Roberts Family Reunion

We went to Georgia this weekend for Earl's family reunion. I didn't take as many pictures as I thought, and definitely didn't get all the family in the pics. But here are some of them, in backwards order:

This is Collis, leaving on Sunday.

Earl and Mike saying bye.

Justin, Louise, Mike and Collis


Wesley in the car already ready to go.



Mike and Collis




Darlene and Louise





Collis and Ben







Bon fire time on Saturday night.






Most of the grandkids. From left: Matt, Grover, Heather and Patrick, Chris, Charlie (I think Wesley is the head behind him that's blocked), Adam, Shea, Ben, Justin, Hollie and Brian with Bradley and holding Joey.



Water fights!




























The pregnant ones, Hollie and Me.






Joey attacking Aunt Darlene with his legs.









Aunt Donna reading a new book to Joey.




The boys playing in mud.


Joey drying off after all that mud and water play on Saturday.











Earl's dad thought it would be funny to play a gag on the family by wearing an Obama t-shirt (he is a democrat, but most certainly isn't an Obama supporter). He put on the shirt and snuck up on people and tricked them into pictures with him. It was hilarious. Because these pics aren't in order, the first ones here are Earl and Mike sneaking up on Earl's dad and literally cutting the shirt off of him! LOL




















Arron was in on the joke, and wore an Obama prank shirt too! LOL












Justin, Joey, Hunter and Bradley on their way over to Aunt Donna's house.


Bradley had his first football game while we were there on Saturday.
He decided he wasn't ready to play if his mom wasn't staying on the field with him, but he did at least cross the field when they announced the players by name:







Bradley waiting to cross the field.





The other kids enjoyed the wet fields covered in water puddles while waiting to go back home.

Motorcycle Ride

Last weekend, Earl's motorcycle club, the Sons of Patriots, hosted a charity ride for a fallen police officer, Mike Phillips, who died last year. Many of the motorcycle club members are area police offiers.

The first group of riders on their way to the destination.





Joey sitting on daddy's Harley.



The president of Earl's motorcycle club, Steve, getting interviewed by the news.




























Earl getting ready to ride.
















Detective Phillips' son wanted to ride on Earl's bike, so Earl took him for the ride from the motorcycle shop to Redbones grill where we had lunch and the raffles.
















Joey got a few prizes during the raffle: the beanie and the beach ball, and a t-shirt and a pizza gift certificate.





This is some of the members of Earl's motorcycle club, along with Detective Phillips' wife and sons. (Earl is far left)
