Jessica & Lily Come for a Visit - August 2nd thru August 6th, 2013

June to Aug 2013 761
Jessica & Lily came out in August for a quick visit. We all were elated to see them both to say the least. Travis was so excited to see his cousin that he insisted on riding to the airport with Granddad to pick her up.
It was great to see Jessie & Lily. It had been WAY too long between visits. If you follow this post all the way down to the bottom, you can see the pictures from their last two visits. The last time we had seen them was back in 2009, the year Lily & Travis were born. Its been a while! It was a fast & furious trip but a fun one. I can only hope Jessie & Lily felt the same way.

The first day was so fun! Alana & Hayley came over to hang out once Jessie & Lily arrived. My house was the hang out the first day which was pretty cool!

Alana brought goodies for Lily, it was fun to see how excited both Lily & Travis were over the toys.

This is how most of their time spent here looked. Blurry. The kids were always on the move, bouncing around, full of energy and life. Grandmom was worried that Lily would wear the boys out but I really think the boys kept Lily on her toes.

Like I said, always on the move!

Gwen had a blast too. I think she was relieved that someone else was getting all the attention from her brothers for a change.

Then the rest of the family came to hang out. Josh, Lauren, & Guy came over to hang.

We didn’t see the boys at all really while Lily was here. They spent the night at Grandmom’s every night. They had SO much fun!

We went to the Butterfly Pavilion with Lily & Jessie too. It was fun to see the kiddos reactions to all of those butterflies.

We had so much fun for those four days! It was so good to see Lily and how much she’s grown! It was awesome to see Jessie again, hopefully she’ll come see us more often! 3 years was way too long!

Here are a few photos from her last two visits.

Mom threw a baby shower for Jessica before Lily was born. It was fun to be pregnant at the same time as my sister. What a neat thing to share, having kids born in the same year just a month apart.
June to Aug 2013 005
I don’t know who was more excited about those babies, us or Alana!!!
June to Aug 2013 006
Belly bump!
