Labor Day

This post is way over-due, but I don't want to NOT post it. The pictures are out of order and they don't even come close to covering the amount of insanity and fun that we had that weekend. It has become a tradition in recent years for Labor Day to be a Spencer/Green extravaganza! Dee and Susan are some of my parents' very very best friends and though we never lived in the same town, we grew up vacationing and visiting each other. They are the best of the best and its SO FUN that now our kids are getting to grow up and play together like we did. We missed Matthew and Jessica and their 2 little ones....maybe next year.

Here goes.....

Me and Nolan after his bath

Dad with his grandsons...minus Quinn. Clay and Maurine still can't seem to come up with any children to contribute to the grandson pictures! :)
Eating out on the driveway Saturday night. Notice Kanyon stealing Avery's food. ALl the other kids got up to go play and he was still scooting down the row eating off every one's plate. YEAH FOR THE EATER!!! We were all cracking up as we were have to tell Kanyon....KANYON the boy who hated eating, to stop eating other people's food!

There were LOTS of mule rides

Lots of SMILES!!
Quinn is an art prodigy.



Even the best artist have to stop and take a rest. Thank you to sweet cousin Landry for the love.

This is Eric and Amber's son Easton. He and Quinn will probably be roommates in college. For sure.

We spent most of the day Saturday out at the lake at the land. It was a perfectly gorgeous day!

Yummy watermelon!
Eat up Kan man!! He LOVED it! At this point, he'd only been eating for maybe a week. How's that for a "meal" Cheetos and watermelon out of a pie pan. Whatev.
Paw Paw taking Aelyn, Landry, and Avery for a ride
klp headed for the jet skis. Notice his scoot mark tracks. I just love it.

out of order.....klp chowing down he ate TONS of watermelon!

I think this was his first jet ski ride
Remember Quinn the artist? He doesn't just draw, he is in to sculpture too. Sand sculpture especially.

KLP took klp for a spin on the tube.
This pic cracked me up. klp looks like a grown man.
There was fishing back at the house on Sunday night....lots of perch catching!
More Mule rides!
The weekend was a whirlwind of laughing, crying kids, nursing babies, diapers, fits, holding each others' kids, visiting, catching up, eating, and overall insanity! It was so great. So much fun! We are so glad Dee and Susan and Eric and Amber (with 3 young kids!!) made the LONG LONG drive from Childress!!!!

Here is the "kids" The parents being my parents and Dee and Susan:

Luke and Katie (Norah and Elliot) Dean....not Spencers or Greens, but we love having them!

Adam and Doodle (Caden and Tate), Eric and Amber (Aelyn, Auburn, Easton), Clint and Rachel (Roselyn, Nolan), Me and Kory (k and q), Clay and Maurine (Avery, Landry, Mallory). Yes, thats 14 kids and the OLDEST was Aelyn who just turned 4. WOW. The kids really did do great!
This moment was SOOOOOO "this weekend". We were trying to take the group picture and all of a sudden, Caden decided to spit out all of his goldfish into Adam's hand.....nice.
