Mother's Day BBQ

Happy Mother's Day! Thanks to everyone for coming to our home and providing lots of fun. I think we had about 25 people in and out throughout the afternoon. Nate and Bre joined us from San Jose. Aunt Linnea, CQ, and Elani came in from Sacramento. A special thanks to Dave and Brandi for bringing baby Riley over so the Iverson girls could get their baby fix in. The weather was just about perfect, plenty of sun and a light breeze. The slip'n'slide, kiddy pools, and water balloons kept the kids busy the whole time. Thanks to Linnea for letting us ambush her with water balloons. It was hilarious to see Nate wipe out on the wet lawn while Nea chased him with water bottles. We also found out Alyse and Tim can throw a mean horseshoe, while Larry and Seth are a danger to fences and landscaping.

Nate and Mickaela toss the shoes


Aloryn, CQ, Elani, and Nicholas test out the slide


A conversation with my mother will drive even the strongest to drink. (Bre claims she is protecting my Corona from Aloryn. I told her it was safe since Aloryn prefers Newcastle)


Grandpa Larry and Tim talk about the good ol' days when they played sports in high school with no pads and better referees.


GrandBob and Uncle Nate dodge shrapnel as Lelly tells them how delicious dessert is.


"Cooooookie...yum, yum, yum, yum, yum"
