Then on July 3, my mom came out and boy, I don't know what I would've done without her!! My mom is the greatest person ever! I love her so much and she was such a help! I was sad to see her go and I tried REALLY hard to convince her to stay! :)Aspen absolutely loves her grandma and even started consistently walking just to show off for grandma! :)
Then July 31, Leif, Lurlyn and Leify came to visit for a few days! We LOVE when they come! Leify and Aspen played so well together; they were so cute to watch! :) Leify started really standing on his own while
Then on August 5, we went to WA for Grandma's funeral. Me, Aspen and Mia got on the same flight back to Portland as Leif and his family, so they were able to help me with the girls...and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT Leif and Lurlyn! Its seriously craziness to travel with babies and I don't know how I could have possibly done it all alone with two babies.
While we were in WA, we stayed with Randy and Teresa and their kiddos: Abby (9), Tanner (8), Scott (6), Fischer (4), Kiersten (2), and Garret (7 months). Aspen sure had fun with her cousins...she played outside with them and even got pecked by one of their chickens! Garrett fell in love with Mia's binky and tried to steal it from her all the time. :) It was super fun for my girls to be around their cousins. And to see Aunt Teresa and Uncle Randy...they both just loved them to pieces...Mia cries basically all the time she isn't eating or sleeping, but her aunt and uncle were able to calm her. :)
Also in WA, Aspen and Mia got to spend more time with my mom. Aspen got really attached to her grandma. Aunt Carrie was also there and they always enjoy her. There was ton of family around for Grandma Q's funeral and it was fun for my girls to see my cousins and my cousins' kids and my aunts and uncles and everyone who was there. Aspen was in 7th Heaven since there were ALWAYS tons of kids to play with. Some of my cousins's kiddos and my brother's kiddos taught Aspen to jump on the bed and she just thought that was the BEST thing ever!
We also got to see Grandma Vi and Lurlyn and little Leify again and that was fun.
Being around all this family made me wish we lived a little bit closer. I LOVE Colorado Springs, but it would be nice to be just a bit closer so Aspen could play with her cousins and such.
While I was still in WA, Malo's mom got to our house. I got there with the girls the next day, August 15th and Aspen and Mia got to visit with their Grandma Diane. Grandma Diane bought them some cute matching outfits (girls clothes are always fun!). It was nice to have her here.
