I'm finally home!- Fun with my Side of the family

You know I've been busy when I only have 1 blog post in July and it's already the 18th! Almost exactly one month ago Teagan and I left for a 2 week trip up north to see family. We had a blast! Then I came home and literally DOVE into planning girls camp (I was the director kind of). I was planning treasure hunts, skits, devotionals and everything else day and night. Then the next week (last week) I spent up at camp having a blast.

Everything was so fun, but I'm VERY VERY excited to try to get back onto a daily routine with a clean house and, of course, blogging!

I only have time for a little bit so I'll start with the pictures of the fun with my mom and all her grandbabies. We stayed with my Grandma Packer in Idaho Falls for a few days and had a reunion with everybody there. My mom LOVED having all of her kids and grandkids together and so did I.

The kids LOVED jumping on the extra bed's at my brother Brian's house. They played downstairs forever!
We used to live next to my grandma so it was SO fun to see her again and walk down memory lane as we drove past our old apartment. We always get spoiled with jello, yummy soups, cake, and of course her famous oatmeal raisin cookies. Thanks grandma!

One morning we went to my brother Jake and his wife Angie's home to have a yummy breakfast and play in their pool and sandbox. The kiddos loved it! The thing that amazes me is the number of toddlers! There weren't even enough stools for all of them. Zac was trying to keep these three's bowls full of food and as you can see by the expressions, Zac was analyzing the food and Jeff was really impressed with Zac's abilities.

My lovely sisters and lovely son, Teagan's trying to pose like Julie I think.

All of my mom's grandbabies, aren't they adorable!


My mom is the master of age appropriate activities. She got a long tube and about 30 bouncy balls. Teagan and Kate LOVED it! Plus it was super cheap, she is brilliant! I liked it too. How can you go wrong with 30 bouncy balls?

We had so much fun. We did a lot of hanging out while waiting for naps, but that is just the nature of a bunch of kids 2 and under! I can't wait for the day when we all live on the same street and everyday is a family reunion. I seriously LOVE my family!

Posts to come: Fun with Zac's side of the family, my dad's side, random pictures and maybe girls camp if I'm feeling up to it.
