Bess turns 10!

We celebrated Bess's birthday the night before her real birthday as the next day, her real birthday, we were heading to Utah for Bess and Maggie to fly with Grandma to Montana.
She requested just a family party and her favorite chocolate cake and ice cream. DONE!




The next morning she woke up 10!  We are all so lucky to have Bess.  She is so kind and thoughtful. Very rarely does she complain and just does what is asked of her. 


And she really is the very best big sister to Maggie!


The girls and I hopped in the car and headed to Salt Lake. 

We arrived with just enough time to sing happy birthday and have cake!



Aunt Brenda was very kind and made this cake for Bess.  We love love love her cakes!


These girls were so excited for what they had in store for the coming week.  They love being together.  We miss not living by Reese, she's one of our very favorite people.  Bess was so excited that she was able to spend her birthday with her cousin!


Now it's time to get to the airport and make the big exchange happen!  Whoo hoo!!!  
Grandma and the girls ready to meet grandpa at the Salt Lake airport to head to Great Falls!


Here's where the great exchange happens.  Grandpa flew in with the two boys after their week ended with him.  Now he was ready to have these 3 cuties!
The boys quickly filled the girls in on the do's and don'ts of the new treehouse and they were back in their moms arms!
Bye girls hello boys!


I can't lie....there were some major tears shed by these two boys telling Grandpa goodbye.  They really did cry themselves to sleep that night.  
My dad is truly the best.  I appreciate the time he took to be with his grandsons.  It's a time they will never forget, those summers in Montana!


I don't think I've ever seen bigger grins!  They are finally off on the week they have been waiting SO long for!
