Pieces of me...

Taking a trip back home is one of the B E S T parts of my summer.
We always go over the 4th of July.  It's my favorite.
 
We usually stop in at Kristin's.  She and John are always so kind to let us crash at their home.  We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday in their ward and felt so lucky that we have remained friends with such a great family.  Plus they have a gorgeous view of the mountains right from the comfort of their yard.  And I always end up with a yummy recipe from Kristin.

Taking flowers to mom's grave is always tender.  And catching a moment when my dad was telling a story about the time Grandpa Stauffer shot a buck and carried him down that mountain back into town was priceless.
Dinner or lunch at Maddox is a must and goodness gracious...It's a meal I look forward to each and every summer.
 

But the highlight is always spending time with the girls.  My twin nieces had babies just weeks apart and cuddling them was oh so sweet.  My brothers married the sweetest girls, had sweet girls of their own and they each have been blessed with their own sweet girls.  This visit made me miss my sweet girl and wished she could have joined us.  We got lots of sweetness going on!

Amazing that I was the only girl in my family and now we out number the boys!

Thanks for the shout out. We love having you come by. On a side note, Grace just saw the picture of you holding the two babies and asked if you had twins. :) How about it?
