This photo of papa + his babies totally gets to me. Pure joy!

Happy birthday to me. Camdyn found this senior photo of mine in a closet somewhere, pulled it out and wrote this sweet message to decorate for my party. She is the best!
Mom reserved the Ammon city pool for just our family one evening.
Nothing cuter than babes on the table!
Game night..Mom laughing so hard is my favorite! ;) Balderdash brings out the crazy in us. 
..And the girls (Cams + Ayz) dancing in their matching jammies.
A lunch date with Josh's mom for her birthday, before leaving. 
Lex + Blaire (3 mos)   Brianne + Kammon (10 mos)   Me + Ivy (5 mos)

Our childhood was filled with soo many memories of playing house. Now we have our real life baby dolls! I just wished more than anything we could live close and raise them together.

The car was packed and ready to leave...only the kids and I didn't feel quite ready to go and not to mention Max slept horribly the night before so we were all tired. Josh caught a flight to go back to work. (Which is definitely bittersweet! I hate being away from him.) 
When I told Brianne that we decided to stay another week..she made the 4 hour drive back to my parents house. We just can't get enough time together! Especially when it's once a year. Cheers to extended stays!


We went to the park to play on the carnival rides.
Cotton candy is a must. I will not forget this outing, mainly because Max helped himself to some lady's snow cone when I took my eyes off him for a moment. Those situations are still new and embarrassing to me and the lady was very rude. I offered to buy her a new snow cone, but she was still upset that a child would get into her food. Something that Max continues to teach me is to give others the benefit of the doubt. Don't just assume my child has bad manners and I won't assume you're just plain mean. Maybe she was just having a bad day. And I felt badly it even happened.   
I tried to not let it ruin the rest of my day.
Papa & Nana with all 8 of their grandkids! These kids are beyond lucky to have them as grandparents.
