Papa and Gigi's

Last week we spent a few days at my parent's house.  My SIL and nieces were staying there while my brother and nephew were in Wyoming on a mission trip.  Also, a bonus is that my cousin Jordan flew into town to visit as well.  I loved seeing so many fun girls at one time!  For the most part we lounged around Papa and Gigi's house.  One day, we (Heather, my two oldest nieces, Jordan and myself) went to Wild River Country for a few hours!  It was overcast so we were actually able to stay about 4 hours. We rode some rides with the girls and really had a lot of fun.  The babies (Story and Lincoln) stayed at home with Gigi. 

Summer and Tilly had fun putting barrettes and rollers in Jordan's hair!

 And Tilly dressed up in her new chef outfit from Cory, Juie and Lincoln.

And Jordan also managed to sqeeze in some time with Lincoln too.  He really liked Jordan although the pictures might lead you to believe otherwise!

And we were also able to celebrate Gigi's big news on her new job!  She has been without a job for three months and accepted a position at a new company on Wednesday.  Congrats mom!!

We had a great visit and always look forward to seeing these faces again! 

And just for a side note, this was the first time I took Lincoln by myself  on a road trip!  The trip there was slightly rough but on the way home he slept about 2 of the 3 hours! 

Celebrating Strawberry Shortcake style!

We spent the weekend in El Do celebrating Mady's 3rd birthday and Lucy's 1st birthday Strawberry Shortcake style!  Before the party festivities began I caught some shots of the kiddos playing.  Dr. Mady was on call in case anyone got hurt while playing...

Lucy loves playing with her baby dolls

Lincoln is a musician at heart.  He found the piano first thing and became a little possessive of it. 
Real men play pink pianos.

Let the party festivities begin....

Lucy's smash cake



We loved getting to see how big Bryce has gotten.  He still favors his sweet momma and I pray he always does. 



Close up of the sweet guy! 
It never fails that my eyes fill up with tears when I think of her.  I am so grateful God chose to leave a little piece of her here on this earth for us to enjoy.

Lucy could not look anymore like her daddy if she tried!

A very tired Lincoln was not a fan of the slip and slide.

Lucy enjoying her cake...

And Bryce enjoying it too! :)

On Sunday, Cody's church celebrated the graduates which included himself.

A graduate of seminary!

Congrats, Cody!
