Oh Yeah Another Cookout

Labor Day...

We spent the day out at Candace/Brian's house. She wanted to have a cookout, but it turned into a bakeout. She was fixing chicken and wanted to grill it. Well she cleaned the grill and couldn't remember how some of the peices went back on. So she decided to bake the chicken instead and it was just as good. She didn't want to see what happened the last time she cooked out on the grill. The whole grill caught fire. She made baked beans, corn, potatoe salad (not mine), veggies and fruit. Tabetha brought the left over deserts from her cookout that was on Saturday. Nothing got wasted and it's always better the second time around.

Adrian was the first one to come and meet us in the driveway. He had been waiting on Jeremy for awhile. Tyla went with us and of course Ashlynn was keeping track of her. Jeremy and Tyla took Adrian, Ashylnn, Alden and Jasmynn down to the creek. They were just exploring around in the water. Jeremy found a piece of snake skin and some acorns.

This is a Live-4-ever blooming. It had bees all over them last year and this year Candace transplanted them away from the house. The are now covered in butterflies. I bet there was a butterfly on each of the blooms.

Grandma Sandy came out, Patsy and Joe were there too.
Played a couple games of cornhold and then there was a New game this time, it was kickball

Last time we played volleyball. It was just as good. Boys against the girls and there were more girls then boys. The boys won 2 games to nothing. But they had fun and I think everyone was involved. From the players to the audience. LOL the boys were really kicking it hard and it was going over the girls head. Even when the ball came right to them they still couldn't catch it. They were arguing about the score, argueing about the rules, boundries were outrageous. But it was still fun to watch.

Alden was showing Jasmynn how to fish. These two were so much to fun to watch. They would get soooo excited over catching a little blue gill. OH OH OH then HEHEHE then it was followed by help me papaw. The fish weren't bitting today, but the blue gills.

I guess the plan for the day was to dunk JoAnn in the pool. Well, they tried. Tried 3 different times. She kept bouncing off the side, they never did get her in the pool. I think Daniel finally was helping and instead got Candace in the pool. She had a nice black summer dress on before they started playing kickball, she went in to change. Told Candace she couldn't wear a black bra with a white tank top, especially when wet. LOL

Well until next time, hope all is well and safe...

Tabeth/Daniel's Cookout

Here we go!
On our way to Tabetha/Daniel's house for a cookout.
Tyla went with us. We left around 4:00pm cause Scott was bored and ready to go. The cookout didn't start until 5:30pm. So we are a little early, oh well... Even the host/hostess weren't even there. They had left to pick up some last minute things and was getting ice. The only one home was Max and he couldn't let us in and I couldn't let him out. He was going nuts, barking. I brought him some rawhide treats, that I had had for about a month. Stacey had given them to me for Max cause her dog only get the big huge bones. Oh well, Max loves them, thanks Stacey.

Everyone came. Aunt Lisa and DeAndrea, with a friend of his. Grandma Sandy, Grandpa Mike, Candace/Brian, JoAnn, Ray and all the grandkids, Alden, Ashlynn, Adrian, and Jazmynn. I didn't see Ashlynn for about half hour after she arrived, cause she loves Tyla. Daniel's dad, Dan and Jo came and even a few of Tabetha/Daniel's friends came. I am not good with names so I can't name them all off. I know there was a girl named Abby, she just had a baby 8/9 days ago, and her husband. The best man from the wedding and someone remembered me from the wedding as the HulaHoop Queen, with a close second by the Daniel(the groom). He said who could forget that hip action.

We had hamburgers, brauts, hotdogs, chips, baked beans, Mac/cheese, corn, rolls, chips, cookies, brownies, Banana Nut bread, some sort of pie, fruit, veggies, drinks, just about everything you could think of we had. Me and Tabetha were making her a list together.

Alden had to sit by Papaw while they ate. He loves his papaw.

Jeremy and Tyla took all the kids to the park for the longest time. But it was nice and we knew where they were. Played cornhole, and the kids played what was suppose to be touch football (at least no one got hurt).

We have another cookout on Monday out at Candace/Brian's in Brownsburg...

Until the next time, hope all is well and safe...

The secret is out

Well it's not a secrete any more...

This little girl is my adopted grandchild, Jazmynn. She is Brian's sister Karen, little girl. JoAnn, (which is Brian and Karen's mother) is taking care of her at this time. She has been taking care of this little girl for a year now. Karen gave her up, to her mother. She couldn't take care of her, nor did she want to. Candace and Brian tried to adopt her from Karen, but she didn't let that happen and Jazmynn was taken away from us. I had not seen her since July/August of 2009. Candace/Brian and the kids all went to Florida to see her (that is where she was living) back in February.

But the first of August they came back to Indiana. I was so happy and anxious to see her. The day they came back in to town I had to drive out to see her and JoAnn, and of course all my grandbabies. I'm always glad to see them. Alden, Ashlynn and Adrian were swimming when I arrived, so they didn't even know that I was there. After about 1/2 hour they came to the door to get a towel, and I gave it to them. They were so surprised to see me. Started yelling Mamaw, mamaw. Even Snap the dog didn't know I was there. Alden wanted to know where Papaw was, I told him he was at home, that he didn't want to come out this time. Alden told me to go get Papaw... He loves his Papaw...

No one was to know that they were in town, due to the fact that Karen was trying to get Jazmynn back and she would try anything. We didn't want anything to happen to Jazmynn so we kept it a secret for awhile. BUT she does know and is threatening the family with kidnapping. She is really out of her mind. JoAnn has papers to prove her having custody of Jasmynn until CERTAIN TERMS were met. Those terms were never kept by Karen. She needs to be placed with someone she knows, someone she can trust, someone who's FAMILY, someone she LOVES and they LOVE her back = Candace/Brian and the kids...

Until next time... hope all is well and be safe...
