Coco & Lydia at the playground behind my parents house. I love dressing the girls up in anything matching even though they've both almost out grown these jackets.
Courtney, my sweetest niece sure changed the most since my last trip. She is a girly girl to all extremes and a great little talker. Oh and above all she gives the BEST hugs I've ever had. She squeezes my neck so tight and never wants to let go, it's so heartwarming and you can feel how much she loves you.
Jake being awesome at the park. He asked that I put these on my blog and after I took SO many awesome pictures I suggested he needed his own blog. He wasn't opposed to that idea. :)
Here are all 4 kiddo's together. Lydia 21 months, Coco 2 year, Jake 6, Logan (almost 8). I miss them all so much already!
My awesome husband being awesome.
Everyone was still busy at work. So when I had both girls to myself one day we made the rounds and our first stop was Nana's library. She bought the girls these dresses and had fun showing off her 2 grand daughters to her co-workers.
Here is my handsome Dad at his job as an Insurance agent. What I love about this scenario is it hasn't changed since I was a little girl going to visit Daddy at work. I always got a State Farm sucker and a drink of water from that cool water machine. I thought it was the best place ever and to Lydia and Courtney it is too. :)
Heather, Marie, Alysa, Hilary, Laura and Lydia at Nathan's house in O-town. He hosted an indoor barbecue and as always it was amazing food, friends, fun conversation and good memories made!
The Lap Game....we were laughing at something Marie had done. But I can't think of it now. My stomach hurt after this game.
It somehow always works out that at least once a year Ashley Pace and I end up in O-town at the same and with only 5 old High school friends we were out numbered by 8 kids! Crazy!!! You can totally tell that they all don't really know each other...but for picture purposes we plopped them all on a couch together. Ha ha.
These pictures are in the Jone's backyard before they had to go house hunting. Lydia seriously could have been born in this family...with her blond hair, blue eyes & chub cheeks she fits right in. She hasGoodrich genes for sure!
When Tyson and I went to go get Eric after his nap we were SHOCKED and didn't even recognize this little fellow. He just OOoooZES with cutest.
The above is from Dec 2009 to May 2010.
Morgan, Raigan, Carter, Jada, Ali & Eric Jones. :)
Lunch time at Nana's house. Coco, Zacharie, Lydia & Jake.
Michele (Marie's mom) & Lydia Skyping to France. She sat there for at least 10 minutes blowing kisses to a little French girl her same age....so cute.
Logan ran inside to get me just so I could see this. Silly girl.
Woods cross buddies. Tyson, Matt, Curtis, Russ, Devin & Baggs.
Russ, Baggs, Tyson, Curtis, Matt & Devin.
Megan, Ty, Laura, Lydia, Lauren (pregnant with a GIRL!!!!) Annie & Lea.
Scott's basement where he trains to be a fighter. They had Lydia & Courtney hang from the pull-up bar. Guess who won? That's right. My girl! :) But Coco did great too.
Watching Jake's end of the year Kindergarten program on DVD.
Next time we'll have to stop here in Kansas and have a taste for sure!!!! How cool is that?!?
On our way home we stayed at a hotel in Kansas for one night. We didn't have a crib for her so she slept in my bed. Not the best night sleep I've ever had with a wiggly toddler. But I survived. :)
I saved this photo for last...pure JOY!

About time you posted. Gosh!!! Love all the pictures. I copied a lot of them and will be posting them on my blog. Hope that is ok!! Had so much fun. Miss you so much and counting down the days until your next visit!
That picture of us laughing at Marie looks like it's staged!!
I think it was because she farted at her in-laws.
I'm so glad I got to see you during this visit - can't wait until the next one!
I'm so happy that I could be a small part of your trip here...and can't wait for you to come next month. We'll have to get the kids together again...and maybe even have a GNO or something. Love you, Laura!
It looks like you had a fun quick trip. I am glad you got to see your family!!
Oh all the pictures and travelogue was so awesome to see and read! Thank you for sharing! So many terrific pictures. Do Lydia and Coco wear the same size clothes? So so cute! When do you return to Utah?
Miss you and much love!!
