labor day vacation to honor heather's labor day

In other words, we just spent 4 days in California visiting family in honor of my sister-in-law's family and their brand new twin boys.  How sweet are these guys?!

Incidentally, this is how Sean could be found most of the weekend.  He loved those little babies so much!  (and they took quite well to him too!)

Now I have to apologize to Heather, but for most of these shots, I'm not sure if we've got Jordan or Joey-I'm sure she knows-but just know that whoever it is we're holding, we're so happy they are in our family and growing strong!  (6 weeks old and at about 7 lbs right now)

I wasn't very good at taking pictures this year-really only one day worth-but here are some of the best of the bunch.

 

I took this one in the middle of church.  Don't judge.  It was just so sweet.  Uncle Jason gave the boys beautiful blessings, and both so different.  He later bore his testimony (and so did Cameron) so it was a lovely Sacrament meeting.

 

Here's the whole group!  Lots of grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins in there!

Great Grandma with the boys.

 

Grandma and Grandpa's turn.  This is Dan's Dad. . . can you see the family resemblance?

 

And our little family, all looking (or not looking) at different cameras.

All 15 grandkids.  Isn't this a great shot?  You can certainly see some personality in there!

The stars of the weekend.  (and guess what, they're not even identical twins, they're fraternal!  crazy huh?)

I think I have Jordan. . . ?

 

This little sweetheart was quite a star of the weekend as well!  (she and Sean got along really well too!)  She's grown so big and so cute since we attended her baby blessing in San Diego last March!

Next up, some swimming!  I didn't get pics of everyone, but just about. . .

 

And then some diving and launching. . .

  Brianna totally looks like she's walking on water after this launch!

 

We finished up by breaking in the firepit and making smores.  Mine were made out of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (thanks, Lorie, I finally did it and they were divine!!) and ohhhh my gosh.  No joke, I gained 6lbs this weekend!

We had a fabulous time!  Not pictured, attending the kids' football games, babysitting the twins, huge delicious lunch at Heather's, dove hunting for all the guys, pizza at Me and Ed's, and more.

What did you do this past Labor Day weekend?

**also shout-out to my AZ sister-in-law Kelly who had her second baby this past week.  Madi was born on Tuesday and already weighs more than Joey and Jordan!**
