We wanted to see as many friends and family members as we could, and it just happened that Aunt Tobi was hosting a dinner for all her kids that night and let us tag along. It was so fun to catch up with Tobi and Scott and 4/5 of their kids. I treasure the moments I get to spend with my mom's sisters, I see so much of her in them.
Monday morning, July 31 was so exciting. We were going to spend the middle of the day with our beloved Tracys who also happened to be in Utah visiting family.
The Megans...
Candy and Kenzie...
Jack and Mal-mal...
Brooke and Maddie...
Emily and Tanner...
Look at those 10 happy kids!
We met them at a park and then eventually made our way back to the Aird's house for more food and celebrating Ashley's birthday with some cupcakes. Oh how we love to be with the Tracys. Ashley is due in about 10 weeks with....another girl! I'm a little sad I won't get to be there for her when this baby comes. We helped each other so much as we each welcomed kids #2-5 and I wish we could do more for #6!
That night for family night we met up with Spencer and the kids at another park for pizza and playing. The kids played so nicely and despite some hot temperatures, it was nice in the shade and we had a great time.

Jack with his sweaty, spiky hair and his lighting mcqueen shoes. 3 is such a fun age. Oh I love that kid!
After all those parks, we took is easy on Tuesday August 1 while Dan worked remotely. He did that again on August 2, so we headed with Grandma and cousin Sarah up to the museum at Hill Air Force Base. It was really fun to see all the planes up close.

After the museum, we headed to play at Heather's house and the kids had so much fun with the tramp and sprinkler and water balloons.

Then for dinner we headed to Ben and Eboni's basement apartment (at her parents' house) for some bbq and hanging out...
Brothers and their babies...
On Thursday Aug. 4 it was our Maren day! Wahoo! We met up with Maren and her kids at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. That is a really cool museum and we had so much fun checking it out. I love that all of our kids match up and get along really well. Sadly, Brigham was sick so he missed out.
Anna and Candy
Brooke and Ben
9 kids! Jack, Candy, Emily, Brooke, Anna, Ben, James, Sarah, Megan
The water play area has these printed smocks and water boots and I thought they were so cute.
Emily and James. Two little blondies.
We enjoyed a picnic lunch outside and then went back in for ice cream cones that were cheap that day.

Maren took a pic of our whole fam...
The next day, August 5 we swung by in the morning and visited Grandma Great. We love her sweet smile and her joy over being with the kids. She gets tired pretty quickly, so we were only there for about 30 minutes, but we loved being with her.
That night we had a get together at a park with Dan's cousins who grew up in Oregon. It was fun to see them and get to know them better.
