This is Turner and Max playing with my cousin's new dog Ruby. My cousin and his adorable wife have two adorable boys and Lindsay decided that they needed a girl. So they got this adorable boxer puppy. It made me puppy hungry but when you have so many kids, a puppy just isn't practical!
So here are Turner's cousin's that were all born less than six months apart. Turner is the youngest and Taft (the ski shirt) is the oldest. Of course Eliza is the cutest! Poor girl, there were a couple of times that she was a little disappointed that the boys wanted to do boy things and didn't want to play girl games. It broke my heart. 
Ok here is my family, the reason I included this picture is because it is the closest thing I have to pictures of my friends! My dear lifelong friend Lindsay {Glenn} Mellen took this picture for us. We had a couple of days of hanging out with my wonderful friends since birth... or at least grade school. It is fun and crazy when we all get together! Kids everywhere. Of course I can't complain I have the most :) I got to hang out with Laura lots, Lindsay, Janice, Raynee and Sarah. We have 16 kids between us with a few more on the way (there weren't all together at one time but still...) But we just let the kids run around and we chat! Amongst those there are 11 boys and 5 girls.
We saw this sign on the way down... in a little southern Utah town. We laughed and I guess it got our attention :)

The next night we had a chance to celebrate his birthday with a pinata and an amazing train cake. It put my train cake from Turner's 3rd birthday to shame. My sister is wickedly talented, and adorable, and downright perfect.
The birthday boy having a shot at the pinata!
OK so in the middle of the party sequence I have this shot of my cousin Maegan holding Cooper sleeping along with her little girl. She has another bun in the oven and will have a total of 3 kids 2 and a half and younger! This woman is a brave warrior! But as you can tell, she will do just fine. As you can see we didn't have any shortage in people willing to help out with the twins!
Turner taking his turn with the pinata! His cousin Eliza broke it right after him so he was one of the only "big kids" that even got a turn. But you can tell he had never been around a pinata before because as soon as it broke he ran in but quickly ran the other way when the grabbing started going on. I found him back inside crying on the stairs. Luckily he has amazing cousins that quickly opened up their own bags and filled up his in a jiffy!
Max didn't have a hard time getting in there and grabbing candy. He is a little scrapper!

OK and look at this cutie! I mean for real! This is Bridger and will be two soon. His adorable face melts my heart and I can't get enough!
I couldn't leave out this little guy! This is Brock and he is so sweet! I could just eat this guy up! I have to say I don't think it is fair that I live so far away from my nieces and nephews and they have no idea how much I love them! I really just want to bring them all home with me!

The black and white picture of your darling family is ADORABLE!!
looks like they all had fun at the birthday party.
I totally missed out! It was so fun to read about you visiting your family and all of our friends. It has been almost 5 years since I was in Prescott. I wish I had been there. With my parents gone I haven't been able to justify the expense and logistics of a trip. I'm glad to have my parents here but was sad when they left that I wouldn't have a very easy time visiting Prescott. I'm so glad your parents are back and that you got to see so many friends. I wish I could have been there too!
