What it's All About.

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.

Loving it.

You are a delight! Thank you for letting us hang out with you and your cute, cute family.

We love you and miss you already!

Road Trip

Our dependable van has carried us all over the country and finally arrived at the 100,000 mile mark.

 Spring Break 2012 took us to AZ to first spend time with Sister #3 and her family-

she's the sister who's closest to me in age and taught me all the bad things I know. (Such a joke.)  I love her.
The Girls:

After viewing the Hunger Games movie. mostly LOVED it. 

After church taking advantage of a few photo opportunity moments.

We're Pals.

 Looking back, it probably wasn't my best picture.
Gross. A little gross.

The Boys:

Hmmmm.... I guess...
They also love each other. :)

These two were friends long before Sister #3 and I were in the picture.
They enjoyed their male bonding time.

The Kids:

Dressing up with cousin D

Lou is enjoying a ring pop he was rewarded with after being good in church.
Cute cousins!

The babies adore one another. 

Me with Lou and Baby A.

Couldn't squeeze my sister's kids tight enough.
 (Notice Lou in the background pouting because he couldn't be in the picture :(

The Beloved loving on Baby A.

Thanks Dear for traveling those long, grueling hours in the car with me to see my fam. I love you. 

Why must there always be things in my nose? 

Thanks "R" Family for your awesome hospitality.

I love you sister.
