A side trip to Boise

When we left Layton, Mike headed to Stockton, CA and the kids and I headed to Boise for some family time.  My Mom arranged for pictures for the grand kids the next day.  They all had matching shirts, the girls in red and the boys in blue.  We had added two new babies since the last family picture 2 years ago.  Mikayla and Maggie.  I still need to download the photos of all the grandkids, there are 16 total!


But I snapped a bunch of my kids while we were waiting for our family turn.  They crack me up!
We were able to be in Boise for the 4th of July.  Caleigh organized a parade and Gpa followed along behind them with music playing.  That night the kids and I snuck away to watch the fireworks over Boise with Gma and Gpa Peterson and Uncle Jeff.  They have the best view of the valley from their home and we love watching the fireworks and chatting with them.  



Here's the two newest additions to our crazy clan.  Maggie on the left and "Micki" on the right.  They were a crack up with the fuse ball table.  They looked like they knew what they were doing.  They are both so cute and we were in heaven playing with them.  What cuties!



 I love this photo of Max and Caleigh.  It says it all.  We just love being together.  The cousins all got along great and we had so much fun being together and laughing, talking, playing Words With Friends, eating, and catching up on each other's lives.  What a great time, we can't wait to be able to drive (yeah, we are close enough to drive) home more often now.

Plus the kids couldn't get enough of swimming with Gpa Tom and visiting with Gma Frankie.  We love our family!
