Roadtrips are surprisingly painless now that we have the van. Both kids did great on the drive there and home.

Ryanna liked the horse from a distance while Quinten wanted to feed the horse his hand.
Grumpy, I mean Grandpa, actually smiled! He calls Quinten Oscar.......I know! But what can you do?!?!
Jared and his girlfriend Ali spent lots of time with us. The kids especially enjoyed their company. Ryanna could be heard quizzing Ali on her colors and then we'd hear "Good job!"
Pool is a favorite pasttime when hanging out at Grandpa Don and Grandma Pat's house.
Sunday dinner - how I love thee. Let me count the ways....
So much of my childhood was spent with my grandparents at their home. I was excited to see that Brian took pictures of their home, inside and out.

This picture makes me realize that Quinten is getting to be more of a toddler and less of a little baby. :( Sometimes tough for a Mommy to admit.
The women are usually found in the kitchen having INCREDIBLY important discussions. I won't get into them because they might blow your mind.
We had a little birthday party for Ryanna who will be turning 3 in February. Thanks Mom for the cute cake and Janet and Mal for the perfect presents! Is my help blowing out the candles too obvious??
Like usual Quinten spent some quality time with Mal and took a nap on her. Can't wait for the wedding Mal!!
Birthday girl.
I never expected the weather to be soooo gorgeous and NO snow! So beautiful.

Glad to hear you had a great time. I'm glad the new van helped in your travels. So are you loving it? Is there anything you don't like about it or anything I should know before buying one? We aren't going to get one yet, but are thinking about it in the future, if things play out the way we hope. Hope you are doing well!! Thanks for sharing all the cute pictures!
very very cute!!!! Miss you tons!!
looks like you had a great time. So glad you did!! Family is the best.
We must have just missed each other! Dang! I was home for the week with my kids. Next time :) Glad you love your new van...I'm so jealous! We have a tiny car and our kids are so tall that their feet are being scrunched. Someday....*sigh*
Oh, the pictures of the kids are so cute! Thanks for coming over and visiting and for bringing me treats! You are so sweet!
Wow- they are getting to be so big! That is insane!
This makes me miss my short time with Rancher Don and Pat. I spent a good amt of time in that dining eating 3 squares a day from Pat while Don cracked wise. I loved my time up there. All because of you!
