Lester's Party

Ok, So I know that these are weird pictures for the party we had, but it was the only time that I pulled out the camera during the night.

We started the night off catching up with family and meeting Jane. I talked with Jolene about how her family is doing and then what we have been up to; all the while Lester was at the house waiting for more people to show up. I think he wanted to make a grand entrance. I had seen Lester pull up and go hang out with mortimer. I told mom that he was there, so she went out to find him, and then didn't come up for about another 20 min. They came up the stairs one at a time and he introduced Jane to every one. She seemed like such a cute girl, friendly but abviously nervous, which, I would be too.

The family came in; Delmar said hi and asked Lester, " was it you that I need to get back at, or was it Jackson, I can't remember." Then we laughed and Lester said that it was Jackson that de-pants'd him in the hot springs. He explained to story to Jane and we went on. That story always comes up every time we get together.

We ate spicy BBQ ribs, fruit salad, coleslaw, baked beans, macaroni salad, and chips. We were looking forward to the ribs all week. I made the rub and sauce for it on Wednesday and Mom and Dad cooked them up on Thursday. Mom said that she put the rub then dad came in after and just poured the rub over them thinking there was just not enough. It was made and came out very spicy I could only eat a couple of them. I guess I needed to watch what I was eating any ways.

Mom it is ok though. I am sure that you will have another chance to make them and they will be as good as they were the first time. FYI: do not pour rub on, rub the rub on lightly. Tastes better that way.

Lester was very talkative with everyone trying to make the focus not be on Jane too much. I guess she really isn't into parties much. He also would eat some food beside Jane then go upstairs and eat a whole bunch more so that she wouldn't see. I think he got his fair share. It was funny.

Joelle, her husband, Lester and Jane played this human rubber band game that was pretty funny to watch. It didn't last too long because the material was too long and it wouldn't fling them around correctly. Nice try though.

We then played hokie 6. For those of you who don't know the game, it is played just like nerds. I really enjoy it and I guess Janes family is really into nerds. Yah, I will have some one to play cards with. I love playing cards. Mom and Dad tryed playing with us and a normally fast paced game turned into a very slow game .

Everyone started leaving and then finally Corin and Cory showed up. They were in charge of the dessert and brought cookies and key lime pie. It was good but we all had to give it up for them because what else could we expect. We know that they are like that and it just doesn't matter any more. Hey they are family.

The pictures are of Miah crawling through the doggy door. I kept trying to keep Miah in the house because she wouldn't stop getting into things outside and we needed to clean up.

It never fails. Every time we go to grandma and grandpas house they do not leave with out becoming soaking wet at least once and riding the four wheeler.

It was a good night over all. We had some laughs, saw family we hadn't seen for a while and met Jane who will be joining our family in the not to distant future.

A great Thursday BBQ
