Celebrations

To celebrate Aaron's graduation I threw him a surprise Welcome Home/Graduation Party with his side of the family. We had it at Los Hermanos which is the restaurant where we had our luncheon after we got married. Everyone was already at the restaurant when we got there so Aaron was totally surprised. I thought I had given it away so many times, but thankfully he had been totally oblivious to it all. He kept saying "Did you know about this!?!" Um yeah I planned it haha
Here we have Aaron's sister Cheree and her family along with Emma.
And then we had Grandma Bell and Aaron's sisters Sheena and Karley and her two boys and his cousin Markai and her husband Wes. I was so glad everyone was able to come, it has been forever since Aaron and all his sisters have been together.
Sibling Love :)
Cheree and one of her cute twins, sadly I still can't tell them apart so I can't tell you which one this is, I know that's terrible.
Aaron's sister Karley was so awesome and drove 10 hours from Oregon just to come visit us. We haven't seen her in two years so we were really excited to get to spend some time with them. For Aaron's graduation present Grandma Bell and Aunt Karley bought our family tickets to go to Lagoon and we had a blast!
Here we have Ty Ty, Chloe, Karter and Emma being crazy kiddos.
Bumper cars was my ultimate favorite of all the kid rides to watch. Chloe was hilarious, she just kept going around and around in circles.

These cousins get along so great, it's like they have never been apart. Emma and Karter are exactly one month apart to the day and Ty and Chloe are about a year, so it works out great. Karley and I have plans to get pregnant at the same time for our third babies, it is just so much more fun that way :)
You can't go to Lagoon and not ride on the cars and boats.
These two are concentrating so hard on making it around that turn lol!

This was one of their favorites because they could all sit together, they could have ridden it all day if we would have let them.

We also had a game night, where we had pizza, roasted smores, played on the trampoline, Aaron and Karley battled it out in ping pong and we all had fun playing games with the kids. It was such a nice visit with the Arritt family and we can't wait to take a road trip out to Oregon and spend some more time with them.
