My Utah trip this year was total family time and I wouldn't change a moment of it. All I wanted was to be near my family and kids....hello noise and chaos. My time was filled with visiting, eating, my daily walking, laughing, tantrums, screaming and more laughter. Our days were filled with picnics, swimming, a special tea party, T-Ball watching, park time, card playing around the table and family games... lots of games. I also found time to visit with friends and neighbors and visit a few special places. Sleep was pretty much non existent. I loved the sounds of these grandkids and holding them was pure joy. This first thing I did when I got there was hold little Evie Lynn, our newest. The twins took a little while getting used to me, but I finally won them over. All the other grand kids ran up to me and hugged me... my heart was bursting. Below are pictures of my family time; memories that I hold dear. I love you all and miss you like crazy. Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of family♥
