Family Invasion to Utah

This last September we made the journey down to Lehi, Utah to see Joel's family and especially his brother Adam that was on this side of the country for the weekend from New York. Archer, Joel and I finally got to meet Emma. Joel's Sister Lindsey's newest addition to their family. She and Archer had so much Fun, they are only a few months apart and were best friends from the get go.
  

Emma is just the sweetest, she would army crawl all around and she just loves her little play station! Emma and Archer would just laugh, like they had some secret baby joke going on.

Grandma Harris wanted to get a few family pictures, since all her 5 kids and all the grand kids were together. I don't that between the  4 or 5 cameras we had taking pictures if we were able to get a single picture of all the the kids looking and smiling at the same time. At one point Grace said, " are we done yet, Archer is getting heavy?" Poor girl had to have little tank on her lap.

Archer loves pulling himself up and standing, ALL THE TIME! So I just had to get some snap shots of him holding onto the street sign.

Archer and Great Grandma and Grandpa Harris.

 And they're off! Archer and Emma we all over the floor, even under the table crawling over our feet and through the chairs.

We even had time to stop and see Great Grandma and Grandpa Bybee.

It was so fun to hear some stories about the "good ol' days" from them.

We were a little nervous though, Archer at the time had just started eating crackers and such and Grandma Bybee gave him a ritz cracker to eat while Grandpa held him and we were afraid that Archer was going to choke and throw up all over Grandpa. We should have known better Archer did Fantastic! Other than a few crumbs Grandpa was safe.

Archer and Adam. Poor little Archer wasn't too sure about Adam at first but after a while he warmed up the him and they had fun the rest of the weekend.

We were able to have Joel's sisters Erin and Jessica ride with us from Boise and well the ride back to Boise started out with intelligent conversation, it didn't last long when Joel said the word, "POOP!" For the next few hours we got dumber and dumber. Archer had to join in the shananigins and was pulling on Erin's jacket string while she was sleeping. I was even able to capture and little video of Archer being serenaded by his aunts singing River of Love, by the King himself, George Strait. I don't think they know I took a video so this should be fun. Unarry! Erin and Jessica.

The weekend was a fast one but so worth the drive down. I can't wait for the next family get together. Who knows what crazy thing Archer will do next?!
