A Few Reunion Items

This is me, keeping a positive attitude (sometime it's hard to do....)

Okay, so I've been going over the family reunion budget and I've hit a road block. Everyone (except Mom and Dad) have been asked to pay $50, all together that is $300. The family pictures are costing us $80 and the t-shirts will be about $170 ($5 a person). That's $250 just for those two things. Melissa is also doing a family DVD and I'm thinking they will be a few dollars each, so like $15. That makes $265. That only leaves us $35 for everything else. So, this is what I am proposing: everyone can bring stuff that we will need. I can post a list of things we will need (for example, prizes for Bingo) and everyone can sign up for what they can bring. You don't need to feel obligated, but I think it would really help if we all could do something. How does that sound? Either that or we can not do prizes for games, or everyone can pay me more money. It's your choice....
Also, last night at Mom's, we (Rice's, Hill's, S. DeLong's and Padres) were talking about the t-shirts for the reunion. I need to make sure we put everyone in age order correctly (it's for the shirts, don't worry about it). So, please check this and let me know if we made any errors:

In all reality, Jane does Tap Dance and does it quite well I might add. She and Kate have their dance recital at Kingsbury Hall in a couple of weeks. Kate has opted out of dance for next year, while Jane asked to take the summer session and do a more intensive program next school year. So next year Kate will be doing some sports (and I'm requiring an instrument or singing) and Jane will be doing Jazz, Ballet, Tap, and Tumbling. She also wants to take Voice Lessons. I'm telling you, getting

Family Reunion T-Shirts

I am starting to get things organized for the reunion, which is coming faster than I can believe, and I need to know t-shirt sizes. Every person will be getting a t-shirt, whether you want one or not. So, I need to know everyone's t-shirt size. Please email me with your families shirt size. Please do this asap so that Emily and I can get the shirts rolling. Thanks. This reunion is going to be super awesome!!

What will he think of next?

I went to visit the parents today, I know you're all thinking "Renee, visiting the parents? how strange", and while there I noticed something different in the driveway. Evidently crawling under a car is too much work. Tipping one over is much easier. So, as if our parents weren't weird enough, they now have this sitting in their driveway. And we call the neighbors the Clampets? Lets see, dad plays the banjo, loves to sit by a fire, has this car in his driveway, and wears a lot of denim. Dad, I think you are Joe Clampet!

Swimming at Grandpa's

Last week I decided that BooBoo and I would go swimming. She loved it a lot! We swam for about 1 1/2 hours. Gracie decided to join us for a little while, but was a little unsure about the whole thing. I love that Isabel loves the water. She could spend all day in a pool, or bath. She's just like her mom, a water baby.

Happy Mothers Day Mom - You really are the best!
