Kitties

I do believe that my kids fell in love with two kitties while we were visiting Utah. They brought my kids much happiness and entertainment! Poppy and Ollie are Heather's newly adopted kittens.

Andrew wanted to steal them and take them home with us!

Family Time

We love visiting Utah, because we get so much time with some of our favorite people!

I love that my kids photobombed the picture with my mom!

Andrew is almost as tall as my mom. He probably will be the next time we see her!

Andrew really struggled with the afternoon church time in Utah. He slept through both Sundays. No joke!

My lovely niece, Cami was in town as she was heading into the MTC to start her 18 month mission to the Lyon, France mission! We are so excited for her! She'll be an awesome missionary!!

Cami with Great-Grandma Crain:

We had a little farewell party for Cami with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins, but unfortunately I didn't take out the camera to get a photo of everyone who came. I think there was approx. 40-50 people who showed up to say good-bye!

We also went to my mom's family reunion in Cedar City where Madeline became instant friends with my cousin's daughter, Kimberly.

More family reunion.

My mom and her siblings:

Mom and all her living siblings except Marva.  Mom, Zina, Valerie, Janet, RaChel, and Kendall

Karey and Ben came for a short visit. We were super excited to finally meet Ben and it was great to see Karey again too! (o:

As you can tell baby Ben totally loved me! ;)

He was a little happier when Karey was close by!

We also had our traditional family breakfast at kneaders with Aunt Debra and her kids!

Then sweet Grandma Crain wanted us to take some selfies, which we happily obliged!

Madeline even gave her a hug!

Grandma Crain is completely adorable, isn't she?

Until next time dear family...

Totally Unrelated Randomness

It's true that my family loves Pokemon go! We got some funny pictures from the game while playing in Utah

My mom with a growlithe! You would think they'd be much bigger than they are!

Lara with a mankey

Lara and I holding an abra!

My dad working next to a pidgey!

Lara and I playing on our walk! Lara was excited to catch some new Pokemon for her son, Adam!

The ridiculous rock that attacked my car and extended our vacation for a solid week while my car was getting repaired:

The EVIL rock

My kids loved playing in the rain and as an added bonus there was a double rainbow during this rainstorm!
