Pryor 80th Birthday

My mom's side of the family, the Pryors, celebrated my grandma's and grandpa's 80th birthday. We had a nice dinner and had a great time together at Jonathan Byrd's in Greenwood.



The family pitched in and came up with some really special gifts for them. Our cousin, Stephanie, put together a really cute book with all the grandkids' pictures and things we admire about each of them. Some of the aunts put together a scrapbook of letters to my grandparents from each family member. They have lots of reading (and crying) to do this summer!



On top of all that we presented them with $1,200 cash!! Don't spend it all in one place :)



Wes even put together a little keepsake for my grandpa. Since Grandpa used to drive a truck for Holland, Wes took a wooden toy truck he made as a kid and put Holland decals on it specially for Grandpa. He loved it!

Pryor 80th Birthday (cont.)

After all these years, they're still crazy about each other!



All eight children were able to make it to the party.



These are the grandkids who made it...we got extra brownie points!!



We were there for 4 hours and only left because they were closing down...we know how to throw a good party!

Party at Fort Harrison

The day after our party at Jonathan Byrd's, we had yet another party to finish off the weekend. We all went to Fort Harrison for a picnic. The guys played a vigorous game of extreme frisbee...thank God no one was hurt!



My spunky grandma decided she wanted my uncle, Mark, to take her for a ride on his Harley. Isn't she the cutest?!



When they came back from their ride, we all made a tunnel and cheered them into the parking lot!



Wes couldn't resist taking a ride on my uncle's Harley. It's his dream to one day own one, but our Honda will have to due for now :)



My Uncle Robert is such a good photographer. I just love this picture...

Cheerleading Initiation

Steph and I are so excited with this season's new squad. We have 11 girls this year! And since we had so many "newbies," we decided to have a cheerleader initiation night at my house. (From left to right: Abby, Alyssa, Jordan R., Krista and Melissa)



Lauryn and Kaylin...



Alexis, Jordan C. and Sam (or the green chicks)...



We had the girls start off the night by making signs for each other that they would eventually wear on their backs the rest of the night.



Then things got a little rough, and we had them makeover each other with crazy hair and makeup. The girls were good sports and had fun with it.

Florida

Wes and I went to Jacksonville, Florida for our 2nd wedding anniversary. We had a great time together relaxing and hanging out at the beach. Wes and Jay had a blast deep sea fishing, but Wes' head got a little fried! One word...sunscreen!



Valerie, my good friend and roommate from BBC, also lives in Jacksonville. It was great to see her and spend time together!



We stayed most of the week with Jay and Monica. BTW...thanks again! The four of us took a trip to Daytona Beach. It was a little toasty, but we had a good time.



Here are our crazy friends doing what they do best...being crazy!



We girls did get a chance to hang out without the boys. Like the song says..."Girls just wanna have fun!!"
