As ya'll know, we were in Utah for vacation. We caught up with friends, met new family members and even caught a football game. I haven't been in RES since November 2004, when we beat BYU on our way to the Fiesta Bowl. I forgot how beautiful the U campus is.
The kids had all kinds of fun, meeting cousins their age, and catching up with their favorites, Ali and Brady. While we were there, the whole entire Blackburn family got together for a family picture. I can't remember the last one, it has been so long!
Yep, that is all of us! Finally all together!
We even had a picture of Sara, dad, mom and me taken. Last time we had our picture taken, our clothes clashed and gave you eye strain looking at it! Mom had said stripes, but didn't specify color, or direction!
And this is our first family picture! Aunt Sara had bought Connor and Caitlin a Special Agent Oso car earlier that day and Connor refused to go anywhere without his.
And here is a picture of Grandpa Pete and Grandma Charlotte with all the great grandkids.
I think my parents liked having their house invaded my noisy, messy little people. I am sure they will be finding stuff Connor and Caitlin hid around the house for the next 6 months. I apologize for the bananas!
We found a playground really close to their house and the midgets really enjoyed playing there. Look at he look of pure joy on their faces!
Connor tried to sneak back to the car, and Grandpa Gene chased him. I haven't seen my dad move so fast in ages!
Aunt Sara took the midgets to Build A Bear for an early birthday gift.
Connor wasn't exactly happy about the noise of the stuffing machine or the stranger that decided she needed to get in his face, but he finally settled on a puppy. He did pick out the football uniform, which is the right color!
Caitlin had a hard time deciding on what to build! There were so many options! She finally choose a bear. She is adorable! Aunt Sara wanted to by her a princess costume, but Caitlin choose her outfit instead!
Their shoes, cleats and football are on their way here, we mistakenly left them in SLC.
Caitlin with her new favorite person in the whole wide world, her Aunt Salah! It is so funny to hear her say Aunt Sara! They both love their Aunt Sara very much!
I think it helps everyone remember that they are two totally different little people by getting them their own little cakes. Besides, it is easier the let them play in theirs while everyone eats a slice.
They are well loved little kids, and were blessed with a lot of new toys,clothes and movies! And let's not forget the tricycles their Great Granddad saw and knew they had to have! They love them and have almost figured out the pedaling! Man! It's going to suck when they figure that out!
Thank you to everyone for your generosity! These two little people are so lucky to have so many people who love them and are in their lives! Thank you!!
