Fun Times With Family

This last week we took a long drive to Idaho. I have lots of family there. Grandma, Aunts/Uncles, and lots of cousins. My mom was also there while we were. So it was fun to see everyone and visit. I love being with family. I needed to get away and have some fun. It was a 12 hour drive and the kids did pretty good for the most part. My sister and her daugther also went with us. I wanted to surprise Gma T. and I did. She was so happy to see us. I also had a surprise for everyone. Tyler is going to be a big brother. YES, you read that right. I am expecting our second child in April. I am a little over 3 months pregnant and feeling great. I don't get morning sickness so I feel blessed. Here are are some pictures of our trip to Idaho.


Maelyn and Tyler in the car on the long drive to Idaho. Smile!

Cousins playing. I have a lot of cousins and loved gettting together with them. So I hope that Tyler will enjoy it like I did growing up. Emily, Tyler and Maelyn (left to right).

Tyler actually sharing with Emily. He was having a hard time sharing with Maelyn at our house. So when I saw him sharing I had to take a picture. We loved having my sister Katie and Maelyn at our house for week. Tyler just didn't want to share with her. They all go through that stage I guess.

Tyler and a HUGE pumpkin. He loves halloween and pumpkins. So when we saw one across the street from my Aunts house he wanted to go touch it. He loved playing with cousins in Idaho. Tyler jumped on the trampoline and had a snow cone for the first time. Fun Times!

Tyler, Debbie, Heidi, and Emily. Heidi is my cousin, roommate, and best friend. We have always been close and done a lot of things together. Growing up we saw each other at least once a year. When we took our yearly trip to Idaho I always worked in the snow shack with Heidi. We went to EFY for 2 years together. We were also roommates for year in a half. So I would say we are close. It was so fun to get to see her and her little girl Emily. I had so much fun visiting with my family and hope to see them all again next year.
