One Terrific Family Reunion

This was not your typical family reunion.... No one was dressed in cut-offs and a wife-beater, there were no mystery dishes on the table, we weren't sitting outside sweating bullets and swatting flies, there was no watermelon seed-spitting contest, no one was talking about the time they spent in prison, everyone actually knew everyone else there.... I have to hand it to them - the Primms know how to have a family reunion! Everyone dressed up and met at the country club for a catered dinner that consisted of fried chicken, fried catfish, salad, 2 kinds of potatoes, green beans, rolls, cherry cobbler, peach cobbler, and vanilla ice cream!! Yeah boy - I married well! The whole group hadn't been together in a long time, so it was nice to catch up and let the kids see distant cousins that they never get to see otherwise. It was a great time!! (BTW, there are a lot of glowing eyes in the pictures. We're really not all possessed - it was dark in the room!)

These are the 3 boys responsible for everyone else - Randall, Ronnie, & Royce

And these are all of their kids - Shannon, Brent, Stacey, Ken, Kevin, Seth, Chris, & Scott This is our bunch without Tony, who is in California on a mission. We miss you, Tony!
These are the wives of the sons, plus Shannon & Stacey (the direct descendants:)

Oreos & Facebook are the devil!!

Oreos are just because they're so stinkin good that I can't quit eating them!

Facebook is because it is all-consuming and doesn't allow any time for blogging! But, it has been great for reconnecting with friends from the past. I think everyone loses contact with the majority of people you go to school with after graduation. You just assume that since you don't see them out and about, that they must've moved off somewhere. Well, I've been amazed to find so many from my class that still live right here in NWA. My friend, Jennifer, had the great idea of getting us all together for a little reunion at her house Friday night. It was SO much fun!! We talked about the good ole days, and about our families now, and then discussed who was where doing what now. There were 7 of us that made it, but we're hoping for a bigger group in December when some of the out-of-towners are in for the holidays. I can't wait!!




And here are some pictures from a few weeks ago that I just found on the camera. Scott and Payton went out to Devils Den and hiked around the lake one Sunday afternoon. He said that Payton loved every minute of it! (Holland chose to stay home, but was wishing she had gone.) They're actually all 3 out there right now, and Scott just called and said they were having a great time and would be home later on. Too bad they didn't take the camera this time :(
