4 tha Fam
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Here's my 4th of July weekend wrap-up...with pictures
On Thursday, me and the fam headed to my hometown, Florence, SC for a small family reunion. On Friday, we had a HUGE cookout at the crib. The food (sorry no pics) was great! Afterwards, I hung out with Roody and Zell. On Saturday, we got together at Timrod Park to take pictures. Afterwards, we piled into 5 cars and made the hour drive to Myrtle Beach. I had a blast down there. The kids did too. We went to dinner and then we headed back to Florence. Later that night, I linked up with Roody, Zell, and Derrick for drinks and trash talkin'. Then, on Sunday we went to Mrs12's grandmother's house in Andrews, SC. We kicked it there for a day and came back on Monday. It was a great time! I really enjoyed myself.
Now...the pics
Here is the sweetest lady to ever walk this Earth. This is my grandmother. She passed away when I was 6. I have soooo many fond memories of her. Everytime I see this picture of her I'm reminded of her sweet spirit. I know you're smiling down on the family that you created!
Here's a picture of my granddad. He passed away when I was like 2. He was a cool dude. He was a dude who was about his fashion. Peep his gear. Maaad fly. haaaaa
Here's a picture of the house that I grew up in. Not pictured is the basketball court where I honed my skills! LOL
Here's my dad. He's chillin with all of his grandkids. Taylor and Tyler (Damon's kids), Deion, Brandon, Kameron, and my niece MacKenzie (my sister Cara...not pictured)
Brandon...looking to get into something
Kameron and Brandon
Little cousin Jamison (Aja's daughter) takes a ride on her granddad's shoulders. That's my uncle. If he looks familiar to some of you sports fans, that's b/c his face is familiar. He used to play in the NFL. His name is Harry Carson. He played in the NFL for 13 years for the New York Giants. In 2006, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Brandon gets some ice cream
Da fam! Me, momma12, mrs12, Deion, Kameron, and Brandon
Why is Kameron pouting?
Nobody's looking
Me and Mrs12
Me, Damon, and moms
Eric, Angie, my Aunt Louise, and the kids...Arin and the twins, Kaitlyn and Lailah
Eric, Mike, Aja, Damon, Donald, Lucky, and me. We are all cousins but we're really brothers with a sister. We all grew up together. We are only cousins in name.
Momma12, my aunts (Louise and Ruth) and my uncle (not pictured...uncle Ronnie)
My aunts, uncle, Aja, Lucky, and Donald. Lucky and Donald are my "lil cousins". I still call em lil but Lucky is 6-5 and Donald is 6-4. LOL. Lucky is a sophomore at Auburn. Donald just finished grad school at Hampton and is headed for medical school at Virgina Tech this fall. I'm proud of those younginz.
I'm chasing Brandon on the beach
Mrs12 and Brandon play in the sand
Brandon is awake but Deion and Kameron are knocked out! What's wrong with this picture?
Fin
Ball till ya fall this weekend! What are you gonna do?

Hey Brother!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures...beautiful family!
You're wife reminds me of that actress from Hustle and Flow...the one that was singing "it's hard out here for pimp...when you trying get the money for the rent.."......She's very pretty!
It really touches my heart to see black married couples...and...their children...God blessings to your family and household.
Great Post KD. Love to see family gatherings and showing love, support & good ole times together. I am glad you took the whole family and your children got a chance to see both sides of the family. I am also happy and it makes my heart warm that you two are still married and still keep the excitment going when so many children only get to see one side of the family and never know there other side. MY hats off to you and MRS.12 for keeping hope alive there are still some black folks doing the right right thing and keeping the family core together.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm gone aight aiight

ReplyDeleteDon't you love how southern folks park in the grass right up to the house. Reminds me of being in Central Florida again. I need to go see my people.
Yeah Kyle, I agree that she favors Taraji Henton -- it's all in the eyes, nose and mouth. Cute wife.
ReplyDeleteWhen a man finds a wife he finds a good thing.
And the church said, Amen.

It's a beautiful house in a great neighborhood.
@ Beautifully.Conjured.Up
Thanks! I really do cherish these moments. I remember when I was the one who was running around like my kids were. Now, I see age catching up with my uncles and aunts. I realize that I'm standing where they were just a few years ago.
@ Queen
Thanks! I have that last one on the screen saver. I really wonder what he's thinking about doing. LMAO!
She's a good woman. And she has a good man!

@ Anonymous
I normally don't delete others comments b/c all opinions are golden at the 12th Planet. But I had to let you go, bruh. You may wanna save that for some other time. If you're ever in Atlanta, I know some folks that live under I-20 on exit 53 who are homeless who may sit thru that rhetoric that you posted. LOL
If there's any consolation...I read half of a paragraph.
Thanks for coming thru anyway...whoever you are.
Beautiful pick Ole Dit. Nice family man. But I got a question playa. What did Mrs12 see in yo behind? LOL. Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteYo, my reunion is in 2 weeks. About 30 miles to the west of yours. I might roll through that lil spot you told me about in Dillon. (wink)
awwwwww family *tear* lol. Your wife kinda sorta maybe reminds me of taraji p. henson a lil bit. thats a good thing cuz i think shes pretty) your youngest son is a mess wit them two teeth on the bottom!! and he looks like the one that gets into everything. he looks like he wants to do somehthin mean to the other brother while they were sleep.

ReplyDeleteYour family is a buncha beautiful chocolate SC brothers and sisters!
Mrs12 is the hotness! woohoo! No wonder she ain't worried about your blog crush! haha. And she doesn't look like she popped out three boys either.
Honestly I was born in Texas, but I am not a country girl, all I was thinking is can nigga's that dark travel through SC without coming up on a tree and rope? haha!
West Coast!
But for real the pics are beautiful and you have a beautiful family, and to the cuzz who's going to med skill...do that shit then man! We need more black doctors.
GREAT!!! pictures of the fam. Thanks for sharing. That's a wonderful picture of your grandma she looks like a kind hearted person. Seeing granddad's picture explains why you are so fly. It's GENETIC =)
