Snuggling with Grandma

FAMILY
My cousin, Lee! They had us over for dinner one night and it always so much fun to spend time with them!!! Thanks Jenn & Lee!!!

I LOVE Jenn!! She is one of my favorite people!! We had such a great time, sharing crafty ideas, eating and laughing!!!

Every time we visit, we make Julia give us a concert! She has an AMAZING voice, seriously, she has the singing voice of an adult (ok, well that sounds funny, huh?!) ....so maybe I should say that she has the voice of an Angel, which she definitely does, but it's more the voice of...an adult angel! I only use the word adult, bc she has a more mature voice than other kids her age.
Anyway, this visit she entertained us with many of the songs from WICKED!! I really should've recorded one of her songs!

Rissa and Ashley had the BEST time playing together!!!! Actually all of the kids loved playing together and I loved that they each had a cousin that was the same age.

WE spent one whole, entire day ...from sun up to sun down:) at Seven Peaks Water park! We met the Christensen's there and played all day long!! I only have this one picture, to remember it by...well, actually, I do have a couple more, but they include ME in a BATHING SUIT, so they did not make the cut for the blog!!

MORE FAMILY...THE JOYNERS

Rissa and her little baby, Austin!
All of the kids LOVE Aunt Angeline!!
So we all played this game....well, I don't even know the name of it. Basically, you throw the balls across the yard and try to ring it on the bar. Each bar is different points, top being the highest. This is a picture of my balls-lol-all three of mine made it on the TOP bar!!! My niece, Cara and I, were teammates, and this was my last throw of the game!! ...we won and beat Angeline and Brittany!!! I liked that ball game, I need to find out the name of it though!


Some of the guys lined up to watch the 'competitions' that were going on.

Janell, G'ma @ Dana enjoying the beautiful weather! We LOVED the cooler weather, that's for sure!!

I love our nieces and nephew's!! This is our niece, Cara. LOVE HER! The only thing that we were sad about was that we didn't get to see Brett...BRETT, WE LOOOVVEE YOU TOO...next time we may just have to bombard him at work!!

Krispy Kreme

Does anyone else just love these doughnuts?!! We took advantage and went, twice I think, b.c the ones close to our house have shut down so we have been Krispy Kreme-less for a couple of years now! YUMMY GOODNESS!!

Ok, so to be perfectly honest, I went a third time...without the fam! I was soooo excited to get to see one of my good friends that I haven't seen in 18 years!!! Minta met me at my sis-in-laws house, and then we ditched and went to KK!
and just for the record, we did not eat all of these doughnuts ourselves!! we did take them home to our families!!
....or maybe we did eat them all!! lol---really! MINTA!! I had ssooo much fun with you!! It was so funny b/c from the second she got there, we were chatting and laughing non-stop like little school girls!! And even after talking late into the night, we still have so much catching up to do!! I can't wait to see her again....but until then, we'll have blogging and facebook, right?!!
