all that counts, right?

We had our first day of school long before the rest of you guys were done summer-ing!

Everyone loves a parade, right?

Well, almost everyone....

everyone but Ali and Kathy and Dusty and Dakota....

and maybe dad

at least Mom was smiling!

 God bless the USA!

What a cute kid!

More fireworks ... the home version

And another parade ....

I can't believe I'm posting this ... when you live in a house full of girls - you make do with what you have, right? Poor kid!

What good buddies! We miss you Phoenix folks!

How sweet...

and last but not least, Carter's 2nd to last haircut of the summer ... (I gave the last one). Every time we grow it out, this is what happens. I guess he just gets too hot or something! Anyway, it was a great summer! So glad to have spent so much time with the fam!
