BBQ @ PAM"S ON SATURDAY.....

Pam called last week and told me the Fadely's were coming to town. She invited me and Tony over for a BBQ so we could all see each other. It was great! The weather was lovely and it was nice to see some relatives that I hadn't seen in a long time!
I'll explain..................... This is Pam and Jerry Hochstein.
Pam is my cousin Glenna McCloud's daughter, making Pam my 2nd cousin! They live in Meridian. We get together occasionally but not as much as we use to when I was single.

This is Teronda Erickson. She is my cousin Jenny Lynn Erickson's daughter making her my 2nd cousin as well. I haven't seen Teronda for years and years! She lives in Meridian. It was great to get her number and address. She is getting married soon so will be Teronda Robinson in the next few weeks!

This is some of the Fadely boys with their uncle Spencer Erickson .

This is my wonderful husband whom you should all know! He was enjoying some relaxation time and looking forward to lunch!

This is Kevin and Mya Fadely! Mya is my 2nd cousin as well being the eldest child of my cousin Jenny Lynn. These two are incredible parents! They live in Stevensville Montana. They have 11 children. Nine of them are their biological children and 2 are adopted. They have had up to 15 children in their home because they are foster parents as well. They are an incredibly talented musical family! Mya is going to home school her children this year. They have a boy on a mission and they were here to go through the temple with another son who is leaving on a mission soon.

Kevin works BUT in order to provide for a family of this size the two of them work at a Farmer's Market most every Saturday throughout the summer. They make crafts of all kinds. ie: birdhouses, benches, paintings etc as well as baked goods! Mya and her children bake cinnamon rolls which she is know for throughout the Stevenville valley. She has done up to 30 dozen for a Saturday's market. She has taught all her children and they help out!

Here are three of the little darlings in Pam's tree. Mya told them that if any of them fell it better be "super glue" that would work to mend them cuz she wasn't taking them to the emergency room! LOL

This is Aspen, their youngest. She is adopted. Can you tell, she loves olives?

This is Spencer (my 2nd cousin) and his wife Cassie and their little boy.

Teronda (my 2nd cousin ) on the right. Teronda is Jenny Lynn's eldest and Spencer is Jenny's youngest.

This is the Fadely family. I don't know how we missed him, but the boy who is going on a mission did not get in the picture. The oldest girl (3rd from the left) is living with them. She became interested in the church through their son standing behind her. She joined and her parents dis-owned her and kicked her out. The Fadelys took her in!

And of course, Jason and Caulene, Addie and Isac were there too. It was a great Family get together with some of my relatives that live here in the Boise area and of course some that were here visiting.
