Getting Ready

We had fun decorating for the party.  Pacman border to line the dance area, along with colored lights, records, and ceiling decorations. 

 

The cassettes on top of the book case were awesome.  Jake glued 4 of them together in a box shape and then we put blue Led lights inside for a cool light effect.  We also melted some vinyls down in the oven to make bowls for chips and floated some purple Led lights in the punch bowl. 

Thanks to Greg and Amanda for saving my tush and decorating for me.  They rocked it for sure!

Getting my makeup just right took some time.  I thank youtube and all the girls who having nothing better to do then demonstrate how to do proper 80's makeup. 

Jake took on the Christian Slater look from Gleaming the Cube while Jude sported an MC Hammer look. 

All I'm going to say is......I love Greg!


PARTY TIME!!

Glamour Shots

READY

SET

GO!!

I seriously have a photo shot almost exactly like this back from the pageant days. 

Heather pulling off some vogue pics.

Greg and his fiance Amanda.....Whom we love!!!

We're so grateful for the maturity and level headedness that they bring to the Garner family. 

Jake and I decided Keith won best costume for the night.  The freaking fanny pack was killing me all night.   

Jude's wondering what kind of family he has been born into.  Don't worry son, we'll brain wash you soon enough.   

We were all struggling to find poses all night and Devan and Lynette walked in the door and popped this one out of now where.  Show offs! 

Jake's cousin Audra and her husband Jake looking way to GQ. 

Their rockin kiddos who know how to get down on the dance floor. 

Mark and Wendy posing it like it's hot. 

Getting Down & Dirty

Jake getting relaxed and comfortable at the party. 

Starting to loosen up. 

He brings me in to dance with his sweet moves. 

A little awkward slow dancing while we get to know each other better. 

Getting to know each other didn't take long.  

Devan and Lynette stole the show with their dancing antics.

Audra won the freeze dance competition. 

The Boys Are Back In Town!

Please note the change from the picture before.  Like I said, Greg brings a level a maturity to the Garner family that is greatly needed.  ;-)

This is probably my favorite picture of Devan ever.  It's just so......Devan. 

Wendy's daughter Bella and Audra's daughter Mckenzie rocked out in their pink tutu's. 

I love that Greg is wearing my Ragnar running pants and wig for that matter.  I have to say the pants looked way better on him then they did me.   

I hope my grandchildren cherish this picture someday.  It reflects all of the life battles I've fought and won and my drive to keep on kicking butt and taking names. 

Jude Goes Glam

A few days after the party, Jude and I had a little photo session and I got these awesome pics which I plan to use for blackmail someday when he brings a girlfriend over.
