Sister Love

I am sitting here going through all the pictures I took while my little sister Brittany and her family were here. I have a little lump in my throat that they left this morning. We had such a lovely week sharing our home and city with them. It was a treat and I am sad that our week together is over.

I am blessed with a very close family and it is hard to live so far away from all of them. Brittany and I shared a room for years and lived within 5 minutes of each other until just last year when she moved to Seattle and I moved to Tennessee. So you can imagine what a happy reunion this was for us! We would find ourselves giggling like we were little girls again and hugging for no reason! We were so happy to be together!

Sweet little Gabe, I was there to help welcome him into the world... I love this little guy!

I was in heaven lovin' on this little lady! This was the outfit I picked out for her when she was born. Nyah is so cute--I could not get enough of those smiles! What a bundle of pure LOVE!

Two of "3 Amigos" (as Grandpa calls the three cousins all born within months of each other). Cannon and Gabe had a blast together! We missed you Wesley!

What a beautiful Mama and daughter! I am not kidding when I say that this little girl is always happy and quick to break into a huge smile whenever you talk to her. It is precious!


I really can not tell you what a delight it was to have them here! It meant so much to have them come from all the way across the country and use their resources, flight miles and vacation time to visit us. What an honor:)

I have many more pictures to share of all of our adventures in Chattanooga! More to come, but I better get to bed. I came down with a horrible cold today and have tried to lay low in hopes that I will better by tomorrow! Moms can not be sick, you know?!

Menu Monday tomorrow! And I am getting out my fall decor this week! Yeah for fall!

I heart my sisters

This was my birthday lunch with two of my darling little sisters. We went to the Thanksgiving Point Trellis Cafe. We ate on the patio overlooking the gorgeous gardens. Every where I looked was beauty--the flowers , the food and mostly these two women! Thanks so much you two! I Love you! We missed you Erin and Amy--wish you could have been there too!

Have you BEAN here??

We went to the Bean Museum over at one of our favorite places ...BYU campus.

It was delightful to spend the day with my beloved sisters (missed you Erin) and their sweet little boys. Let me tell you, the boys were in heaven pointing out all the amazing animals and were especially excited to touch a few real live reptiles! Perfect outing for boys!

After we enjoyed some hot off the grill lunch and famous BYU ice cream at the Creamery! Yum!! All this before Coleman had to go to Kindergarten.

Happy time had by all!

Bridger is LOVING the food!
