The Party Keeps on Going....

The Beloved flew home from Sister #2's house and I drove back to Sister #3's for her grand company during my travels home.
The HAPPY babies - before they realize what they've gotten themselves into.

The Happy boys - until they also realize what they've gotten themselves into:)
20 + hours later (due to numerous, numerous, numerous stops:) -
we made it!
And Sister #1 couldn't stay away from the action:
Me, Sister #1, and Sister #3
Sister #3 preparing dinner by tenderizing meat with hammer. Scary.....

Sister #1 loving on the babies
I guess I started feeling out of place around these dark haired beauties - so Sister #1 helped me out.
I'm pretty sure my boobs are saggy but not big enough to stand out that badly.  Promise. But Yuck.

Playing cards with the fam. Aren't I a Beaut?

There are probably better ways to entertain ourselves.. but  we couldn't just throw away the left overs.

Lou with  dye in the front of his hair. He's excited!
After picture to come later. :)

What is this?

Oh... I see. 
It was love at first sight... or maybe first taste.
Naughty Aunty.
She just received favorite aunt status. :)

Yo sisters - I love you all! 
Thanks for being radical in oh so many ways! 

P.S. I don't know if any of our dear relatives took time out of their morning to go to breakfast with Sister #3 and I - but if so... I am sorry we weren't there. We were at some Denny's restaurant about half an hour late, in SLC. 
Not being part of the F.B. world I wasn't sure what the exact agreed upon location was and my lack of punctuality issues were ever so present. In the next life I'll be a better date :)

Road Trip Part #2

After Seeing Sister #3 we headed a few hours away to visit Sister #2 and her fam.
The Kids at Play:
These two are about 7 mos apart and had so much fun/caused entertainment for all.

Little C with his Cousin J

They spent many hours at the park digging out their "mote".

Lou with Cousin K.



Little C and his older cousins made an air gun shooting range in the backyard.

Giving us an example of how it's done.

Little C and Cousin H.
Softball game:

Cousin DV batting at her softball game. She was also the pitcher for her team and struck a few people out.!

Sister #2, myself, and Ruckus - the doting fans.

The Baby likes the game but not as much as his do-nut.


Shooting Range:
(one of the things on my "before I turn 30 bucket list" is to learn how to shoot a gun. My Sister and her spouse were so awesome to help me out with this endeavor - plus so much fun to hang out with - thanks guys!)
Sister #2 and I preparing for some shooting practice. Isn't she cool? :)

What a fun date! Love that guy!

The kind of happy looking host and smiling hostess:)

Taping up the target.

Sister #2 was born with an excellent shot... me on the other hand have a bit of practicing to do.

Attempting to load a gun.

Loving it. 

You go girl!
