| Just a little ketchup |
We were so grateful for a chance to go to the temple together, including all spouses, children, and parents. As a bonus, Abby's parents got to come as well. (They're practically family anyway.) It made for a great excuse to go to Kneaders.
We also got to catch up with all of our cousins up in the canyon. I can't remember the last time we did this, but we always used to do it growing up. It was great to see everyone together again, and I just loved the addition of the sweet little babies my cousins brought along.
I enjoyed the Fourth of July for what seems the first time in ages. How is that possible? I don't know, but I can't remember the last time I sat around watching a fireworks show for the holiday. The fireworks were great, although I wish I'd been able to see San Diego's disaster of a show that lasted all of 15 seconds.
We finished off the week with a Chipman family reunion, once again getting to catch up with many of the cousins and getting in some good time at the lake. (pictures to be added if blogspot ever starts cooperating again...)
Finally, I was lucky enough to have an extra day just to my mom and I. It was so great to buddy around with her and spend time at the best store ever. No pictures, unfortunately, but you can guarantee that it involved some serious time in Costco.

| I love this sweet little girl. Don't you just want to pinch her cheeks? |
We also managed to get some family pictures, and even got Chris to laugh. Forbidding him to do so using a monster voice worked very well, and we got a lot of pictures where he looks truly happy.

| No picture session is complete without a silly picture. Joe was worried what to do, so I gave him a wet willie. I'm nice like that. |

| What is it with me being all hunched over in all the pictures? Goodness. Whatever. I love this picture anyway. |
