Spokanians, Family and Fish

Mike's Uncle Warren, his two daughters Dede and Regina along with Regina's daughter Rhondi (sp?) and baby are in town from Spokane, Washington for a visit. The people love some catfish...but really - who doesn't? We had a huge gathering of family at the Catfish Hole last Saturday night. More family in from Missouri and Louisiana.

How bout this trio?

Chaser and his Meemaw.

Different day...new location.
Meemaw's (Mike's mom) birthday was yesterday (Sat)...her 75th! We, along with Uncle Warren help surprised her with dinner at Cock of the Walk.
Does she look surprised?

Some more Meemaw loving.

"Happy Birthday to You"

Mom and her kids

I know...it looks like 45th...but it's 75th!

Could any sisters look any more different?

Uncle Warren's great grand child...Warren. He was teething and Cock of the Walk's tin cup felt awfully good on his gums.

Uncle Warren and Larry probably telling fish stories.

Regina, Dede, Rhondi, baby Warren and Uncle Warren. I love Regina and Dede. The sweetest! Uncle Warren is a mess, I tell you! Hilarious! He'll be celebrating his 90th birthday soon. Doesn't act a day over 70! Ha!

We went outside for some pictures. They have great lanscaping for photo ops. I love this of Chase. It was really too dark but I got what I could.


Oldest to youngest. They always did this growing up and still find ocassion to do it now. I LOVE it!

Uncle Larry...and his fishing tan. The boy loves to fish. Hilarious!

Larry, Carol, Lisa and Mike

Chase. It's too dark but Mike said he'd show me how to lighten them up with some Microsoft something-or-other.

Uncle Scott and his girls.



Megan and Beth

The Franks'.

I wonder if that Microsoft thingy can airbrush my waistline and butt!

Chase and Beffy.


I think I'm done with catfish for a while. One more meal together before they leave, though. Tuesday at Cotham's in Scott... http://www.cothams.com/ It's become tradition. We ALWYAS do lunch out there before they leave. Ever been there and had a hubcap burger?
Fun family times
