May showers?

okay. so for pretty much the whole month of may we were in broomfield getting some quality time with family. and then the last week of may we had 3 reunions in a week. at the end we were so ready to be home! i love my family, but i missed my bed, and my children in their own rooms sleeping through the night. well at least ryker.

it was so great and i loved it. rylie did awesome on her first flight. we played, she got a little nap, and it was great. on the flight back she was a little more fussy, but not unbearably so and we made it back without annoying too many people. on the trip home both ryker and rylie had colds so we were trying to battle those at the end of our trip as well.

im going to let the pictures do most of the talking. i have like 100 or so and they are all awesome. and this is my own scrap book so i do what i want.  :)

so much fun on our first flight!
