Road Trip

The girls and I took a quick road trip at the end of June.  We didn't have much time with anyone but we loved seeing as many people as we did!

First stop, cousins in Lovelock, NV

We love the Banks.  

It was great to see Aunt Sheila, it has been a couple years since I hugged her!

Oh how I miss this family!!!  Natty was my roommate in college and we have been great friends ever since.

Next stop Boise, ID

In Boise we met John's fiance Courtney Oswald and help celebrate their engagement with a bridal shower. Courtney is a great addition to the family!

We were so happy to see Cooper!!!!  It feels like forever since we have been able to hug on him!  

Cousins are the best!  Heather, Lainee, & Cooper

It was over 104 degrees and we were melting!!!!  

So nice that Idaho is not in a drought!  Sprinklers make everything better.

The next stop was just 10 minutes away, more cousins!  

We were able to see 2 of my cousins, Kara and Karissa and their families.  They are so lucky to live so close to each other, just 5 minutes away. 

The girls loved playing with Emmaline & Emery.  We love little people!!!

Aly & Heather reading to Emery, all such lucky girls.

The much anticipated stop in PROVO!!!!

Aubrey & Aly ready for EFY.  I Love that they had this experience together.  

Great friends are a blessing!

Final stop before Heather & I headed home, SLC Martineau's and more cousins!

Talie & I playing on the tramp with Louie.  

We definitely miss out living so far away from all the cousins!!!  We love all of them so much!

On the road home! 

Last stop before home was back in Lovelock for a nap and a shake.

The girls are great traveling buddies!  Lets do it again soon!!
