3 Grandmas and an Aunt

Lucky lucky little monsters!

After the kids spent 2 weeks in Utah at Grammy's, they came home and got to spend another week with Grandma Mary, Grandma Mac, Auntie Shannon and Cousin Brayden!!

The house was full, but we all had a blast! I especially LOVED having someone else here to cook every night! (and I will ignore Ryan's comment that I didn't cook before they came because I sort of did)

I wish I would have gotten a picture of my big bingo win ($100) and especially the look of love and admiration on my husband's face. It takes a lot of hard work to win at bingo, ya know.


So here is a recap and tons of pictures of the past couple weeks for those few family members that weren't actually here!
Aubree & Karson with cousins Porter and Bryson

Dinosaur Park in Utah


If it was closer up you could see the feigned terror on Aubree's face, and the pure boredom on her brother's.


There's a lot going on here, poor Grammy had to drive 7 hours all alone with the kids, and the goldfish crackers up Aubree's nose were eaten shortly thereafter.


Visit to the Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage.



Karson was most excited about the giant filters for all the pools.

Ryan and Brayden


The two biggest dorks at the park, but the most in love.

Love em and Leave em

Track break time!
Lucky for us my mom teaches school and is out right at the perfect time.
The kids have 4 weeks off and then still have two more months of school before the year is officially over.
Starting next year (2 weeks after this year ends) the kids will be on a traditional 9 month schedule.
We are now taking any offers to watch them for the three months they will be off that Ryan and I will not be off.
So I drove them up to Utah over the Memorial Day weekend to stay for two weeks.
There's lots to do at Grammy and Grandpa Dan's house/farm.

There's feeding the chicken's and collecting eggs,

Riding, petting, talking baby talk to the horses,


Playing with the barn cat that Grandpa says has fleas. (that is yet to be proven),


Playing with cousins and visiting Great Grandmas,




Taking pictures by famous landmarks (only to those that live by them), like Devil's Slide,


Playing in(monopolizing) Grandma Betty's greenhouse,

Four generations of beauty....
