Sittin' around

When you tell other people outside the "Uphold Circle" that our family reunion starts at 2p.m. and goes until well after midnight they just don't understand. They say what on earth are yall doin' all that time? Well the answer is 'Sittin' Around' of course. We are a great big drinkin', lovin', want to spend all day and night with ya kind of family. The next thing they usually want to know is how can they be apart of it. There is only two ways:

1) you have to marry into the family

2) you have to be so cool that you are invited....

How low can you go?

When the kids hear this famous line 'Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack go under the limbo stick.' They know what time it is. Limbo time. Cindy and Sandy held the stick while all the kids (and adults) had a turn going under the limbo stick. I'm glad to see we didn't have any faces scrapping on the ground like last year. Cindy and Sandy did an awesome job at keeping the kids (and adults) under control...Hee Hee That's a pretty fancy stick they are using isn't it. Well its not exactly a limbo stick. It is Butch's walking stick. Thanks Butch.

Ha! Ha! I still got it!

Not only can Becky still get down, she can do it with a cigarette in hand.

If you can't get bend backwards just crab crawl.

New family members

You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. ~Dave Barry, "Things That It Took Me 50 Years to Learn"



Normally I would agree with this quote, but for these beautiful women we will make an exception.

Brandy, Jenn, and Tiffany

Redneck slip and slide

The redneck slip and slide is a gas well liner...It doesn't get more redneck then that. Well I guess it does when you had baby shampoo, baby lotion, blow up pools, inner tubes, water, and a bunch of Uphold kids wearing bathing suits.
