Cousins, A Birthday, and a Little Fun

This last week we went and visited all sorts of friends and family.  It was so much fun.  We took Ben to Logan on Saturday and visited his great Uncle Lee and his Aunt.  Then we stayed  in a hotel.  This kids thought this was Christmas all over again.  The next morning Ben left early for work and I got up with the kids and we ate breakfast.  It was a decent breakfast.  They had waffle and the such to cook.  We then took off for Idaho Falls.  We stopped here for lunch and some fun time  with Brynlee, Emily and Lauren.

There was plenty of space for the kids to get out all their wiggles.

Bryn love to play with balls. Eli and her got a long great as long as they didn't want the same ball.

Pretty girl

 We drove from Idaho Falls straight to Dillon, Montana, where we visited Lindsey, Montanna and Eden.  It was fun for everyone. Lydia and Montana played so well together.  Lydia went through all of Montana's clothes. She wanted to try on all her dress.  They had fun playing with the toys and playing pretend. Especially with all the baby doll stuff.

Funny faces. Montanna didn't want her picture taken and Lydia didn't know that I was taking her picture.

Montanna still pretending that I have a camaera and Lydia posing like she owned the place.

These next pictures are a bit repetitive but have so much personality.

The three beautiful girls.

I can almost imagine what they are thinking. Montanna,

"Hide me not a picture." Lydia,"Can we done yet ?" Eden and Eli,
"How are you?"

After Linsdey's we went to my sister Chrystal's house.  I will have to get pictures from her house because my camera died.  Lydia and Eli had fun there too, of course, cause they partied all week.  My brother John came over  while we where there.  The kids ran around the house chasing him like a crazy man.  After things were settling down I noticed Lydia holding Eli's hand and leading him around the house.  Then she brought him over to John and traded him for a stick horse like they were both getting a great deal. 

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!

For Ben's birthday Les and Cam came down and babysat Lydia and Eli while we went out to eat.  It was the sweetest gift that Ben and I thoroughly enjoyed. We went out to 

Rio Rodizio's grill.

 A Brazilian resturaunt that serve you as much meat as you want.  Ben's dream meal.  Les made cupcakes while we were gone.  When we got back we frosted them and ate ice cream and cupcakes for dessert.  The  kids loved it. Aubrey and Lydia have so much fun together.  What fun cousins she has  to grow up with.

Happy that he finally got his cupcake and of course decorated with the best sprinkles.

Enjoying the cupcakes they just frosted! They had more fun eating them.

Big Brown eyes! Love them!

The only picture I got of Ben on his day. So I had to post it.  It might disappear later if he notices it.

Say Cheese.  This was tonight.  He has sure got a funny cheese grin  when you tell him to smile.

A  funny video also from today. Eli cheesing it up and doing his head bonk.  That's how he gets laughs.  He was doing it all week everywhere we went. Lydia is singing Chimney Chimney Ru from Mary Poppins. Classic.  I got the camera after her first performance so this one is  kind of goofy.  In her first performance she was crossing her legs and pretending to hold a stick (Chimney Sweep).
