How much fun can you pack into one trip?!!!

A lot of fun! We did so much....

We made a trip home to Idaho this past weekend and had a great time seeing everyone. We came home mostly because my side of the family was having a little mini-reunion of sorts. "A baby party" is what Tyler called it--there were 4 new babies to show off. :)

Tauphus (sp?) park has an awesome new playground with musical instruments and these spinning seat things, which Ashtyn couldn't get enough of.

And here are the babies! From left-to-right (and oldest-to-youngest) is my little Corinne, my cousin Sarah's boy Henry, my brother Derek's boy Jaxe, and my cousin Jana's little girl Elena.

It was so nice to be able to come home and see everyone. I was a bit tired of feeling like we were the ones left out of all the parties!! Now that we're close enough, it wasn't too bad of a trip (about 6.5 hours unless you have kids, then it might end up 10 hours as it did for us on the way home. 'Course, Ashtyn had car sickness and was vomitting....It was an awesome drive, let me tell you).

My pretty, pretty baby.

Eatin' watermelon at Gma and Gpa Mayo's.

And playing the piano--one of Ashtyn's favorite things. Of course, the trampoline is pretty fun. And the picnic party we went to. And the ginea pigs....

Ashtyn's very own bouncy castle! My mom borrowed from a friend. It was perfect for Ashtyn, not only because she had a blast like any kid would, but also because she's always been too timid and nervous about all the other kids that are in bouncy castles. Now she got to try it without worrying about being knocked all around.

sheer joy.

Corinne...not such a fan of the bouncy castle. :)

Ashtyn got to take home a pumpkin from Gma Bates' garden.
