Fun Weekend with Family

My sister Katie came for a visit this weekend and it was definately much needed. She lives in Utah and we have missed her so much. We had a BBQ at my brother Ray's house and about 3/4 of our siblings were there! It's almost impossible to get everyone together when you have such a big family. My Dad is now living in Colorado, so he wasn't there either. Anyhoo, here is Ben having fun at Ray's house!

And here is Liam, Becca's youngest.

Here are Ray, Katie and me. Becca and Phil had already left by this time so that's why they aren't in the picture.

Isaac just loves Katie and he talkes about her all the time, eventhough he hardly ever see's her. Everytime he sees the mountains when we are riding in the car, he says "Let's drive in those mountains and go see Aunt Katie".

Here's just a fun picture of Tom and me with Ben. I'm not sure where Isaac was at the time, probably playing with the cousins.

Isaac and Ben are giving Katie a good-bye hug. So sweet.

Here is my best friend and hubby Tom at the grill cooking our dinner. It was so good. We had hamburgers and hotdogs and chicken (the usual BBQ stuff)! Isn't he sexy?!

We don't get pictures of the three of us very often, now that Katie isn't living close. Becca and I miss her and sometimes have a hard time because we are just so used to it being the "3 of us". We are definatley best friends and help eachother through the hard times. And now that my mom is gone, it is even more important that we stay close. We love all of our sisters and cherish them with all our hearts, there is just something special about us three. It was a great weekend to spend with everyone. I am sad to see it end.
