Graduation party and yard sales

Together with Janet and Rodney, Justin and I threw a graduation party for Kayla and Gavin. Family and a few of their fellow graduates attended. But first, a picture of Grandma and Grandpa with the graduates...
I was real proud of Sloan for getting out of the "redneck" mode for a couple of hours, but it didn't last long....
We ordered 16 pizzas and 200 wings! Plenty left to divide up!

 The girls took the babies swimming....
 Kayla and Declan.....
 Ashton and Josh.....
 Kayla's friend, Caitlin and her son, Gabe.....






The balls I bought last week came in handy with the bouncy house....


Xander and Maxel played cornhole!

Josh toddled around stealing everybody's drinks!




Maxel enjoying a chicken wing....
 ....and talking with great-uncle Ed....

Declan caught a few catnaps......


Caitlin's son, Gabe, found a new "grandma"!
Boys arm wrestling...

Looks like a great party, and looks like everybody was having fun! Those little ones are surely entertainers! :) Love all your garage sale finds, too. The wall hanging for the bath is my fave this time around. :)
