More from Chicks and Kids Weekend!

It wasn't just chaos from our weekend away, it was fun! We started out on Thursday and headed to our getaway in Washington/St. George area. We stayed at an awesome home that had a pool and a playground right across the street. And trust me, with 12 kids in tow, we didn't go anywhere else but the grocery store. Between naps and meals, we swam, took walks, played at the park and watched movies. It wasn't much of a 'vacation' but I so happy to have the memories from our trip and to have met my sister's new kids. We are so happy to have Kate and Tag as members of our family. And, I am so glad that we are all able to go and get the kids together for the first time and maybe the only time this year. Here are some more pictures of our fun...

Mealtimes were crazy!

The four middle boys... Hayden, Noah, Tag and Brock.
The big girls... Kate and Taytum

When Kate walked in she said, "Hi, I'm Kate. Nice to meet you. Can I share my dolls with these babies?" Then she gave Emma a puppet and Scoutie a Raggedy Ann, snuggled up to me and I said, "Somebody take our picture!!"
