When the family gets together

My sister Hilary and her kids, Audrey and Landon, have come to visit for a couple of months while Travis is finishing things up in Turkey. It is a party every day and a little crazy sometimes but we are loving having them here and are making wonderful memories. Some of these are on Hil's blog too, but they were too cute so you'll get a double dose.watching a movie with some popcorn is one of the favorite special treats!

They had to save the popcorn. We have found that popcorn is one of Malia's favorite treats and she will go to almost any measure to steal it. I think right now she is trying to decide who to attack.

Fun at Utah Lake, affectionately known as Hot Chocolate Lake. We just play at the beach.

A visit to the farm where the kids go up close and personal with the animals. A little too personal at times.

Landon was not shy at all. His whole hand disappeared a couple of times while feeding the animals. Hilary hates slobber so it was really fun to see her reaction to her son.

Ally took the pony ride like a champ. Max on the other hand almost lost it, but I was holding Malia and so I couldn't go in there with him. He was a trooper until his time was up.

After a LONG haul, we made it to Seattle for my new beautiful niece's baby blessing. We all went to the baseball game and had a lot of fun, although it was pretty busy and we didn't spend that much time in our seats. Okay, okay, so as we were leaving I had to ask who they were playing.... I just knew we were cheering for the white team (they were the ones in white, right?).

Max loves sports and was so excited to see baseball. It was fun trying to explain to Max what was happening, since you couldn't see the ball from where we were sitting. I gave up after a couple of tries.

Malia eating again. She really liked the licorice rope we got. Good thing for bleach. Ally was such a clean eater and so all of Ally's clothes were in great condition for Malia. I think we might have to burn them when Malia is done with them.
