"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Labor Day with the Maynes'

Nate's family has a little get-together every Labor day.  This year, it was at Lynn and Ali's, Jen was in charge.  She did a really nice dinner, and then planned a bunch of "Work to Win It" Games.  It was a LOT of fun.  Who doesn't love games that make you look like a fool.... and the competition of it all!  I nominated myself as the camera-girl. 

Nate's even good at shaking ping-pong balls out of a tissue box that's tied to his back.  Fun stuff :) 



Kelly's such a cute little cheerleader for her team


Popping the balloons since the wind was taking off with them!





I can't help but love the pictures that Erika asks me to take of her :)  She must have loved that crown :)



This was actually a reinactment of what she had been doing a few seconds earlier.  Everyone thought it was adorable that she was standing there all poised and ready to go with the cookie game ;).  She did look pretty cute. 





Doesn't this just look cool?!



Erika was trying to hoola-hoop, but wouldn't back up at all for me to get a decent picture :)  She sure was being a cutie that night ;)
