distant cousins..............

On Tuesday night we went down to San Diego to see my Dad's cousin's son, wife & kids (did you get that?) I first met Lance and Kristen in Montana a couple of years ago at a "Cheney Family Reunion" (one of the best trips we ever took) and just this last year got reconnected with Kristen through the blogging world! Sooo cool - this blogging thing! They are such great people and we had a really fun dinner at Pat and Oscars (yummy bread sticks). They were out here because she ran the big marathon in San Diego - you go girl!

It's a cousin sandwich :)

The Momma's (Me, Courtney, & Kristen)


A whole bunch of Cheney's!


Mandy & Morgan = new buddies

It's a blessing to have family all over the country and to feel so connected with them! It was great to see you guys - I feel an Idaho trip coming on :}

You all are a busy lot! Running here and there...always smiling with family and friends. I hope when my family gets bigger (ie: siblings marry and babies get born) we can do half as many family activities as you guys do :-)
