Party in Kansas

Spring break and off to Kansas we went to see all the cute kiddies and their parents. Little Jack's personality endeared him to us right away.

Grace and Raegan loved to play UNO. They especially loved to play the "wild cards" and the "draw two's" on Grandma.

Uncle Matt got to meet Jack for the first time. Everyone was so excited to welcome Matt home from his mission. His little nieces even made him a sign and greeted him at the airport.
Grace and Raegan have a pretty cool "Barbie" house and play room. What a fun place for Grandma to stay.

Here's sweet Madison, who was so excited to see us and gave us lots of hugs and kisses.

Riley shared her toys with her cousins and the other girls had fun playing games with Matt.

Anyone up for a game of "Butt Head?" The girls had a great time throwing balls at Paul.

Then we discovered how fun it is to play "Ticket to Ride." Natalie taught us how to win when her little red trains took over the board.

Riley, Grace, Brinley, and the best dog in the world.


"Happy Birthday Bryan!" We all went to lunch at a delicious Kansas BBQ.

Bryan and Jamie are such loyal fans of their sports teams. BYU, K State, and KU were fun to follow in the basketball tournament. BYU was playing during our lunch party.



Emilee, Brinley and Alix had a memorable spring break week.

Then off we went to Independence and Liberty Jail for a church history experience.

Alix helped me knead the dough for some delicious cinnamon rolls...always a tradition when visiting Kansas.

We had some fun in the sun while it lasted...


Jack loved Gill.

Then all too soon, it snowed! There was after all, one more day of winter.

Brinley, Matt and I boarded a plane and made it home once again. Amber and Heather picked us up around midnight and the party continued. After a few stops, including pancakes and hot chocolate, we made it home around 4 a.m.

Good times! Great memories!
