And We're Back!

But we had so so so much fun!

The Beloved flew with The Baby

and my flight crew is pictured below -

Upon Arrival -

The Bowling/Arcade Experience:

My little parentals drove down to be part of the action -

Loooovvvve IT!

Such a serious bowler -too bad she got beat by almost everyone, including Gadashio.

Eating Mexican (YUM YUM):

In Illinois there are no, I repeat no good Mexican Restaurants. So The Beloved and I were so very excited to engorge ourselves.

Any of you delightful Mexican chefs out there should move this direction - we need you.... PLEASE!

At my sister-in-law's house:

The Beloved's two delightful sisters -

who feel more like my own.

We traveled to Utah for such a special event. The Beloved's youngest brother is leaving on his mission the end of April and we were able to attend his farewell and also accompany him to the temple.

I am not quite sure why he hasn't been translated yet... he's a remarkable young man and will be such an incredible missionary.

You'd think that with all of the celebration, and so many different photo taking opportunities, that I'd have some super beautiful pictures -

but this is what you're stuck with ladies and gentleman -

Head measurements! :)

The family thought they'd finally find out for themselves how truly big their heads are -

turns out... they're pretty comparable.

Doctors - get off our backs! :) We know the truth!

Then of course we had to measure the bellies.

All of these little grandchildren flock after their grandpa.

Maybe two year olds shouldn't sleep in the playroom.

These toys were put away before he went to bed. Hmmm...

Swimming with Papa and Buckabu:

Isn't she beautiful?!

Watch out for the Papa!

Little C and his cousin from the big CA-

Watch guard -

Afterward a trip to McDonalds:

Wheeler Farm:

Now, is this a wonder-mom or what?

Our travels went well - the boys did amazing on the plane.

Although next time we may opt to travel like this:
