Family Weekend

Last weekend my brother Greg, his wife Echo and son Sean came for a visit. Brother Dave happened to be in town on business and extended his trip for the weekend. We had a great family visit, and with sister Karen a half mile away, 4 out of 5 kids were all together for a few days. Highlights of the weekend included steak night at our house, enchilada and bounce house night at the Bittners, Filippi's pizza night back at our house, opening day for Owen's T-ball season, Madeline losing her second tooth and plenty of fun crammed in between. We also celebrated Sean's 22nd birthday a week early, plus had 2 other birthday parties to attend. Somehow I didn't manage to take a single picture with everyone... and didn't even get any of Greg, Mom or Dave. Pictured here is Echo, Sean and Andy. A good time was had by all. We missed you Dale!





Sean turns 22 on Sunday, March 8th.
A good reason to have cake!







Unfortunately, the night at the Bittners turned ugly when
nephew Owen and friend Tyler decided to fist fight. It didn't help that we all wagered on the outcome.








Rose and her crew from school at Laci's 5th birthday party. (L-R Kendall, Laci, Rose, Haleigh and Halle.) Rose and David giving the pinata the what-for.






Joey waiting in the beer line at friend Tate's 1st birthday party. I know, I was pleasantly surprised they had a keg there too!


















Madeline and her toothless grin. This was about 2 weeks ago after her 1st lost tooth. And FYI, the Tooth Fairy pays $2 per tooth these days.
