More of the Party

There were just too many pictures to put into one post and I really want to remember this night!
It was photo crazed, so many shots of so many people. Here is a group shot of the siblings

Candice pretty much rocks. She made a rice crispy cake into a tank in honor of the nights festivities. She even made her own fondant for it! Complete with an army guy sitting on the top. And oh my did it taste good!

Here is Mr. Tank surrounded by his infantry.

It was so laid back with so much time for conversation. Just easy and natural, so perfect.

I don't know if this was meant to be part of the decoration, but intended or not I love how there was this sunblock stick set out amongst all the little army guys! It's gonna be hotter than hades at Ft. Jackson so I thought this was very fitting!

I was absolutely floored at all the decorations that they had set up. Teri said she just went to the recruiters office and told them her son was leaving in a week and they loaded her up! They had information set out about army life, Marcus' job and even some cute pictures of when he was little.

Teri and Darrol put in so much work to make such a wonderful BBQ for everyone. There was mountains of food, BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, salads, fruit and veggies, chips and fresh salsa, it all tasted so amazing!

I didn't notice this sign up until half way through the party, it is now sitting in their front lawn.

Olivia had so much fun playing with all the family! She was just beaming all night, even without having a nap that day! She especially had fun with "Auntie Shelly" (Michelle) her namesake. Teri and Michelle had Olivia a lot on Friday and Saturday. Olivia even took naps with her Auntie on Friday and it's been "Auntie this..." and "Grandma that..." ever since.

Bud and Great Grandma Radder

Little Bianca, so happy all the time!! The only downside is there weren't very many opportunities for Konks to crawl around and this girl is go-go-go, so that got a little frustrating for her but she had huge smiles for anyone that so happened to glance her way.

Grandma Teri even brought fun games for the kids to play with, Olivia was so sad to leave her that night. She just kept begging to go to Grandma Teri's house!

Marcus with almost all of his sisters (Ann lives in California). Candice, Darlene and Michelle.

Thanks to everyone that came, we had so much fun!
