Some family trees bear an enormous crop of nuts!!

Alright, so before I begin, I have to preface this post:

As a rule, I generally try not to word or picture vomit all over...But, for this post I've completely ignored that rule! Mostly this is for my family's benefit since I had so many fun pics of all the nephews and neices! I warned you! Here goes!!

A few weeks ago my whole family came up to visit us in Washington before Ty leaves for an entire year!! We had so much fun! My parents rented out a beach house in Pacific Beach and the photos give you almost a play by play of the whole week!

While the beach isn't much good for swimming (hence the sweatshirts!) although, don't tell Indie that, it was great for flying kites and making fun of Indie as he'd bound through the water and then run like the devil away from the oncoming waves...what a dork! We love that pup!
Everybody loved that little dork dog! I love that he lets all of the kids pound on him and he just lavishes all the attention, regardless if it involves his tail getting pulled or a kid trying to ride him!
This was a more amusing site to me; here I am holding my darling 3 month old neice, Lana, with my massive prego belly! Needless to say, I got some oddly long stares from many strangers!

Here's Dill loungin' in one of our awesome living room "couches." Seeing as we knew we'd only be in Washington for a little over 2 months, that's basically all we brought up (It's a camp chair fyi). It was pretty entertaining when we'd have guests over in our empty apartment. We'd get; "Are you guys alright? Can we help you out?" ha ha ha

Since Ty still had work to do, we had a lot of driving back and forth from the Beach House...not my favorite.

Uncle Moe is such a stud! All the kids love to ride his long board!

The parentals...awe! So cute! Thanks ma and pa for the trip!! Best ever!!

Dawna and me (aka baby sister Jessica)

Big Pimpin' Taylor...lil' bro!

"You're so hot honey!"

"Who me? What if I flair my nostrils like this, would you still be my friend?"

"Who said I was your friend??"

Trying to take a little Case family shot...Dillon had to put on his binoculars for the photo.

Jonny, Dill and Britt.

This kiddo usually hams it up for the camera, but out of 10 photos, this was the most "normal" shot I could get from him...jeez!

Grandpa and Dill, chillin' out maxin' at the carnival.

Taylor stealing my camera and LOADING it with dorky photos of himself...but this one turned out pretty decent. :)

Dill and cousin baby Lana

Much to her dismay, he couldn't stop kissing her! :) LOVE IT!

All week long, Dill kept stealing Ty's boots and wearing them all over the house...it was pretty dang cute. When we lived in Logan he'd always come to our house and wear his combat boots all over. Ty really gets a kick out of it and it makes him all the more excited (if that's actually possible) for our little Gage!

See what I mean about hamming it up for the camera?? Funny kiddo!

Just a couple of greasy beach bums!

Brother "Bud", aka Branson holding his little Lana.

So giggly and smiley! Such a good baby!

Dillon LOVED the sand...can you tell??

Off to Seattle!

Me and Tay

Uncle Moe and Caden at Pike Place

Funny Breken! He's a little physical comedian, at 3!! (almost)

Cute grandma and Brek--entertaining the masses

Caden and Dill; these two can entertain themselves for hours! (As well as the rest of us!)

Dill and Cade flying their kite!

Grandma and her boys!

This was one of the funniest things all week! These boys all did what boys do best; fight! But with the biggest smiles on their faces the whole week as they wrestled every chance they got! It was so entertaining! I can't wait for Gage to join in!

Brek on the beach...so stinkin' cute!

Brek and Dill watchin' movies in the beach house.

And the Fireworks commence!!

This was such a cool night! It was completely foggy and everyone came from miles around to light off every firework that would be illegal in Utah! It was so fun. The fog gave it such an eerie, but super cool glow...sorry the pics of the fireworks suck, like I said, foggy!

Leah and her boy Breken getting ready for the show!

How can you not get a big old smile seeing this photo?? Fireworks are so fun!!

Cade with the endless supply of sparklers!

Gram and Gramps...aka Ma and Pa!

Ty with a rocket launcher! These were awesome!

Bud and Cade with their rocket launcher.

Dawna (and the pup feeling very bad for himself in the back since we wouldn't let him run around chasing the fireworks.)

Beleive it or not, the end!! What a fun vacation we had with the fam-damly!! Can't wait to do it again in 2 years!!
