Trip to Utah: The Seymour's

We were little party crashers and joined in Friday evening on some Seymour plans for yummy ice cream.  These cousins did not skip a beat.

Jack is the funniest with Jimmy.  Jack is mostly a quiet kid, but man does that come out rather quickly.  "Jimmy!" and a bunch of giggles and jumping all over him.  They got their little love fest in.

Naomi and Owen meeting Everly for the first time.  

We all need to from time to time revisit our 2 year old selves...for them it is pretending to be dogs.

At Cowabunga Bay...

Not pictured: Rob & Lezly.  It was completely unintentional, just bad timing.  They were at Cowabunga Bay & the other plans throughout the day.

I should have videotaped it.  Logan and Naomi's goodbye.  They were kissing each other.  They were backing up and running into each other with a jumpy hug.  Logan did cry once in the car.  Goodbye's are hard...he got over it when he realized we get to keep Everly and don't have to say goodbye to her.  Logan did learn this trip he can't marry Everly which was a challenge...previous times has been explaining he can't marry Naomi.  It's hard being surrounded by such amazing girls he just wants to spend every waking moment with them as they bring such joy to his life :) and really it has been such a treat to see both sides of the family and reconnect.  Our hearts are so full after this trip...can't wait to plan the next trip we can look forward to!

Trip to Utah: Friday

Friday was the day after the reception where we got to have a nice low key day at Janae and Tim's place.  Had some hot dogs, small chat, and kiddie pool time.

Janae bearing the weight of the two tiny ones of the family :)

Rona and Joyce enjoying a little afternoon air.  

Trying to teach the little toot how to splash people.  We all got drenched earlier from the uncles.  In fact, the kids and I quickly learned that you must persevere.  Although you may be drowning in buckets of water, just remain steady through it and continue chucking cups of water at them...it's the only way! It was so fun!!  Couldn't get those photos without destroying my camera.

Aren't these 2 the cutest...Everly looks like such a chubster next to the smallest of them all :)  They're gonna be the best of cousin friends.

Trip to Utah: Wedding Day

I have so many photos...it's gonna take multiple posts.  We had so much fun on our trip to Utah.  Such a treat to see family...then to have the planets align and see both sides of the family.  It was like our own little solar eclipse in time ;) so rare.

Below is Jimmy sharing some Conan O'Brien clips with Chris on a slow afternoon.  

Everly is always the cutest.  This was our little window shopping trip to Gardner Village.  They have just the cutest stuff...got a little bite at their bakery there.

The morning of the wedding, getting some cousin time in

Between the reception and park time we got to spend some down time with the Shavers.  Logan hates going fast.  He is certainly not well versed at using a scooter.  Abby just wanted him to get on and go around the block.  Well, Abby was going faster than Logan could handle.  Logan decided it's better to run with his own two feet and carry the scooter than to actually use the scooter for anything fun.  Needless to say, Abby helped Logan back to get something he was more comfortable with getting around.  Bottom line, Logan does not feel "the need for speed."

Grandma carting Logan in the wagon to the wedding reception.  Such a beautiful day!

I am no pro at taking photos of the dancing, but all the kids had a blast dancing their hearts out.  It was so cute.  Daddy daughter dance of the evening.

The groom and his mom...

We have photos from Janae's wedding of these two dancing...they were so little.  Time has gone by and they still will dance together.  Once this started, neither of them wanted to stop...they just moved on to new partners.

She's a stinkin cute girl...

Oh Piper...she sure loved having Jimmy swing her between his legs and back out again.  It became quickly the favorite dance move of all.  Jimmy quickly learned some excuses to not get on the dance floor because his arms were so sore, haha.

Everly slept through most of the wedding reception...we sure know how to wear her out!

The reception's theme was Alice in Wonderland.  It was very classy in how it was decorated.  So cute and fun.  We just had a blast.  So fun to be around family.
