We made the loop from Boise to Oregon and back...the longest part was the 14 hour trip home! But the kids were amazing...and Grandpa spoiled us rotten with stops at McDonalds for food and play breaks. My heart is full at the hospitality of my brother's and sister (and their spouses)...Matt's house was like a hotel with people moving in and out and Kristie's sister visiting. They up-rooted all the kids and gave us a room to stay in, had a family barbeque, and even took us swimming. Aaron and Cristy's new house was beautiful and they went to a lot of trouble making wonderful meals for us (Aaron's 5 course breakfast was to die for!)--including dessert! And once again, they shuffled kids around so we would all have a comfortable place to sleep. And Shanee's house was chaotic as ever...but she too made us some wonderful food (Mmmm, just thinking about the Black bean soup makes my mouth water), came up with some fun activities for the kids, kicked more kids out of their beds so we could once again have our own room, took me out to lunch and even splurged on some maternity clothes for me! You are all wonderful. Thank you so much for letting us invade your homes and catch a glimpse into your lives! Hope to see you next year!

the first photo is dated wrong. I'm pretty sure that isn't 2009, but some time in the eighties. It could be a picture of you.
Looks like tons of fun. And already plans for next year. You're a brave woman!
I'm lovin' the matching Easter dresses! I agree with Mindy- Sierra looks just like you! Can you say spittin' image?
I loved to hear that you had a great trip. Family looking out for and taking care of each other fills my heart too. What a fun tradition. It sounds like the Boise- Oregon loop is going to be one loop filled with many fond memories.
So glad you had a fun and safe trip. Family visits are so fun!!
I am so glad we got to see you! I love the pictures - Jacob and Nikell are SO cute!
The pictures are adorable! It looks like your girls had so much fun :)
