Amanda's Wedding

Mother and Sister of the bride helping the bride get ready! This is the only picture I have on my computer from the wedding, well I have a few more, but they are all of her getting ready. Amanda had a really great photographer so we didn't take many pictures, but that also means I don't have them on my computer, stinkin'. Amanda will you let me know if they are still available to view online and how to go about doing that? Anyway, it was a beautiful wedding, we are glad to have Jerry in the family, and his awesome son Sam who is just Patriot's age! Patriot Liberty and Sam had a great time together, we are so happy to finally have cousins on the Pyne side!

Birthday chocolate pie

Two big, yummy, chocolate pies for the triple birthday of Patriot, Uncle Aaron, and Great-grandpa Mrazek. Patriot and Liberty got to lick off the candles!

Birthday water fight!!!!

Aunt Amanda's (John's sister's) wedding was on Patriot's Birthday so we had a celebration the day before for Patriot's birthday, and for Uncle Aaron too whose birthday was on the fifteenth and for Great Grandpa Mrazek whose birthday was... uh-oh, the 21st? Help me out Grandma Pyne. We went to the dollar store and bought all kinds of water balloons and squirt guns for a water fight. Dad, Patriot, Liberty, Aunt Bekah, Uncle Ben, and Uncle Aaron, went all out and had a great time!

Patriot and Liberty playing a motorcycle video game at the Hinckle family fun center in New Mexico. They always have such a great time visiting their G&G Pyne, this time we stayed for a whole week and got to welcome a new uncle and cousin in to the fam!

Kim, (Addie's sister-in-law), got a great photographer who took pictures of everyone together, plus individual family pics. This was one of ours, and I love it, but maybe the teal t-shirts are a bit ...not great?

Here is everyone together, all eight kids, six spouses, and fifteen grandchildren. Oh, and our Matriarch and Patriarch of course!
