A Weekend of Reunions!

We had two reunions this weekend! TWO! Rhett's High School reunion and my yearly family reunion. We were busy, to say the least.
Friday night we went to Crabs on the beach for Rhett's 10 year HS reunion. I cannot even believe it's been 10 years already. And no, I did not take one single picture. Why you ask? Well, because I LOVE my camera but that sucker is huge and too big to take in to a bar type setting. At least for me anyway. Anywho, we were nervous to go at first (you know, seeing folks you haven't seen in forever) but then once we started talking to people we started to have a really great time. I even saw Andy and Robyn Webre (Robyn graduated with Rhett). Andy is my brother Jesse's best friend. They've known eachother since elementary school, so by proxy I've know Andy for forever! He and my brother are seriously the funniest people you will ever meet. I am so glad we got to catch up a bit. Anywho, after the reunion we headed over to Flounders with a few of the reunion goers. We didn't stay long because this Momma was tired and I knew we had to pick up Ly from Rhett's parent's house early in the morning. So home we went. We got home at around 2:00 am. That's the latest I've been out in a long long long long long long long (you get the picture) time. I am so happy we went though. I really have not laughed that hard in a long time. Not to mention, Rhett had a great time!
This is just a random photo. I just thougt it was funny because Lyla was putting make up on/brushing her Daddy. :) See...
And of course, she LOVES to stomp all over us. :)
Saturday was my family reunion! Every year we go up to my Grandparent's house in Century and see family from all over that we never see (except once a year)! We had a great time there too. The food is always awesomely good (country cookin', what do you expect?)! I made deviled eggs and those suckers must have been good because they were gone in like 10 mins. Of course, deviled eggs are always a favorite of everyones. Lyla enjoyed everyone's company. She was shy at first (like right when we got there), but soon she was walking up to everyone and playing with other kids. My Granddaddy even took the kids on a sort of "hay ride" except with no hay. They have a ton of property up in Century complete with two ponds and a bunch of cows. Lyla had fun on the "hay ride" and she also enjoyed checking out the cows. Rhett went fishing for a little bit so I know he had a great time!
Here's Ryan, Rhett, and my Dad...
Monica, Ryan's wife, (that's for you Mom, because I know you're thinking "who's that"?) and Tucker with Lyla....
Baby Tucker Scully
More family hanging out on the porch...
My Dad actually took this picture. He did a pretty good job I think! :)
My Grammy showing us how she works out! HA! :) I love my Grammy!
Our favorite part....SUPPER TIME!
Lyla loved this salad type stuff. It's like Pistachio Salad except pink. Anywho, I think she loved it because it was pink (and good)!
Being a very big girl and using a spoon... she almost always insists on using a fork or a spoon now.
Sitting in the mini rocking chair on my Grandparent's front porch. She loves to rock...
My Grandparent's have blueberry trees on one side of their house and so we decided to go pick and eat some. Lyla LOVED them! She even liked picking them herself. :)
Eating homeade ice cream...which is a staple at the Smith Family Reunions. Had some both days. Mmmm....
And this is of course what happens when Rhett took too long to give her a bite (he was a taking a bite himself...bad idea)...she gets reaaaaaaaal upset....
