Mama's House

By most accounts it was better than the 1st. I'll see if I can get my hands on some pics later on. For now you can visit Austin's blog for a few of the pics.

UPDATE: More pics courtesy of Annette.

UPDATE II: Memories of 2008 Fonacier Family Reunion:

• Nazi Park Rangers
• Jayden and Cedric quitting football on the second series of the game while the younger Noah played all the way through.
  
• Football, Softball, and Volleyball.
• Hitting Roland with water balloons.
• Continuing the family reunion over drinks at The Slidebar.
• Getting to know cousins (Joy, Dean, Roxanne, Fahren(sp?), and Brian) and their significant others (Joe, Carla, Julio(?), and Ramon(sp?)).
  
• Being constantly shouted at to listen by Roxanne and Fahren as they drunkenly tried to recreate a family tree by reciting names I've never heard of in a failed attempt to find out how exactly we were related - I'm pretty sure we're 3rd cousins.
  
• EJ, Lindsey, and I "admiring" the patronage at The Slidebar and marveling at the bar's popularity.
  

By most accounts it was a better family reunion experience especially since we actually met "new family" this time around.

UPDATE III: I looked it up myself and found out that Joy and Brian are our 3rd cousins, once removed. In other words, our 3rd Great Uncle (Jose Mendez Fonacier) is their Great Grandfather.

Not exactly sure where the other cousins; Roxanne, Fahren, and Dean fit because I can't find them on the family tree on Geni, but if anyone does know or can find out, let us all know via comments.

I'm a little confused here, which day is the Fonacier Family Reunion 2008 on? I have it marked on the Family Calendar as it being on August 9. But after a talk with Melanie, I became confused as to whether or not I got the date right. So please clarify.

It's that time again apparently. Any ideas on how the t-shirt should look? A few thoughts to keep in mind:

• The t-shirt MUST have the words: Reunion, Fonacier, Family, and 2008.
• Optional words that you may want to include: 2nd Annual, California (or other location - either more general like USA or more specific like Los Angeles), a more specific date than the year 2008, and Wayne Soller is the Greatest Human alive.
• The t-shirt must be suitable for Fonaciers of all ages, gender, shape, and tastes.
• The t-shirt must be kick ass enough to wear outside the family reunion.
  

So any ideas? I need those ideas by the end of the week.

The more observant of you know this already but for those of you who didn't notice we've already started counting down to the 2008 version of the Fonacier Family Reunion. Details are scarce as of now but there's a rumor that a flier has been circulating about already. The date is set for August 9 and I believe the location is the park we were supposed to go to for the first Fonacier Family Reunion.

So start thinking up ideas for your name tag.
