This is what makes me happy

I love spending time with family! Being with them makes me realize how much I miss having family close by. I loved seeing Ben and Jack play with their cousin. I loved spending time with my sister. I loved seeing how happy my parents were to be with their grandsons.

Our first night there, the boys all eating pumpkin pie



It's a scary thought that Ben is the "leader" of this pack of boys



Having the 3 boys together made her so happy. Just wait until she has all 4 boys together!



oh my, they are so cute together!




The 3 boys played for so long on the slide in Luke's room







The boys discovered the light switch and thought it was funny to turn the lights off on us. The next two pictures were taken when it was pitch black in the room.



Luke snuck into our bed


Ben and Jack had fun throwing "stinky" socks at grandpa





About to go outside to make s'mores on the fire pit



It was freezing out there!


Jack didn't last long and then after awhile, Ben informed me that I had to go inside because it was "boy" time out there










Ben and Jack opening of Christmas presents from Sarah, Chad and Luke



Look how excited Jack is


We spent time with my grandparents. I always enjoy seeing them.


Ben and Jack's favorite thing to do while visiting them, ride on the golf cart


This is probably what it would be like if we had another baby... 3 boys!


We spent the night up at my mom's house. Besides the windy roads to get up there, we all really enjoy it.


The boys fed peanuts to the birds






There was some cold mountain air up there



Jack helping Tom fill up the bird feeder with peanuts


The next night we spent at my dad's house



Ben opening up birthday gifts



We sure our lucky to have a great family (on both sides). Ben and Jack have so many people who love them.
