Family time

The beginning of June Justin, Laura and Dylan headed to Moorhead for a week long vacation.  We were all excited to see them and baby Dylan.  On Sunday, June 3rd, which happened to be Grandma Ivy's birthday, mom had everyone out for dinner and a family gathering to see Justin, Laura and Dylan.  I had just seen Dylan the middle of April but man had he grown in just a month and a half.  All the little kids were loving up on Dylan and wanting to hold him.  It was cute.  Mom made Ufda tacos for dinner which were delicious!  We had cake and ice cream to celebrate Grandma Ivy's special day.  It was fun having everyone together.

Jacob and MaKena riding in the car.  When all the kids come out to mom's this is the first thing that gets taken out of the garage.  Papa Pete made a good purchase 10 years ago!

My 2 babies!  So cute!

Me with my newest little nephew.  I just love him!  And it looks like he just loves me!  Look at the little smile on his face.
