We're Baaaaaack

I'm back! I left on June 21st and came back to Denver on the 28th of July. Zoë has now only 5 more flights to go before she reaches 50! I think I'll throw me ( I mean her) a party or something to celebrate when she reaches 50. Anyway - we had a great time at the Winn family reunion in Bonner's Ferry. All of Alex's siblings were there and their families - plus some of his extended family.

One of the days Alex's family went on a raft trip. We decided with the kiddos that it would be best for them if we went to Sandpoint beach. It was such a beautiful day! Lije and Steph came with their two cute kids and we just had a blast. I get a kick out of this pic because Lije looks just like Alex...on steroids. He's HUGE - by the way - yesterday he took down a drug dealer - literally! That's what I'm talking about :)

Zoë would wear her swimming suit everyday if she could. She LOVES the water.

One of the most beautiful/peaceful places in the world. Alex's Grandma has a ranch up in Montana. It's so quiet there and relaxed - I ask to go there every time we go visit his family.

This is what happens when you try to get all the yappers together to take a picture. Zoë is covering her mouth because she's screaming (obviously).

One of my favorite pics from our trip.

Zoë loves umbrellas. I think it's because she has seen "Singing in the Rain" one too many times? This unassuming umbrella caused a little ruckus with the cousins.

Emily - Alex's younger sister - packed Emmett up and down the mountain hike. He was such a good little baby and didn't cry ONCE! Zoë pitched a fit though so I took turns packing her up on my shoulders. I better have lost some calories on that one.

Zoë getting really dirty the last night we were there. She is exhausted in this picture.

On the hike Carter fell asleep on Brannen's shoulders (Alex's brother).
