My cousin, Nadine, and her family came up to enjoy an AK trip.

They stopped by for dinner and here Jack is enjoying Melinda reading to him. Heather and Julianne are just reading to each other :)

Just before this dinner, we were coming home and a yearling moose walked across our yard. There's your AK experience for ya!

COMPLETELY chillin' out here.
The Hoods + glasses.

Picnic at the club

The structure that Jack spent the bulk of his time in. Picnic was in June.

Missouri - to Sheryl's house

At the hotel before flying home in the morning.

Kisses for cousins.

Chaotic, at best.

Abby - a little tomboy!

Dwyer was *almost* hitting his mouth with his food.

Am I cute or what?

We LOVED our 2 wks in the midwest. Seeing more family and LOTS of kid time.

I had over 300 pics, so just had to pick and choose some of my favs.

Thank you mom and dad, Barb and Greg, Lani and Craig and Sheryl for letting us come crash at your houses. It was truly a blessing to see you all.

Moving south in our trip

Beautiful cousin Lani with her nephew (my cousin Shawn's son), Jasper.

A-DOR-A-BLE.

What happens when you take boys shopping.

Boys will be boys...Gavyn, Kekoa, Lincoln and Jack

Kekoa making Jack laugh. It was pretty cute.

Few more pics from our IA trip

Aunt Cathy's car. And no, Jack did not get to ride like that.

Jack enjoyed his first ride in a tractor.

More of our visit on my cousin Lani's blog at http://alohafromthemidwest.blogspot.com The little video she has of Jack meeting my cousin's son, Lincoln (who's a week older than Jack), is quite cute.
