Texas Trip- (part 2)

 (Continued from previous post)-On Thursday we got the awesome news that Tyson and Valerie and their kiddos were going to come join in on the fun for a few days. They drove in on Friday night from Biloxi, MS when Kelli and Shaun were driving back from Destin. It couldn't have worked out more perfect!! Mema and Grandpa were headed to Kat and Sam's new place in Tennessee on Sunday so it all worked out. We packed up Saturday morning at Mema's house and headed to the other side of Houston to play at Kelli and Shaun's for the next week of our trip. I was SOOO excited that Tyson and Val were there too and so happy that all our kids got to be together. They had a BLAST! It was a little nuts with 10 kids and 6 adults all in one house(poor Kelli) for a few days but it was also TOTALLY worth EVERY MINUTE!!! Thanks Kelli and Shaun for hosting all of the craziness!! 













 Sweet Natalia with the BEST BIG Brown eyes you will ever see!!! Love her!



 Beautiful red-heads Kyndra and Alexa! Love these girls and their red hair!

 And these were taken with Uncle Tyson's cool camera lens. It was so fun playing with this cute little guy as my model. Andric is Nikoli's little clone... Such a cutie! LOVE HIM!! and miss him already!!


 Little Studs. Nikolai and Zach were so happy to have each other!


 Kelli and I squeezed in a little GNO of course! I just have to say I am SO grateful for this sister and all she did for us while we stayed...not to mention it was totally last minute and now she is taking care of Mark while he still works in Houston for a couple months. You are the BEST Kelli!! Love you so much!!

 And on the road back to Cali...this little girl was not our favorite traveler. She did very little sleeping like the above pic. And somehow always got what she wanted...milkshakes and all...probably just to keep her quiet...

 We made a fun stop in Phoenix on our way home to see my long lost BYU roommate and bestie Heidi!! We hung out at Heidi's for the afternoon and the kids had a great time swimming and playing while Heidi and I visited. It was so great to see her and Joseph and their adorable family as well as their new home they had just moved into the week before all after just having a new baby #4!!! Heidi has been busy!!  We ate pizza and then hit the road again for a few more hours til we stopped for the night in SoCal. It was SO great to see Heidi! Miss you already girl!!!
