Extended Richards Family Reunion

Saturday, September 19th (yes, we had a very busy week!) Ron's family (Jared's dad) all got together for a family reunion. We had a lot of fun visiting with family (mostly just Jared's immediate family though). Since I'm having issues w/blogger lately being able to move my pics around, there is no particular order to these pictures!
The Ron Richards family was in charge of games for all the kids. And by "family" I mean Nicole and Jared's parents - they planned and prepared everything and did a GREAT job. The kids had fun playing a homemade version of Plinko, tossing the football into a net (my kids both loved doing this), getting their faces painted by Aunt Nikki (seriously wish I had taken some pictures. Nicole is so artistically gifted and WHATEVER the kids wanted, she did! It was awesome!), and digging through a kiddie pool filled with sawdust for candy and small coins!

Of course we had a fabulous BBQ!

Right Side - Meagan, Nathan, & MicahHannah & Mia (with a mouthful of hotdog!)It was a lot of fun to have 7 of the 8 siblings there. That's an amazing turnout for the Richards. We've been married almost 9 years and I've NEVER been with ALL 8 siblings at once!And I stole the next picture (and the previous one too!) from my SIL Melissa. Jared's dad (standing, 2nd in from the left) with his siblings. Jared couldn't even name them for me, so if you think I can...yeah right! The only one I know is Ron's twin brother, Don (sitting on left). But for the sake of family history, I figured I should have it and if Ron and Annette would like to tell me who everyone is, I would greatly appreciate it!
