More Wedding Details

Lauren wanted a few more details regarding the wedding. Especially about the naked men and broken bones. I didn't get to personally see completely naked men, but apparently Kyle had a streaking episode that was caught on video. He had a minor injury to his foot when he had to dive into a ditch to avoid the cops, or maybe he just fell down because he was drunk. I'm not sure. One of the groomsmen (Andy) wanted to make us think he was naked by partially exposing himself to Robbie and I from the loft of the house we were staying in. We were so excited. Shane had the possible broken bone. Again, I wasn't present to actually witness this incident, but apparently Shane tripped over part of a large wagon in the dark. There is some question as to whether he fell because he was shit face drunk, or if it was a legitimate accident. If I had to guess I would say probably a little of both. His thumb area swelled up like a balloon. I still don't know if he ever got it x-rayed or not. Robbie, Lisa and I witnessed a girl dirty dancing with her boyfriend and in an attempt at a squat manuever she ripped her pants from crotch to knee. Very classy. That however did not compare to the large girl at Shane and Dina's wedding that was doing some kind of humping thing on all fours across the dance floor. Kyle and Shane have some interesting friends.

Video Montage

I lied, I couldn't go to sleep till I got this video posted. I love it! I got a new video camera at Amanda's recommendation called a FLIP video. It's tiny like a camera and it records up to 1 hour of video. You can download it to your computer and the software is built right into the camcorder, then you can do fun stuff like this video. Enjoy the Godferrin Wedding video!

Kyle & Carrie's Wedding

What a great weekend. It had all the elements of the perfect wedding. Let's recap. There was hugging, lots of laughing, drinking, eating, crying, family drama, broken bones, more drinking, dancing, wardrobe malfunctions, forgetfulness, naked men, wet sheets, math, singing, falling down and then more laughing and drinking, arguing, stress, and only 2 bathrooms for around 10-12 people. It doesn't get any better than that. I'll elaborate more later, for now I have to catch up on my sleep. After all I'm 49 now, I need my rest. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery.

Good Times

Went to Paula's on Main St. tonight to celebrate Sarah passing her TEAS Test. Apparently at one point in time as an attempt to bribe her, I told her we would all go to Paula's if she passed her test. Who knew! I had to make good on my promise. We had a great time! Check out the photos in the Gallery.

Pictures of Labor Day Party

Click on the Photo Gallery link in the column on the right and go to the pictures of the Labor Day Party to view the fun. I noticed that in the pictures of the Kayak Race, no one is smiling but Bryan and I. Hummmmmm!

PS: A "bye" is when a player or team advances to the next round "without" playing due to uneven amount of players or teams. It doesn't mean that the team with the "bye" has to run around and get as tired as the teams that didn't have the "bye". Just FYI.

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to Lisa & Walt and Karl & Monica. I hope you have a wonderful day and many more happy days to come. Monica have you had the baby yet????? That would be a nice anniversary present. Diamonds are nice too.

Party Recap

Now I know why they call it Labor Day. I'm exhausted! I know I'm really tired when I can sleep through the night without waking up once, which is what I have done for the last 2 nights. It was worth it though. I think the party was a success. The weather was perfect and the food was great! We had a scavenger hunt for leaves and plants. More people participated in that than I thought would, so that was great. I wanted to get people to get out and explore the property because it is so pretty. I think Joe really got into it too. He's the resident plant and tree expert. I moved the site of the picnic set up to an area where the old house used to be. It was a lot better because there was natural shade and it was much more comfortable than sitting under tents around the house. The guys did some clay pigeon shooting. I saw Sarah try, but I didn't see any other girls try. The boys were showing off, however, no one shot a dragonfly out of the air like Kyle did last year. I may have people bring their own shells next year, its a pretty popular event and ammo is expensive. Anyone planning on shooting more than 10 rounds has to bring their own shells. I think that's fair. I know that most of the guys did bring their own, but without naming names, some people didn't bring any. Moving on to the Kayak Race. Well........Bryan and I won again. Yah us! We have to pat ourselves on the back because everyone else hates us. Bryan paddled in for the win and there was dead silence. No one clapped, and I'm not sure but I think someone groaned. Talk about a bitter sweet victory. I know what Michael Phelps felt like when one of his former competitors said there was no way he would win 8 gold metals. When he did, that guy didn't even smile. Don't be a winner hater! Bryan and I can't help that we are superior athletes. It's not like there weren't other teams that had strong competitors. What about Bob and Chrissy. They are young and athletic. They just weren't up to the challenge. Sarah and Tyler were another strong pair. They tanked too. Actually Sarah should have been disqualified because she didn't wear a life jacket after Joe actually handed her one. (Don't deny it.) So in an effort to appease all of the winner haters, next year we will draw names for teams. No one gets to choose who they will be with. When I win next year, there better be clapping. After all it will be my Birthday. By the way, one of the reasons Bryan and I raced together was because I knew that otherwise we would be arguing and fighting about the rules and who did what to who. If he was on my team I knew we wouldn't argue. I was trying to spare everyone the misery of listening to that. So next year when it starts, don't say I didn't warn you. Bryan and I may be just a tad competitive.
As usual I didn't take enough pictures. All of the grand kids were there and I didn't get a picture of them together. We have yet to get a picture with all of them. Maybe next year. Bryan, Brad, Jim, Julian and I spent the night at the farm. Bryan,Brad and Jim were supposed to camp. Brad was the only "big boy." He actually camped. Jim and Bryan came in the house around 3am and slept. Sarah didn't really want Julian to camp out, especially being around the routy guys. I wasn't sure how we were going to convince him that it would be more fun to sleep inside with Nanu. All it took was the coyotes howling once and he was ready to go inside. I fixed breakfast over the campfire the next morning, and after the guys helped me put stuff away they went home and I stayed till around 5pm and finished cleaning. I'm already planning for next year. Anyone know a good banjo player?

Dog Days of Summer

Too Long since my last post. I was busy organizing for the party, then cleaning up after the party. Plus, grandma's been sick, but I think she is feeling a little better. Electrical work, chickens, bunnies, babysitting, cleaning, the list is endless just like everyone's. I have to take a nap though and catch up on my sleep so I will be refreshed to tell you all about the Labor Day Party.
