Family is one of the main reasons we moved back to Wyoming just over a year ago. The kids really enjoy being able to play with their cousins when we go to Star Valley.
One of the great things about Family is you don't have to put a face on or try to impress them. They know you are your good day and your bad days. We love spending time with them.
Another great thing about extended family is that when you see them they are all over your kids. Even willing to bounce with them on the Trampoline. What a blast.
Because of the choice to live so close to family, our kids will be blessed with wonderful memories of their Aunts and Uncles and cousins. We love it when my kids faces light up when they see Grandma or and Aunt. They have over the last year been able to get to know them and trust them.
This year when Jim's Family was able to get together in August the kids had a blast hiking up to the spring and playing at Amber's.
Jim had fun hiking with the boys and the rest of the extended family why mom stayed with Madison sleeping in Grandma's truck.
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

Just to think that all of this would not be if 2 people would not have fallen in love. Thank you Mom Moffat. What a fun weekend.
