Our "Friendly" BBQ

This weekend we hosted a "Family BBQ".  Coincidentally Emily's "Friend" who is a boy, was also in town.  So he was invited to come as well.  We also were lucky enough to have my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Jim come (they live in Syracuse as well), and my Aunt Sharon and Uncle Phil (they live in Clearfield).  Thanks you guys for coming too!

Here is Xander helping me peel potatoes for my Daddy's yummy dutch oven potatoes.

And here is Xander playing with his favorite little race track with his favorite Aunt Crystal.

My wonderful parents:

Emily and her friend Spencer

We had a little talent portion of our night.  These three (Uncle Phil, my Dad and Uncle Jim) ended up being our judges.  Just call them Paula, Randy and Simon (your choice for who is who).

My Aunt Joyce, Crystal and Jared.

Here is Westin and Chelsea

My mom and Aunt Sharon

For Westin's talent portion of the night, he made balloon animals (he makes some of the most AWESOME balloon animals I have EVER seen.  He made a monkey (below) a swordsman, flowers, a sword, and a very elaborate dragon).

Crystal played her viola


And Spencer and Crystal sang a song/played



Emily tried to name all the presidents in order in under 42 seconds.  She didn't quite get it, so I didn't upload the video (she went from Hoover to Reagon, oops).

Xanders favorite part of the night was holding a balloon full of air, letting all the air out of it.  



What a nut!!!
Thanks to everyone who came.  Fun times were had by all.  Emily we approve of your "friend"!

We had a great time. I love the video clips. I still think Spencer needs to play the prince on Snow White. What a cutie!

Crystal said...

so darn cute! I love the picture of spencer and emily laughing. And all the pictures of me look cute. You're such a great photographer!

Emily said...

I think that picture makes me look like a crazy person who is about to hurt someone. But I do think all the other pictures are very cute. Thanks so much Heidi for hosting a party. I had a great time. Good food, good laughs, amazing family. Couldn't be happier. I sure do love you!

Next time we are in town, we will have to crash Westin's house with a bunch of balloons. That would for sure get my winning vote.

Looks like you had fun, wish we were there, I'm reserving judgement on the friend however.
