Weekend spent with family

My sister in-law and nieces came home Friday for a visit

I have been looking forward to this for weeks

The kids swam, slid on the slip and slide, made breakfast, played Barbies, went to a family reunion,

rode bikes, caught frogs, had Cheri Top, went to the Bettendorf Chidren's Museum, 

had a very quick photo shoot, ate birthday cake and sang to Grandma and swam some more

Holtz Family Reunion at Fuller Park

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was listening to this lovely lady

Isn't she beautiful! Just look at that smile!

She has been with my brother's family for 6 months now 

 I can't believe how much she is talking and how much she has learned

This is one of our quick photo shoot photos

These kids were totally exhausted but such good sports

I LOVE these kids to pieces!
