Pre-Wedding Festivities (Warning Lots of Pictures)

Our massive bowl of cole slaw (Ben & I made it)

See that roaster pan? It's full of pulled pork

Maren loved the water
Cheesy Sydnee
Eve is always in charge
My cute nephew Ian, he kept asking me to take his picture
How many kids can you fit in the pool?
Grandma Yancey bought the babies these darling swim suits
Look at those ripples!

Ben's older brother George got married Sunday night. It's been a fun few days, but very busy. The Yancey's love to get together and eat. There is never a shortage of food at their home, if you go away hungry, it's your own fault. On Friday we had a barbecue at the house so that we could visit with the family from out of town. We had lots of fun, then later that evening Ben, Addy and Sydnee went to the strawberry days rodeo. The girls were so excited, they had lots of fun with their cousins. Maren and I stayed home and hung out. I even got to watch a chick flick while they were gone. Saturday morning Ben and the girls had to go to a rehearsal so that they would know where to stand and what not. When they returned home, we headed back to the Yancey's for more food. They hosted a rehearsal dinner/barbecue. They were expecting 50 people, made food for about 100 and had about 30 show up. We have been eating a lot of leftovers, in fact, we haven't had to cook for several days now. The kids loved playing in the pool and just enjoying their cousins. Ben's sister Sue lives in Colorado, so we only get to see her family once or twice a year. It was lots of fun meeting George and Hope's friends and catching up with Ben's family members.
