pink and grey were the colors she picked
It was a full house!
The Mama to be! She came exactly a week after the shower.
I tried to get us in our Sunday best, I got most of us.
This cute little lady is such a joy to have around and growing up so much.
Here is most of the crew
Look at this handsome stud!
Our next journey for June was our Boise Friend Reunion...I am so grateful for Laura for initiating and carrying this through and even though not everyone was able to be there we had 4 families reunite.
Emery's hosted everyone for a BBQ to start out the adventure...it was a blast and so sweet of them!
Our first day we went to lagoon and it was a blast! Tiring but a blast.
Linc's loved the bumper cars
Vienna and Luke
Everett was a trooper and rode lots of rides alone
this was a fast ride!
riding the gondola with all 3 kids alone was a bit nerve wracking, but it was fun
so many kids, but so much fun!
The older kiddos
airplane ride fun!
boat riding!
most of the adults, missing Jeff and Me
Lincoln actually fell asleep in the stroller...A MIRACLE!! and such a blessing!

The next day we went to the Hogle Zoo and then swam at the hotel
then on Sunday we went to Temple square and that was awesome. We all had completely exhausted, over tired children but we managed to make it.
This is probably my favorite family photo and its actually a good one. Christ really is our everything!

Here is our only group shot and we are missing the Pooley's, next time we have to get a group shot with everyone! There were 14 children and 8 adults. We did it! 5 years later and 9 more kids, but we did it!
hotel fun! Our room was so big and nice. Had such a great stay!
I tried to be super prepared and have gifts/snacks to open every hour or so and it worked pretty good, especially for my first time.
The next pics are from when we got home
A bath in the pool...why not!
We made a penguin world and watch Happy feet and will make a penguin craft this week.
It was funny, but our Utah family came up while we were in Utah, so we missed them a bit but at least got to spend some time with them. Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's
Everett loves this car
We went to the splash pad and Lincoln was in heaven!
I couldn't get him to leave!
Everett just wanted to be with Mama, which is great with me
Vienna loved playing with her older cousins. Ezra played so good with his much younger cousins.
Vienna thought Zeffie was the best for drawing so many pics in her sketch book.
So glad they came up for a visit.
cousins in the fountain!
It has been a wonderful June so far, much busier than I expected but that always seems to be the case. I know that our Utah trip looks perfect but I must note that there was VOMIT....AGAIN. It was pretty much exactly like Disneyland, minus the diarrhea and instead of me getting sick it was Mike this time. It started with Everett 4 days before we left, he vomited the longest and the last time was on our drive to Boise. Our kids slept fine that night but in the morning Vienna started puking about 8:30am and puked that whole day until about dinner, Lincoln started vomiting about 3pm and he kept going until about midnight that night in the hotel. Mike was nauseous and felt yucky the whole day at lagoon and vomited that night. Once he was done it ended, so we were mostly puke free for the important days, but SERIOUSLY????????? What the heck. I was so worried about getting our friends and their kids sick, but luckily that didnt happen either. Miracle!
I can't wait for our reunion next summer too!
