We got to spend some quality time with my brother and his wife after their 3 year absence. And I love how we could pick right back up and have so much fun together!
Okay, so we really enjoy the silliness:)
We enjoyed a day going to the Territory Days parade. Love to people watch...its amazing what some peoples moms let them out of the house wearing:)
I LOVE this picture. The care and tenderness...
We spent part of the day having a great picnic, having races and learning to climb trees.
Or in B's case...battle trees. I think he finally showed that tree he was boss!
The boys loved having Uncle Danny and Auntie Katy around, they're kid magnets:)
Anybody want a s'more?!? Anybody?
Getting some Nonni cuddle time
I think the sugar's getting to his head!
What a great ending to a great day!
N's always had a fascination for the go-go's in Papa's garage. And it appears Hinder (his stuffed monkey) is also developing a love. That or Noah is trying to convince him.
We also got to go celebrate with a very special birthday girl. One of the hard parts of being far away from family is missing all the family events. And I love when we can make them. She sat with her tiara in her chair through everyone singing to her and opening her presents. Look out Daddy...she may want this kind of treatment all the time:)
What a cool birthday cake. I always wanted to make one of these but never had a reason. Thanks, L for having a birthday to enjoy a pretty cool cake!
And what's a pool party without a little pool time. I love the laugh these 2 are sharing. Getting someone wet seems to be so funny to little boys (and not so little boys too)
This picture best describes our time at the pool. N turning into a fish and going right for it. And B sitting on the sidelines not wanting anything to do with the pool for fear that he would sink:)
But I think my very favorite part of the trip was getting to meet my nephew right in the hospital. There is something just so special about holding a life so new.
The boys couldn't seem to keep their hands off of him:)
Baby C-someday, these boys will show you all it means to be a boy. They'll introduce you to all the construction equipment we can find, teach you about the importance of watching the trash truck every week and the mysteries of why people hitting themselves and body noises are so funny. We love you so much!
And who can pass up a chance for an impromptu photo!!
Seeing a brand new baby makes mine look so big! (Gulp!)
Not only did we get to meet a new nephew, but also a new niece! N was so proud to hold little M.
Baby M-we love you and can't wait to play with you as you grow. Unfortunately, this family doesn't know much about girl things, but we'd be happy to learn from you and your big sister. And maybe teach you how a boy is supposed to treat you:)
And B couldn't wait to hold her too. (in a high pitched voice "she's so Cute!")
I couldn't help but look at this picture and think back...
...its amazing how fast the time is going, and I wish I could slow it down, just a bit.
