Family Fun

The last couple of weeks, we have been able to spend lots of time with family. We stayed out at Jocelynn and Kyle's for a couple of days and the kids had a blast playing with their cousin, Ty. Clayton had so much fun riding with Ty on the little pedal toy (don't know the name of it).
We were also able to spend a few days over in Wellsville with mom and grandma and grandpa. The kids had a great time on the farm. Clayton and Cooper helped grandpa bottle feed a little calf. Clayton enjoyed filling up the trash pail with water for the cows. Uncle Clair took Cooper on a 4-wheeler ride up to the ranch to make sure the cows were still there!
It has been nice to spend time with mom. We stayed two nights in the trailer with her right outside of grandma's house. The kids love her and she is so loving and kind to them. It was good to let them have that one on one time with her. We took the kids down to willow park one day to eat lunch, play on the slides, and visit the zoo. Cooper's favorite animals were the monkeys and Clayton liked the ducks and birds.July 19th marked the 2 year mark that my Uncle Lynn passed away from a battle with cancer. That morning we took flowers up to his grave and then met all the ladies at Copper mill for a yummy lunch. Mom doesn't get many opportunities like that, so it was very special for all of us. I just really love my extended family and I am thankful that I have a good relationship with each of them!
