Story Family Weekend


The Story family traditions just keep getting better! This year Travis, Scott, Mal, and Mason started the weekend off with a little golfing at Mulligans. The kids love going with...I love when they go with too :) I don't think Trav and Scott play the best golf, but it is worth the sacrifice to be with my two little angles;) After all they are probably very, very good...right? Well, there was that one thing- when Mason decided that he wanted to drive the golf cart and Grandpa had to chase him down and jump in to save him:)

They did all have a great time though-and no one got hurt. The next thing on the list was to meet up with everyone at Thanksgiving point to do the Petting Zoo. The kids love to be together with their cousin Dylan! Malarie and him were so cute together. It was so fun to watch them play and talk and to make little jokes that no one else think are funny but the two of them just giggled. One on the HIGHLIGHTS was meeting the newest member of the family: Trace Ellis Story! He is absolutely perfect. He just cuddles right on your shoulder and just melts there. What a perfect fit into our family.
The kids had fun looking at the animals, riding the hay ride(which in my opinion was not worth the money-if you go ride the pony's), and getting 2 pony rides. After the first ride the kids wanted to go for another and lucky for them grandpas a sucker! Madi even got to ride on a pony(with grandpas help).
After the Petting Zoo we ate at the yummy Costa Vida. It was so fun to be there with everyone. I think we all enjoyed ourselves.
After lunch we checked into our hotel and grandma and grandpa too the kids swimming. After swimming everyone got ready to go to the U game. The kids and I didn't go so that I could help my sister Cami get ready for her baby blessing the next day. But they all had fun with the exception of Chris almost getting puked on-too gross! After the game we meet up at Chick-fil-A! Who doesn't love Chick-fil-A?! I got to hear about the game and the puke incidence and the kids go to play more.
The next day we went to Sidney's blessing. It was beautiful, Stan did a great job. I always get so emotional. The spirit is just so strong around these new little babies! The breakfast we had at Cami's after was awesome. I love to see family members that I don't get to see on a regular bassis.
Then we went and watched everyone else eat at Texas Roadhouse- too bad we were already too full to eat! After we all went to Grandma Story's! We love going there even thought we don't get there as much as we wish. My kids love it too. They are so bust exploring and playing when we go there that we usually don't see them until we leave. It was so nice to visit with Grandma, Aunt Kristie, Uncle Randy, a few of the cousins, and Aunt Sandy. I hit the jackpot when I got to be in their family!We had such a great time. Thanks Scott and Paula for EVERYTHING!!! We can't wait til next year!
