Family Fun

Izzy holding Heidi-she's going to be a great big sister!

Heidi Ruth- about 3 weeks old-so cute!

Leah and Heidi

So for those of you who don't know, I have the cutest nieces ever. Leah and Izzy just keep getting cuter and cuter as they get older. They are both talking all the time and they say the funniest things. We went to Idaho this last weekend to celebrate with my Grandparents...they have been married for 65 years! My Grandma also just turned 84, so a good number of my family got together to have a party on Saturday. It was fun to go to Idaho, especially because it's been over a year since the last time I was there.

My cute Grandparents-65 years together!

Me and my awesome Grandpa

My family (but not all of them...we keep growing)

Nick and Jess, Alison with her not so happy baby Brooklyn, Ryan and Kaci

Emily, Grandma, Kristin and her little girl Alexa

One interesting thing is that no one's spouses came with them. My dad got sick, so he didn't go. Dan had a scout thing or maybe had to help his dad with something. Debi just had a baby, so of course she couldn't travel. And Sean is just lame. Just kidding. :-) I'm not sure why he didn't come, but I think it could have something to do with him being in his last semester of law school and being really busy or something. Plus they have 2 dogs they can't leave home alone.

Two of my little cousins (what do you call your cousin's kids?) Madison and Briana

Anyway, it was weird to have it be just the 5 of us again...but it was also cool because I think my brother and sisters were cooler before they got married (marriage seems to make most people a little bit lame) and being without their spouses seems to bring out the "kid" in them more and it was just like the good old days when we could all be silly and laugh and make fun of Kayla. We're very mature. :-)

Overall it was a great weekend and definitely good to spend time with family. It's nice to be home again...but work and school are very busy.

Coming up: this weekend I'm seeing a couple of films in Park City, which should be exciting.

You seriously have some super cute nieces... you'll have to blog about Park City!! Hope you had a good weekend!

I don't think that making fun of me ended at all when everyone got married? I actually think it increased greatly when Sean came into the family. It's just because you are all so jealous of me.

Also, our neices are amazing and pretty much all of them are going to be little heart breakers.

Hey, I think I'm still pretty cool. You just don't see me enough anymore. I'm still just as silly as ever. Although, I haven't seen Matt laugh that hard in a long time as he did at Kayla eating the "pineapple".

I know, you guys are still fun and cool...but you are just a little bit more silly when you're spouses aren't around. The "pineapple" incident was pretty funny though.
