We are finally back home (for a couple of weeks anyway), and are glad to be OUT OF THE CAR! When we got home from St. George a couple of weeks ago we found out that Ruffin's cousin moved up his wedding a couple of months so we went to Provo to that... It was great, I always love to go to sealings and think about my wedding day:)! While we went to the wedding Olivia kept our girls overnight and they had a blast with their Aunt (they had mixed emotions about coming with me when it was time to go.)
We came home for a couple of days literally and then got back in the car to go to St. George. Ruffin's brother Verle is going on a mission to Orlando, Florida and their sister Kami is going to Brazil. So this past Sunday they both talked in Church and it was really good. They both are really excited to go, Kami leaves November 5th and Verle leaves December 10th. They both will be great missionaries!
And of course a few pictures;)
I took this picture while driving, don't worry I didn't even swerve and there wasn't a car in sight. Emme fell asleep while eating something, it is always so funny to watch her try so hard to keep eating while fading fast asleep:)

We stayed in Provo on our way to St. George. While there we love to stop and see Grandpa Juan and Grandma Alma. Grandma Alma is always so sweet to offer us something to eat and is so hospitable. Grandpa Juan is quite sick but has not lost his sense of humor, he had me laughing quite a few times... We love them both!

Emme was exhausted by the time we took this picture, this was the best we could get!

This picture illustrates how much fun Gracee and Emme have a Grandma Judd's House! It doesn't hurt that they have 6 Aunts there that dote on them, swing on the swings with them, and jump on the tramp with them. Needless to say they don't want much to do with me while there and they have tons of fun!

We celebrated Rebecca's birthday on Friday the 24th. We love you Becca!

One of the Judd's friends brought over a bag of pomegranates that he grew in his backyard. I ate two all by myself and shared a few... I love pomegranates! I can hardly imagine being able to pick them from my backyard, wouldn't that be nice!

Gracee, Emme and Eliza. My girls love their little cousin Eliza, Emme was pleased to get a hug!

Marci, I am sure that it was Eliza's idea to sit in the flowers;)

Emme was grateful to Uncle Sean who helped her get in this really small space. It was fun until Austin tried to close it really tight, which just didn't quite work.

Verle and Kami soon to be missionaries.

Some of the family that came to hear them speak. Lots of family came from AZ and it was fun to see all of them!

Having fun with family ALWAYS goes by TOO quickly and the weekend was over before we knew it. On the way home we stopped at Grandma Alma's again and she let the girls pick some pumpkins.

This picture is so funny because the real reason behind Gracee's disgruntled face was not because of the fact she couldn't get the pumpkin off the vine but because a kitten was quickly approaching... I admit I DO NOT like cats but I haven't tried to persuade my girls either way.
They do love Sammy the dog that is always at Grandma Alma's door step and were so excited that Grandma had stuff they could feed him.

We are glad to be home but love and miss our family already!

Okay, don't Verle and Kami know that they are just little kids and they can't possibly be old enough to go on missions! CRAZY! They were just little last time I saw them. I'm old. But Ruffin is older.
So glad you've reentered the blogging world!! I've missed you but it's been fun to see you the past couple of weeks!!
I don't know how you guys manage to fit so much traveling into your schedule! :) It's always a party at your house!! I don't know if I've ever mentioned how cute I think it is that your girls are dressed alike so much. Love it Liz! I miss you... maybe we should get together for a playdate soon!!
Ha Ha! I'm so glad to have a sister-in-law who is an amazing photographer (professional or not, in her own mind). I am displeased with myself for lack of photos already, BUT the videos may someday redeem Auntie Marci. I can't wait for Gracee to be old enough to appreciate that. =) Love you and miss you too!
I have a Grandma Alma too!
What a great family.
