Here he is with the youngest person at the reunion. I love my Grandpa. He is the sweetest man and it was so fun to spend time with him.
Some of the kiddos.
Grandpa with two of his brothers. He's the 2nd of 9 kids.

Our little family
I love this beautiful country that we live in, and I'm so grateful for the people who have sacrificed and who continue to sacrifice so much, even their lives, for our freedom. Thank you!
Read this! I just finished it and absolutely loved it. It is a story about the tiny English Channel island of Guernsey during World War II. It's written entirely in letters, and it is definitely one of the most charming books I've read in a while. It made me want to pick up some classics and join a bookclub.
Daddy's been working long days, but we love when he gets to hang out with us...
Maddie's getting taller every day...
Papa loves coming home to this baby... 
Maddie's getting chubbier every day...
And turning into a little diva...
Sammy and Kami came down to test out her amazing new stroller...
And Maddie made it clear that she was ready to start rice cereal!!!
Other news: I got a job as an ER nurse, starting next week. Tonight we're making bows and clippies for the girls. I'm trying to make an effort cooking dinner. Got our 4th of July outfits and we're ready to play on Coronado Island on Saturday. That's about it!
Oh, and Maddie finally got to meet her auntie Sarah, of course!
I need to get back into the blogging mode. I've been so busy trying to get organized and settled in here that I haven't taken any pictures for over a week. And that's not good cuz my baby's getting so big! She is turning into a little girl with so much personality. I am loving this stage, and I've heard it only continues to get better. Have I mentioned how much I love being a mom? The girl loves her bed. It rocks. It's like she's just waiting for me to put her to bed all the time. And when she's awake, she's so smiley and happy and wanting to move all over the place (although she hasn't quite figured that out yet). I could go on forever about the little peanut, but I'll spare you. As for me, I think I'm finally ready to start having fun. So to all my friends in the area, let's hang out! I miss my Utah friends a ton. XOXO. But guess what? Tomorrow I get to go to lunch with my old roomies! Can't wait.
P.S.- Check out my new trick
Love you sis. Hope you had a lovely day. 
They loved holding hands.
We took Briggs swimming for the first time. I think we were hoping for the babies to giggle and splash with excitement- instead they both just relaxed and seemed to enjoy it. They're probably just alittle too young for that. 
Thanks for coming over to play Briggsie and Sarah. We love you!
