It always seems so strange to me when I hear people complain about family and in-laws. I love mine dearly, and life is always more fun (and interesting, don't get me wrong) when they are around! This past weekend we had my Dad's retirement party, and all members of the family were present! First on Saturday we had the "Kid's Party" at Jeepers, or Jungle Jim's in Mesa. It was great. They had small rides, lots of token games to win tickets, and definately something for every age from the almost-two toddlers, to the 11 year old nephew, to the older and still childish uncles. (In fact, we had not been there for 10 minutes when Uncle Tyler (25) managed to 'accidentally' bounce a football off the game it was supposed to go into, and have it fly 15 feet higher in the air to shatter a light fixture and 2 long lights inside it.) Also, for the record I creamed both Dave and Tyler twice in the basketball shoot game! They also had pizza and salads that weren't half bad!
Then that night we had an adults only dinner party out at a beautiful BEAUTIFUL restaurant in Scottsdale called Lon's. We had "Cocktails" (Soda time) and appetizers on a beautiful private patio, then had a delicious 3 course dinner inside our own private room with a fire place and a gorgeous table for 14! We all toasted mom and dad, had lots of laughs, and a few tears as well. I don't know about everyone else, but I sure love my fam. I love the times when we can all be together, LONG LIVE FAMILY LOVE!

What a cute family! We always have the best things to say about you guys and were so sad when you moved away...
I really like your dress, very pretty.
How fun! My dad's retirement party was one of my favorite things ever!
Right on girl you look way hot and I love my inlaws too! I love them more than my own parents some times. You have a wonderful dad too!!!
I agree with all that was said and am glad that I did not have another "Hagrid" picture (at least it does not look that way from the ones you posted. By the way-Tyler is 26.
Isn't it nice having a fun family? Glad the retirement party was a success. Too bad he couldn't choose who to leave his book of business to! Hope you like "These Is My Words." I'll admit its hard to get into at first with lots of characters being introduced, but stick with it and I promise you'll love it!
how exciting that he finally retired. Congrats to him. Off to China now, I guess, right?
Sounds like a really good time! You look super great in these pics btw!
