According to iPhone {5.28.13}

~This week~

Indy started asking for Da-deeee around 3:30 every day and would wait by the door for him to get home. 
 Tess and Rogue came to visit. 
Mary and Ryan came to visit too. We had lunch in Coronado and it was wonderful. 
 Summer grilling has officially started. Indy would rather have boogers though. 

Zane got a new hairstyle and therefor wanted me to take pictures of "how cool I look." 

Ollie and Indy had a few play-dates while his Mama was in the hospital having his little brother Leo. 
Leo Davis Jones was born and warmed my soul with his sweet newborn smell. 
We got away to Utah for Memorial Day Weekend. 
I was soooo bored on the drive and was thereby forced to take funny pictures in photo-booth on the iPad. 
We got Swig cookies and a Dirty Dr Pepper in St. George. Sans the minions.
We went to church with a million of my family members. Okay maybe not a million... 
We spent LOTS of time in the car. Vegas traffic is my FAVORITE. 
We brought flowers to my Grandpa and told him how much we love and miss him.

I got to snuggle another new baby. Sweet little Oliver. 
We ended the week driving home and stopping occasionally for a car-side bathroom break. 
The End.

Memorial Weekend Getaway 2013

Disclaimer: My stinking camera lens bit the dust this weekend so I had to shoot everything in manual focus, which I'm clearrrrrly horrible at. I cried puddles of tears after uploading all my photos to see that 98% of them were blurry. I used some of them anyway. Blurry memories it is. 

We met up with a good chunk of family in St. George, Utah for a super-fun 4 day Memorial weekend. Even though most of Friday and Monday were spent road-tripping, we still packed in lots of great stuff.   
Saturday morning we left all the kids with my sisters at Aunt Aeme's while we attended the Temple Sealing of my cousin Aubree and her husband Karson. It was a beautiful ceremony. Lots of happy tears. 
Afterwards Sean and I hit up this little drive-thru shack called Swig. I had read about their legendary Dirty Dr Pepper and Swig Sugar Cookies, so I had to try them. It's a good thing I don't live in St. George...I'm pretty sure I'd make this my daily breakfast. 
We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out with family at Aunt Aeme's house enjoying food and family. 

 Aubree and me. She's a babe . 
 I'm so sad this is blurry, but seeing babies with their Grandpa just melts me.




Sunday morning we headed off to church where my cousin Travis blessed his new baby boy. Our family filled the first few rows of pews and as I looked over at My Grandma Mavis sobbing while she admired all her children, grand children and great grandchildren...I started to cry as well. Then I noticed all the women were crying. Bunch of boobs I tell you (pun definitely intended). 

 As we squeezed in tight to take a group shot, my Grandma Mavis tearfully expressed her love for all of us and so we all cried and sobbed some more. How amazing that must feel to see all these shining faces that are all here because of you. 












After another awesome luncheon Sean and I packed up our kiddos and left for Vegas. We stopped off in Mesquite to bring flowers to my Grandpa Frehner. He named me Lelalove in a poem he wrote when I was born. He's the best. 

 The cemetery was filled with flags for Memorial Day Weekend. 
Check out this photo of my Grandma and Grandpa Frehner. This upcoming September is their 55th wedding anniversary. What a legacy these two have. I love them.  
We spent Sunday night with our friends the Palmers. It was my friend Carolyn's birthday so her husband Billy grilled up an awesome dinner. The kids had SO much fun with their buds. We went to the park, had root beer floats, watched  movies and then hit up a Vegas breakfast buffet before heading for home. 
 Mommies with our baby boys. Only my baby is a giant. 




...Now onto unpacking, cleaning and laundry. Yippeeee!
