Brookings with Family!

So just now blogging about it but the first of Aug we were able to rondevouz at the in-laws house with Joe's brother and be together as a family! The last time our family (parents and two boys with families) were all together was last Christmas in Ontario. But we have never (with baby girls) all been together at Grandpa & Grammy's house!  Here are just a few (ok you all know me and they're might be a FEW more than a few but...) of the highlights of our great trip!


Katey loves her otter pops, and Grandpa knows this! They "shared" quite a few :)


And this is what Grammy loves...she got quite a few of these snuggle times too :)


And she saved a few snuggles for Grandpa too :)


And then her cousin showed up...and she liked to share lots of things with her :)


She shared Grammy's wheel chair on the way to sharing her mommy.  Mommy had the opportunity to do a 1 year photo shoot for Avery!














We had such a fun time, and as you can see, she was not at all stingy with her gorgeous little smiles.

And Katey even got a few shots...of course you know i can't resist :)





Then it was back to the house for some bbqing and some birthday cake!


Katey helping Grandpa check the bbq!



Yum! Lots of chicken for us to take home! Its soo delicious!



She didnt' like that candle of cake at all!



Or the presents!



It was a little horsey and she was soo cute just pushing it all around!

During the bbqing Katey found some time on the front porch for her fav thing with Grammy!






Bubbles!

And when the next day turned out to be just as beautiful as that one (which is always touch & go at the beach) we decided to go enjoy the sand & surf!





Grammy hasn't been able to get around much in the last month or so because of hurting her foot so we were all thrilled that she could come enjoy her grand babies running around on her beach!

Joe rolling up his pants to take Katey out where she REALLY wanted to go!



At first Katey was really interested.


but those waves looked awefuly big


and she decided...


she liked this view much better...


And this one was pretty premium too!


Avery however...



really wanted to be down on the sand...


..especially if she could get some to her mouth!


Soon Katey warmed up to it as well...maybe with a little gentle urging from mommy :)




Such a fun visit


with lots of classy memories! :)
