The Wallworks are here

The other Wallworks that is.  That would be Glenn's little brother Mark, his wife Thira & their 4 sons.  All staying comfy cozy with us.  In our house.  In the rain.  7 kids in one house in the rain.  We had to get em' out so we headed to the hot tub.

The Wallworks & The Wallworks

Wallwork cousins aka the loudest, rowdiest kids in the world.

I just noticed there's a Roberts in there, (my sisters son)  These were taken after church today, left to right

Ladreal W. Nathan R. Lila, Ethan, Emry (my 3), Karm W. Landell W., Raith W.

St. Patricks day morning.  The kids awoke to a trail of golden chocolate coins leading them to a dining room  where a licorice rainbow treat and Lucky Charms awaited them.  I debated getting the sugar cereal and then I just thought I would throw caution to the wind and go for it.  I am so glad I did the kids loved the whole fun and excitement of celebrating.

Saturday night we had a barbecue so celebrate the other Wallworks being in town.  As usual I didn't get all the food because as soon as it was served we demolished it, but aren't these fruit platters lovely?

You don't expect a little something like rain to stop us from playing volleyball do you?

Mark & his boys  -  Glenn and our kids

Just had to show the progression of Glenn's face.  He can only stand so many pictures before he starts to lose it. 

We had 30 people here for dinner.  20 were kids.  We're pretty much masochists.

Way to show your home town pride Ladreal. 

My mom makes the best homemade caramel & chocolate sauce for sundaes.  One taste brings back so many memories of eating this growing up.  Jeannette & I were sitting next to each other eating our sundaes while literally being transported back in time.

I always get mad at people using their cell phone at my house since I am controlling and all (really it's because I am jealous and hope they'll teach me how to turn it on) but since Kylee was reading my blog I'll give her a pass this time.  Jeannette says she loves my blog and is a loyal reader.  Hey, Hey, Hey Kylee.  That's supposed to sound cool, not like Yogi Bear, it doesn't really translate, moving on..............

It rained all night last night and even hailed.  Hailed!!!!  I was surprised they didn't shut the city down, us Southern Californians aren't used to such frightening, dangerous weather.  Emry took this pic today.  Guess the Lucky Charms were a good call after all.

**To all my lovely blog friends who are hosted by Wordpress.  I love you & your blogs unfortunately I am irate with your host right now and can't communicate with any of you.  They have some (lame) new rules, maybe you've heard.  Hope to get the situation remedied soon.   -Marie
