So part two of our amazing 1000 mile plus road trip last month is finally up. From my parents place we were able to drive south on friday to Onatrio/ Nampa in time to make our niece's (Joe's Brother's) 2nd birthday party and visit my brothers wife & kids (he was in Portland!). Such a good way to end a great week. Lots more unforgettable memories!
Hanging out with the Family!
Grandpa & Anna
Cousin Avery came!
She LOVED Anna!
And Grammy couldn't get enough of having her grand daughters all together!
Cuddles for Gramma Jan!
Its August in Ontario, that means HOT! So the water quickly came out and the clothes quickly came off :)
Uncle Zac playing!
Saturday morning!
Reading the paper with Grandma Jan, very intently!
Tickle wars!
Then off to Nampa to see Aunt Kelsey & Cousins Connor & Ayla!
Picking things in Aunt Kelsey's garden!
Then inside to play in the castle!
They played so well together...mostly :)
Aunt Kelsey, Anna & Sophie
Love this handsome boy!
So does his uncle Joe!
And he LOVED Anna!
Then Ayla woke up and came to play!
She had to go in the castle too :)
Lunch time!
Then outside to play...and the clothes again came off :)
Getting his hair wet! So cute!
In the radio flyer wagon!
So strong! Showing me her muscles!
Ayla was such a good girl just sitting & watching
Katey loved hugging her :)
The closest we came to a cousin pic...and Anna is missing :(
"I wanna go over there!"
"Up Mama!"
"Hehe, this is what I wanted!"
"So fun!"
Meanwhile...over in the sandbox...
Ok back to the blanket for more pics of the little QT!
Almost standing on her own!
Loves mama!
Likes to eat her chin!
And nose!
Just a happy pretty girl all in all!
But the play date ended all too soon and we rushed back to Ontario for Avery's birthday party!
Birthday girl!
Riding the horsey Grammy & Grandpa got her for her 1st birthday!
Cousin Love!
Oh and the uncle too!
Some birthday shots of the birthday girl!
Birthday Girl & other Gramma.
Katey "helping" to watch Anna :)
"What mama?"
Cupcakes with my new niece in the background!
Time to blow out the candles!
Katey REALLY liked the cupcakes :)
Avery on the other hand...
Wasn't so sure!
She'd stick to her ice cream!
and with lots of friends!
So happy!
Playing with Avery's birthday present!
She has since requested a "pink bike with a top handle" many times!
Anna kept herself amused with Uncle Rick and the balloons!
The next day Avery came over to play more! The girls played together so well!
Ok a few more of my beautiful niece!
Love this pretty girl!
I love this pic! It looks like Katey's thinking "Hmm, wonder how I can get that water from her?"
And of course, Katey didn't forget about the fire engine in the basement! She was VERY good at making her car sounds this time, watch her mouth!
"You want to ride mama?"
"Ok Avery, its your turn!"
I think they both got into it!
Hard to say goodbye, but such a fun visit and so fun to watch the cousins growing up and finally starting to play together!
