Family and Friend Tribes

I know why in some cultures families live in tribes and/or large families and friends stay close in proximity- it is so nice when you have family and friends around to help or just share with the fun day to day activities with the boys.

GREAT GRANDMA AND GRANDPA, COLLEEN AND UNCLE TUCKER!
Today- we went to Great Grandma McDermid's ( no photos unfortunately) but the boys got to see their Great Grandparents, Aunt Colleen and Uncle Tucker. They were so spoiled with yummy food, love, books and swimming! We loved being there- partially because I didn't have to do as much as usual and everyone pitched in with chasing the boys, feeding them, changing them and carrying all our stuff back and forth to the car!!

GRANDPA AND THE BOYS!
Grandpa takes boys out for dinner for the first time with him!! He is so excited and has been waiting for this. He kept getting choked up with tears throughout dinner - so sweet!



VISIT WITH AUNT DI-DI - so much fun and I loved the company and help (of course)!!! Aunt Di-Di went and got groceries and made us a fabulous meal before she left so we could all sit down for a nice meal. Aunt Di Di and I even cut and colored each others hair.


Grandma Karen- this week grandma has been busy working on the boys Halloween Costume! She sent me the first part to see if it fit- I was so happy with what she has done so far, so quickly- phase 1. My mom is seriously a great seamstress and makes great clothes. She is designing their costumes "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" -Dr. Suess twin characters.



GRANDMA GOBLE - THOMAS THE TRAIN
Grandma Goble surprised the boys with a new Thomas the Train Tent!! Nicolas absolutely loved getting up from his nap and seeing this!! Grandma helped stay and set up tent- we even got her in the tent with Nicolas!


VISIT WITH JESSICA - this week with her daughter baby Addison. We had a great visit and traded off- I got to sit and hold Addison while Jess got on the floor and entertained and got tackled by the boys! Jessica and Nate also came over to hang out Saturday and Jessica took some of her fabulous photos of the boys for us.



Random Shoots- best buds
