Idaho cousins...

my kids and I spent the weekend with my sister Rachel's family in Idaho for my niece Lauren's Graduation!  It was so fun, packed with BBQ's, swimming, bike riding, I touch texting, Basketball games and lots of cereal eating.  haha

Lauren was one of 11 kids in her class to graduate with the highest honor "Summa Cum Laude" {gold cords} grade point average of 3.9 and above.  Not only is she beautiful but she is a little Smartie pants as well!!  She is coming out here in the Fall to BYU!  Yahoooo...

We loved spending time with all the cousins. I think i always shed a tear when i leave my Sister...  
We were so excited to come home and see our Dad though.
