Love for the Fam

James and I have been able to go visit my family in Beaumont twice already, and I love it! The only kid who wasn't there was Angie, but luckily I get to see her in Utah when we move back.



Then we can make more of these delicious apple filled "dough boys" at her backyard bonfires. =)

And hopefully when James and I move back to Texas, she and Dane will be going there too. My plan is to do whatever it takes to get us all back in Texas.

Right now, Natalie is living at my parents' house until they have a permanent job location for Jeff, and I couldn't be happier! I get to see these lovely ladies PLUS hold my babies whenever I make it down there.





Cute Hannah and Bella. Hannah loves photo shoots.

And James gets to play catch with Isaac because that's all he ever wants to do. Check out his form.



I think Isaac chose the right tutor. James has many impressive forms...





Also, I get to see my favorite Hayes kids!! They are the cutest things ever.







Aubrey, Bitner, Cerra, Devin, and Eva (A,B,C,D,E...who knows how many more!)

Then, we went to the Houston temple. It was great except that Nat, Jeff, and the kids were sick so they couldn't go.



The 4th of July was great. We went out to Vidor and watched AMAZING performances by my cousins' kids. During the talent show, James asked me if it was okay if our kids just did sports. haha I think he was a little overwhelmed by it all. I'll be happy if our kids get his athletic talent!



Can't wait for our next visit home. It will be for Sabrina's wedding reception!
