Family Fun

One of the coolest things about my sister coming to visit was getting to see our kids together.

Joshua and her little girl are not quite 2 months apart and so obviously we want them to be close buddies.

It was fun to see them interact with each other.
When Joshua first met his cousin at the airport, his initial reaction was to reach out and touch her.
I like to think he had fun meeting another small person like himself.

They often would grab each other's binkies to the other;s dismay, but it was cute.

I do hope they will be good friends one day.

Another little adventure we had was finding this cute creek at one of the local parks.

 DO NOT BE FOOLED! That water was FREEZING!

My brother-in-law decide to build a dam with his son's help.

And possibly my brother's help.

Albert helped his sweet little girl discover the creek which she liked to look at, but not be in it so much. His wife was the cleaver one and opted out of the cold water, partially due to carrying another baby girl.

My nephew being sneaky, but luckily threw that rock the other way rather than hitting his daddy.

 Garett and Joshua had a fun time as Garett carried him while walking up and down in the stream. 

I walked around in it a few times, but eventually my better judgement kicked in as the numbness wore off my feet.

Joshua did get a little grumpy so we decide to have fun with it and all pretend to be grumpy too.

Funny that no matter how old we get, you can't take the child out of us all.

To Think It All Started From Two

It's been awhile since I blogged and so here are some of the changes:

Garett and I after much prayer and consideration felt that our time in Rexburg was over and we needed to move on.

We are staying with my parents right now while Garett finds work more closely related to his field and begins to apply to grad schools.

Shortly after we arrived my sister and her family flew in and we got to have a nice big family reunion with all my siblings and our growing families!

It's kind of insane that this all started because a pretty lady from Delaware met a handsome West Point man up in New York and they fell in love!

It had been a year and a half since we had all been together and so much has changed!

Well not everything, we're still a goofy bunch.

My parents gained 2 grandchildren this year with a 3rd one coming any day now, putting their total to 5. Mom is absolutely LOVING being a grandma and lets face it, these kids are pretty dang cute.

(I apologize for Joshua's very distressed face, he is actually a very happy baby most of the time)

Have you ever tried to get 4 children all under the age of 4 to look at the camera all at once?

Good luck! 

Garett and I are loving being parents to our darling little boy who is changing and growing everyday!

I love that though we've all grown and changed, we're still friends.

Gosh I love my siblings!

I'm so blessed to have these 3 crazy and sweet people to call my family.

I hope Joshua will one day be an awesome big brother and love his siblings as much as I love mine. 

Looking forward to the next time we can all be together again and the fun and changes that will have occurred!

-Until next time,
