So Much Has Been Happening

We finally got to go home to visit our family this summer!  So, I'm going to post pictures in stages- this the time I spent on my way to NW Washington.  I took the girls from Oklahoma to Idaho Falls in 2 days, then stayed with my sister Haley for a couple of days.  I was lucky because our youngest sister Jenna was staying with Haley and was able to drive with me to northern Idaho and stay with our grandparents and then over to West Washington where our parents live.  The trip was SOOO long.  Well, the driving part anyway.  I have so many pictures of the girls conked out in their car seats.  They handled the drive up there pretty well.  On the way home to Oklahoma Mya hated it and was pretty difficult, but at least I had Randy with me then.

 I think Kenadi or Emma fixed Jenna's hair in this pic.  =)  Left to right: Jenna, Mya, Paige, Haley, Kenadi, me, Emma, and Sadie.

Haley was so sweet and took us in for a few days and Paige was only a month old.  I had such a good time with her and Jenna.  It was so good to see my beautiful sisters!

 Little cousins.

 I LOVE my family!  I was so happy I got to see Lois and Mike (my aunt and uncle- my dad's sister). They were like my parents when I was at college and they took Randy in as a son too.  Their kids/my cousins all live around there and I got to visit with at least one of them.  What a fun, loving family. I had so much fun visiting them.

 Kenadi, Emma, Mya and Sadie got along pretty well too.  They had so much fun playing ponies and swimming together.  My girls couldn't get enough of Haley's newest baby, Paige.  She was so adorable!

 On to Northern Idaho!  This is my grandparents barn- it's now a "store" or kids play fort made into something like a store.  The girls would climb the TALL ladder up there and play for a long time.  My grandparents farm is a paradise- for adults and kids.  The girls loved to just explore and not be under my thumb all of the time.  I loved to see their independence.

 My cute grandma.  If only I could have her energy.

 Grandma, Kenadi, Mya, Jenna, and Emmy

 Big, pregnant, me- and the rest of them.  =)

 Kenadi, Grandpa, and Emmy.  He is so good with the little girls.  

 The raspberries were in season, and the girls spent a LOT of time raspberry hunting.  yum!

 This is the upper pond at my grandparents house.  There are 2 small islands and a bridge that grandpa built to one of them.  So peaceful.

 In the field.  It was nice to have Jenna with me to help take pictures.  =)  

These are a few of the pictures I took... I WILL post the rest of the trip and in a timely manner!
