FAMILY!

This past week my cousin and her family came for a visit.  It was so wonderful to have family here.  What I love most is you can be your relaxed, idiotic self and know you will still be loved, whether it is because they must love you or because they know you know that they are just as idiotic I am not sure, but whatever the reason... it is great!  Here are some pictures from our wonderful week together.

Our Family ~ of course Kipp had just fallen face first


We decided to go to Hidden Falls for a little outdoor adventure.   We packed a picnic lunch and loaded up the kiddos and headed out.  We hiked, threw rocks in the "crick", checked out the dragonflies and spied a rattlesnake.  Over all we had a wonderful time.  As you can see the babies went along too, snuggled in our Moby's they enjoyed the trip immensely.
The Grossmann Family


 

The Grossmanns live in Alaska so this was Malachi's first experience crawling through grass & splashing in mud puddles.  Also, while they were here M took his first unassisted steps!!  He is 13 months.  What a joy being able to be apart of his first steps.  What a fun memory.

Welcome Home Daddy!



It was so wonderful to welcome daddy home from deployment last week!  He was only gone for two months, but babies sure change a lot in two short months.  We missed you daddy!  Life is always so much better with you in it!

and so it begins..

I am so happy to finally be able to share our life journey with friends and family and record our memories.  Being a military family we are far from the family we love, and with four boys ages 4 and under, there isn't much time for chatting with our long distance friends.  Hopefully this will keep us all close to your hearts.
