*Dandelion Wishes*: Most Awesome Uncle of Them ALL...

We went to Hollister last week to watch my sister Amy's boys (so she could go to Colorado for my little brother Scott's graduation...holla!) and help my sister in law Melinda get their new gym USA Sports ready for the grand opening open house last weekend. It was a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of work (I painted over 250 faces). Big Daddy is not only the coolest dad ever he is also the most awesome uncle and the kiddos were WAY excited to see him. Big Daddy soaked it up and we had a great time (clickety to biggify the pics).

we also stopped the ice cream truck on our way to the park
note to self: wet wipes...oh the sticky goodness!

Big Daddy helped build some barriers for the gym and

Steven was his right hand little man...love these pics!

We had so much fun spending time with these little guys. We also enjoyed hanging out with our adorable niece Taylor...I think I have some pics of her and Jordan at Chuck E. Cheese...YES I am the coolest Aunt ever, I went to Chuck E. Cheese...I pretty much hate that place ALMOST as much as I hate McDonald's. BUT I L-O-V-E my nieces and nephews and this is the cleanest Chuck E. Cheese I have ever been to...sooo...whatevs.
