It had been almost a whole year since we had been to my hometown.
Cynthia was due at any moment and we thought it might even happen when we were down (instead Braxton made his appearance shortly after we returned home), of coarse I would have liked to meet Braxton, but looking on the bright side, I got to spend a lot of time hanging out with my sisters and family, and we started it off with the ladies hitting some yard sales.
Mckay wanted me to keep my eyes out for some BSU gear. I saved the day with a ton of cool finds including some birthday presents for a few of my July kiddos, and this sweet shirt will soon be Payton's. Later that day the husbands met up with us and we dropped the cousins off to play together at my Aunt's/cousins while they babysat them we at lunch at The Village, went to the movie Jurassic World, and had a treat afterwards. It was such a fun date!
Sunday was Father's day! I feel so blessed to have found and married the most wonderful Father for my children. Mckay is a very involved Dad and it is fun being on his team while raising these cute kids!
My Dear Grandma Bryson, she has been struggling with her oxygen levels lately and since my last visit with her I can tell things are changing. She is a sweet Grandmother!
I even got my Grandma to take a selfie with me! This man has always been an amazing example to me and can outwork most men.
Max spent quite a bit of time around us all this trip. He was having a blast with his cousins and was all energy until crashing at night time.
We piled a ton of kids into Aubrey's pool. It made us end up buying our own because the kids were having such a great time!
It was amazing that they all fit!
Gavin and his many funny faces!
One morning while we were there, the library was having a story time.
Then the kids had fun making their own shadow puppets.
We love doing all things arts and crafts.
The library even gave out free backpacks, supplies, and books. Sweet deal!!
Payton looks like a real farm boy on the 3-wheeler.
Kenzie even wanted to try although she was a little more reserved while driving.
Taylor was careful as well but still had a good time going nice and slow.
My mom got some craft things ready for us to make a 4th of July project. Some of the kids wanted in on the action.
How dare we try to craft on our own!
My mom planned a sleepover in a tent one evening and the cousins were in heaven with Grandma!
3 pees in a pod!
These girls are so funny together.
Makes me anxious to watch these boys grow up together.
Ha ha! It was hard to get a good one of both of them at the same time.
Silly little guys!
Awwh, the lazy days of summer.
I think both Cynthia and Gavin were enjoying their snuggle time.
Here are some more pictures off my family's phones:
What a fun bunch!
This is a cute little picture.
Their personalities are so funny.
...see.
Another afternoon we took the kids to the cheep theatre.
They had a blast.
Loves from Max.
Smiley baby.
Enjoying a smoked brisket dinner.
Already looking forward to our next get-together!
Tucker and Gavin.
Not sure about pictures.
We all had a great time.
