Mini Family Reunion

Today we left to go down to Boise.  All of my family was there except for Amron and his family.  It was so good to see everyone and are so grateful for Lindsey for putting up with all of us for the weeked.  20 kids and 12 adults is a lot of people to stay at your house.  She is always such a good sport and we love her!
The kids took their sweet time getting ready to go and so we didn't leave until about 8:30.  We got there and went and did some shopping before going to Ezra's house, I knew we wouldn't get it done after we saw everyone.  We went to Joann's Fabrics hoping to find some fabric for Brooklyn's easter dress, we didn't find any she liked, but we did find some other things.  We then went to Dick's sporting goods for Brooklyn to buy some shorts and sandals, I love that they make their own money and have to save up for things they want.  They take much better care of the things they buy and realize that if they want something they have to work for it. Brady also got something he had had his eye on, so we left with everyone happy.
We got to Ez's, it's just so fun to see everyone! Tyanna was there, I so wish she lived closer!  Her kiddos are just so cute! Aaron was there and I haven't seen them for awhile either.  Brady sure loves playing with Cade and Connor.  The kids were all in cousin heaven and played and played the whole time.  It's so nice when there is no fighting or arguing they all played so well. We just visited and let the kids play the rest of the day.  The weather was so beautiful! We enjoyed soaking up the rays!
Chas came later with Mom and Dad and got there about 7:30.  We ate dinner and then rushed over to Keeton's to say hi and bye to Lynn and Dixie who were there for the week.  We stayed there which was really nice as ezzie's was a bit tight.







Saturday we woke up and went to Brynlee's baptism.  She is such a sweet girl, her and Emree are the best of friends and it makes me so happy!  She was beautiful and the baptism was great.  I got to hold Elise for Lindsey so she could pay attention and not have to worry about leaving with Elise, turns out she slept the whole time and was perfectly behaved!  It was funny to watch Cal and Drew with Ezra and Aaron, each one would follow the others Dad around thinking it was their own, so funny!







After the baptism we went back to Ezra's for a delicious brunch and then went to play softball.  It is awesome now that the kids are getting bigger, we had a great time.  Then we headed over to the park where the little kids could play, again we enjoyed visiting and soaking in the sun.
The adults got to go out for dinner that night, thanks to some friends and Brooklyn for watching ALL of the kids!







 


We headed back over to Ezra's for breakfast sunday morning and then went to Keeton's sacrament meeting before heading home.  Mom and Dad, Tyanna and Ammon followed us home.  We had a nice ham dinner together.  What a great weekend. Thanks Ezra and Lindsey for being such great hosts!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
