Sept 27, 2014: 106 people in our backyard along with a 90 lb pig named “Elvira” and 3 extra pork shoulders. Two 30 something businessmen waking up at an ungodly hour of the day to play barbecue chef. Those same men forgetting how to start a fire for about 30 minutes. Distance travelers from Ohio, my Aunt and Uncle, Debbie and Allen Smith; Virginia, The Newton family; and Kansas, Jason Morris. Perfect weather, 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Tons of kiddos with bubbles, corn hole, basketballs, soccer balls, paper airplanes, and lots of giggles. Tons of family, wonderful friends, great neighbors, barbecue, potluck sides, and a dessert buffet – does a fall Saturday get any better?!

Baby William fell asleep on the swing – so sweet! We’ve had enough for one year and can’t wait for 2015!
Thanks to Grandpa Wolford for all the pictures 🙂
