Missoula Reunion: Part 2

One of the best parts about getting together with family, sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews is that my kids LOVE to be with their cousins. I love nothing more than to have good playmates for Hinder. (And to get a break from being the constant playmate!) The week in Missoula was no exception!

Hinder adores his Aunt Koda. She's the best babysitter/2nd mom.

Adorable Pierce! I miss his hilarious comments. He and Hinder are just a day apart and they play just as boys know how. My dream is to live near enough that these two get to grow up together- play on the same teams, go to the same schools, stick up for each other, and keep each other in line. Wouldn't that be just awesome!

 Sweet little Vyla! She was in absolute heaven with so many kids around her. We didn't hear a peep out of her the entire week!

 Beautiful Olivia Eve. She's just so pretty! Drew and Lara will have their hands full, for sure. She's a quiet one, but she knows how to boss those boys into doing anything she wanted!

 And of course, Archer! Sweetest little boy. We miss having him over to our house and hearing his sweet little voice.

And who can forget this kid?! He's just a ball of ideas, words, and energy.

 The cabin we stayed at was picturesque. Lots of space, mountains in the background, and horses to feed right across the lawn.

Everyone together!

 The hot tub was a big hit. The kids got in and out at least 37 times per day.  I love that kids can run, get dirty, stay barefoot and shirtless all day in the summer

Archer had his second birthday party the Sunday of our reunion! Seems like he was just born last week. I can't believe how fast all these littles are growing.

My favorite moments were by the fireside. Quiet and peaceful, just conversations and laughs.

I'm forever grateful we had this time to hang together before our big move!
