Labor Day 2009!

Labor Day is one of our favorite weekends of the year. This is my cute parents that make the weekend possible for so many of us to get together. We try to extend it by a day or two if possible. This year was no different, we left Wednesday night after school/work and got home late Monday night. My Mom and Dad had to leave the weekend before so they could have alone time before all of us show up. We go up to the mountains (the White Mountain area) in New Mexico on the New Mexico/Arizona border. I grew up there and didn't appreciate the beauty until I was gone. This was our 3rd trip up there this summer, partly because I needed out of the heat, and also the kids and Jeff love it up there. Caelin and Jace asked me if we could live up there, I could handle the summer but I don't like the cold so winter would be an issue. I told them though that they had a much better school to go to, and the fact Jeff couldn't make a living up there. They will have to settle for our weekend getaways during the summer. Jett loves it the most (if that is possible) he follows his Dad around where ever he goes and helps when ever he can. If his Dad leaves and he is not with him he gets a little upset. Just a few pictures of them and what they love to do together.


This is also a great time with cousins. Here is a little clip of Jace and his cousin Devon, Jace is the one on the blue quad.


They all had a great time, but with so much play time and not enough sleep we were all wiped out Tuesday and Wednesday. This is how Jett got his naps during the day, he was too dirty to put in his bed and to ornery to even try and take a nap when he was with his Dad.

Jett, playing in the dirt like true little "boys".

Thanks Mom and Dad for such an amazing weekend. We all enjoyed it so much and can't wait until next year and celebrate 45 years with you and hopefully we will all be there.
