Same George

We went to see my sister this weekend. Raychel loved visiting everyone in "Same George." They loved visiting the Temple Grounds. When we were leaving to drive home, Anna says "I doe dempo." That means, "I want to go to the Temple." Yes, Yvonne, I am lucky enough to have a cave woman child too!

The girls were mesmerized by the statue of Christ. Such tender, innocent spirits!

Of course we wanted all the kids to join us for this picture, but they were too busy checking it all out. Amanda, all I can say is "TWIN SKIN!" Yikes.

Grant is the best Uncle in the world! He plays so good with his nieces and nephews. They all idolize him (especially Jacob). This is one of their favorite games...dog pile.

Leah and her BFF: Papa. This girl worships the ground he walks on. In her eyes, he can do no wrong. By the way, that's lip gloss she has by her mouth. She just kept going around and around and around her mouth.
Leah: My Little Addict. This girl LOVES her "Diet Tote." Like mother like daughter, I guess. She is always so intense when she drinks. Nana always makes sure to have the caffeine free diet tote on hand for the grandkids. Another Diet Tote picture. One of the nice things about visiting Utah is a lot of restaurants have caffeine free diet coke. Needless to say the Roylance girls were in heaven! Here Leah has her two most prized possessions with her: Papa and Diet Tote.
My lovely Snow White diving into a delicious, sweet cupcake. Nana bought everyone costumes to play pretend in. They have proven to be the best investment ever!
TinkRaychel is always so apprehensive to try new things (even a cupcake). She had this perplexed face in every picture I took. This brings us to the topic of the "pink spot dress." This did not come off her body the entire trip. She truly believes she is royalty. She learned to curtsy this weekend too. Very proper. As you can see in the background, we were luck enough to mingle with Spiderman and Superman!
Squeeb Nation! Yes, Raychel HAD to wear that dress home. She HAD to wear her skeleton crocs. Nevermind the fact that is was 40 degrees outside. A girl must always choose fashion over comfort. What you can't see is her mouth covered in chocolate or the chocolate stains all over the dress. One of our gassing up stops.

SO tired! The girls were absolutely amazing on the the 10 hour drive. I can't complain at all. They took a good three hour nap on the ride home. The twins even stayed asleep while we gassed up.
Raychel always sleeps with her eyes half opened. Now you can see the chocolate ring around her mouth.

Family is such a wonderful blessing! We are so fortunate to be surrounded by people we love and people who love us. I'm so glad my parents talked me into coming along. I was a little nervous to take all three girls without James to help (he was deer hunting), but it was such a smooth trip. Amanda, you house is gorgeous! I'm so glad you let us stay and make a mess. Raychel already misses Jacob. I put this song "Home" on because "no matter what, no matter where, it's always home if love is there."
