Annual Neighborhood Block Party

Back in March we had our 2nd Annual Block Party
The wind was bad and threatened to ruin the party so we offered to move it from the street (where it was suppose to be) to our backyard. So we had most of the neighborhood in our backyard.........around 80 people, 40 of them being kids! It was so much fun! Everyone had a great time mingling, visiting, eating, playing games, eating, etc.
We were so happy to have it in our backyard. We pay on that backyard every month so we might as well use it! And man did it get used that Saturday. I have to say if it wasn't for Mac and J.P. Pryor this party never would have happened. We are so grateful that they live on our street! They have become our good friends and they are amazing people. You know when you find people that are what I like to call "Authentic and Genuine"? Well Mac and J.P. are those kind of people! Thanks guys!
It was a gorgeous day, except for the spring wind!
There was so much good food.........thanks everyone for contributing!
Mr. Grant and Tasia Shupe
Mr. Grant slept through most the party, but he loves all the company when he was awake.
Justin was a great griller! J.P. was also grilling just outside out fence area. I wish I would have taken a picture of him as well.
People, people every where.
We had some kind of basketball game going on most of the time.
Thanks to the Taylor's for bringing their jumping castle. It was so nice of them and ALL the kids loved it.
Kids, kids every where!
We had gunny sack races. The kids had a blast. Notice in the back ground the port-a-potty...........Justin brought it to from the plant. It was nice for people to not feel like they were putting us out when they had to use the restroom.
Even the older girls loves the gunny sack races!
That's Logan in the front. The little boys were hilarious to watch jumping.
Kendall Moore in the front, Hunter Cluff and MacKenzie Allen in the back.
It is crazy how much fun the kids had with just gunny sack races! So easy and so fun!
WOW...........look at how high Ashley Herbert can jump! Seriously she was like a jack rabbit.
We love the neighborhood! Living in a neighborhood is good for Justin......it forces him to be more social!
The older girls got silly......
..........which lead to giggling......
We have so many babysitting age girls in this neighborhood it is AWESOME!
Ryan Biggs, MacKenzie Allen, and Logie. We love the Biggs boys! They venture down to play almost everyday. And on the days when they don't Logan asks for them a million times. It almost just easier to have them here then to listen to Logan!
Nikki John did a cupcake walk for the kids! She is awesome and such a great neighbor. Don't ask me what she was making the kids do here?
Hunter having a blast............Chandler is a little late for the race?
Anything to get a treat huh?
Cute outfit Kiersten! :) It's almost like you are the only girl or something?
What would a Pima Neighborhood Block Party be without a hay ride? Not complete that's for sure! Mr. Cooper was nice enough to come take everyone who wanted to go on a long ride.
Stacy Moore, Me, Mac Pryor and Nikki John. Silly Stacy wouldn't stand in front with us. Love these girls!
Yeah we got a little crazy! Mac and me actually came very close to touching tongues in this picture................not on purpose of course. You get these girls together and you have an automatic PARTY!
Thanks to everyone for a great Block Party!
