Perry Family Summer BBQ

"All because two people fell in love..." is the perfect saying for these pictures. This is my Grandma Lucy (age 82 - I think?) and Grandpa Perry (age 87). These are my dad's parents. A few days back we were able to get together as an entire extended family for a bbq. It was neat to have all of my dad's siblings together and all family members except for like 8 people. This is a rare occasion because the Perry's are scattered in several different states.

My grandparents, Aunt Kathleen, Aunt Nancy, My Dad, Uncle Doug and Uncle Alan.

They entire Perry gang. WOW! I haven't taken the time to count up how many there are of us now. We sure do know how to have a fun time.

All the Great Grand kids! 19 great grand kids were present (Lilly was missing to make it an even 20) and there are TWO sets of twin boys on this side of the family.

This is my Dad's current posterity. We feel like we can never capture the "Perry" family because there are ALWAYS new babies coming in a few months. Krista and Riley are the next to have another little bundle of JOY...we are welcoming our SEVENTH-YES- 7th- BOY (Conner, Logan, Sawyer, Isaac, Jacob, Everett, Caleb and New baby boy Peck) to the Perry family of once all girls! We just laugh because we were once a family of only girls. Now the boys are taking over. We all love it, but my mom pulls for little baby girls every time!

Our little gang...Alayna, Jared, Caleb (6 weeks old), Me and Jakey!

Oh, I have to show this ADORABLE picture! These two kids win the award in our family as the two "Hams" mainly because they are so silly and have quite the personalities. We were so happy to actually capture a cute picture of the two of them together. That's Kennady doing her classic "CHEEEEESE" pose and Jake doing his sweet, "Cheese" face. You just have to love these kids. I'm sure they were extra happy we were letting them have so many yummy cupcakes! That would make me smile too!
