During the middle of June the girls and I headed up to Baker to spend a few days with Zack, Nicole, and Tallin while they were up visiting for Jake's mission farewell.
I needed a picture of the kids together for Father's Day gifts. Getting all 3 to sit still and look at the camera was a little tricky-but they are soo cute!
Love these two.
None of us could get enough of adorable baby Tallin. I was always fighting off the girls to hold him.
Grandma and Bostyn got a little baking done too.
Uncle Jake was getting ready to leave for the MTC in a few days.
Bostyn LOVES Tallin. She always had to be where he was...
and always giving him kisses.
She was in baby heaven!
These 3 are so cute together!
While they were here, Zack and Nicole gave Brooklyn her birthday present early.
Brooklyn loves Aunt Nicole's water bottle and always wanted to use it, so they found one just for Brooklyn. She loved it!
One of the days we were there, we headed to the Boise Zoo. We snapped a trio pic before we headed out.
Lucky for us, they had dinosaurs at the zoo!
This picture just makes me laugh.
More dinos. Bostyn wasn't so sure about them.
Seriously can't get enough of this little guy!
Grandma paid for us to all go on the carousel! The girls were in heaven.
Uncle Zack snapped a good picture of all of us!
Brooklyn and the huge T-Rex-she was just a little nervous to stand this close to it.
Bostyn loved seeing all of the animals.
One of my favorite parts of the zoo are the Zebras for sure!
She loved watching the penguins swim by her.
Getting her traditional pressed penny!
We had a little rough patch and Brooklyn had to make a time out pit stop.
She wasn't too happy there for a little bit, but finally snapped out of it.
Bostyn and mommy by the lion.
Aunt Nicole and the girls had fun exploring the tunnels.
This little guy was all tuckered out.
While we were waiting for the butterfly exhibit a lady came by and showed Brooklyn a Walking Stick bug. It was pretty cool!
The butterflies were pretty cool to look at.
Bostyn wasn't so sure about feeding the goats. They made her a little nervous.
Brooklyn on the other hand, loved it!
They are such a cute family!
I had fun spending time with the girls at the zoo- too bad Greg was still home working.
Love him!
Grandma and the girls at the playground.
The girls loved the big curvy slide! They went down it over and over until it was time to leave.
While we were at this area playing, I looked down at the stroller and noticed my camera bag and extra lens were missing. Needless to say I had a mini panic attack and took off to search for it. I said a little prayer and decided to stop at the ticket office and ask if anyone had found a camera bag. The lady at the desk turned around and held up my bag and said "Is this it?" I could have cried I was so relieved and so glad that someone had found it and turned it in, instead of stealing it!
Later on that week, I got to take some 4 month old pics of Tallin.
He is sooooo cute, I could have taken a 1000 pics of him.
We spent a lot of time outside playing. Tallin loved Grandma's swingset.
Aunt Courtney showed off some awesome jumping skills,
and Brooklyn took a turn showing off her tricks.
Greg finally made it to Baker, and all of the guys had a friendly game of basketball.
Brooklyn has some pretty flexible Aunts when it comes to the trampoline. Aunt V is pretty awesome at doing the splits.
More cousin bath time!
That weekend we decided to a nice breakfast for the guys for Father's Day.
A lot of the group chowing down!
This is an older picture, but Greg got a new grill for an early Father's Day present!
Bostyn found a pretty nice wig in the dress up box. She was so funny running around in it all night.
My last night hanging out with Tallin! I sure love having a nephew!
This trip was the first time Greg got to meet Tallin. I am pretty sure he likes the idea of being "Uncle Greg".
Bostyn would seriously squeeze Tallin to death if you let her.
Brooklyn loves being the oldest, and being able to hold Tallin all by herself.
Greg had to go back to Joseph for work Sunday night, and Jake was leaving for the MTC the next morning. This is their last picture together for the next two years.
We stayed one more night so we could say good-bye to everyone before they headed to the MTC and back to Arizona. The girls are really going to miss Uncle Jake!
Our last picture! We miss him lots, but he is one awesome missionary!
