Cousins week at the Holmstead Ranch!

My mom planned an AMAZING cousins get together at the Holms Ranch this summer. It was so much fun we never wanted it to end!



Cash was so proud of himself for winning the bug collecting contest!

The treasure hunt was a definite highlight. The kids found the map in the old Cabin and then followed the clues to the treasures!

Ready to follow the map!

4th of July fun!

Cash and I took some cute 4th of July decor to Clara's grave first thing that day. We wanted her to know that we wished she was with us to see all the fireworks!


Then we headed to Aunt Lisa's house for a BBQ and some firework fun with  Jason, Lisa, Matt and Brandi!


Cash thought they were a little loud....

Cute preggy Brandi boo

Cash loved throwing the poppers all over the place


Fun way to celebrate the 4th!

A quick trip to St. George..


Cash and I took a quick little trip down to St. George to watch Jaime and her family on "The Bachelorette" hometown date episode. Britta threw a big party and even the star himself came. So much fun to see everyone!



Cash had so much fun playing with cute little Eliza.

Silly pics

Ben decided to give Cash half of a haircut. We laughed for quite a while before finishing up. I guess this is what he will look like in 60 years?


Pretending to pee. He really thought this was funny.

Daddy promised Cash a fort night, and that is exactly what he got. 

We all three slept on the air mattress. Well, we didn't sleep. But it was fun.

Aunty Drizzle and Uncle Collin came to visit on their way to New York!  We loved having them!

A very much needed Staycation...

We received a very nice gift from a family friend and were able to have a little staycation weekend at the Grand America. We are talking room service, massages, facials and swimming. Just what we needed for a fun fathers day weekend. 













A few things to remember
-Cash repeatedly telling me how much he loved the hotel and our room and never  wanted to leave
-Ben's first massage ever. He LOVED it
-Cash loved the Jou Jou toy store and the robots we bought him there
-Cash swam for 5 hours on Saturday while we traded off getting spa treatments
-Yummy food, especially the Little America Stakehouse and Sunday Brunch for Fathers Day!
