It is all good when you get the family together!!!!!
We headed out west to see my family and boy oh boy did we ever have a good time!!!!! All you have to do is get a bunch of cousins together and they act like they are best friends, even though they hardly see each other but once a year. I love that about Cousins!!! We started out at Andy and Rachelle's house in Boulder City and then went to Alex's house in Cedar City. Angela and her two girls joined us for the fun as did my parents. We actually got all the cousins together in one spot, except for the oldest, Bleu, he was working on the farm. We got to see him later though. These first two pictures are of Ashlen and Bleu, look how big he is!!!!

Stowells on a mission!
We really need to get out to Boulder City to see Andy and his gang. And we really have no excuse since my parents live there, too!! They've lived there for 9 years now and we've been out there...once! Pitiful! Looks like you guys had a great trip! Last year our kids got to see all their cousins on both sides except for one of Todd's girls. It was great. Cousins are the best.
