My parents and my sister Denell and her three kids, Lexi, Oakley and Crew, came to visit for a week when Maverick was ten days old. We did a lot with them and Maverick just slept and slept as he was consistently held and kissed.
Lincoln was very excited to have his “friends” visit.
The first day we went to the beach and the kids played in the water.
Digging for clams
My mom holding grandbaby number 11. I can’t believe how blessed we are that my mom could be there for this very special time. After almost a year of uterine AND breast cancer, multiple surgeries and months of chemo, my mom finished her last treatment just weeks before coming. Although still a little weak, she was healed enough that she could help take care of me and have a lot of fun. She is an awesome grandma and all her grandbabies love her,
And she looks A-MAZ-ING!
Crew and Lincoln. The first day Lincoln told Crew he wanted him to go home because he was a little overwhelmed, but every day after that they were best friends.
Bounce House!
Lots of swimming for the kids
Barbeque at the pool
Ice-cream on the beach
Throwing rocks on the beach
Picking on Papa Jones
Picking berries
Riding a tractor to pick the berries 
We picked 20 pounds of raspberries! We got a little carried away from our excitement.
I bawled like a baby when my family left. I really love their craziness.
And then my sister Eleena and her family came:
We got to see this little guy again. Carson is four months older than Maverick, so they are bound to be best friends one day.
We went to the lighthouse
We got to ride on the ferry and we all loved it!
We also spent some time at the beach. It was seriously perfect weather and was beautiful!
Don’t sit on the baby!
Scott torturing the kids with a crab he found
Eleena putting Maverick’s feet in the water
Building a castle…….or something else….
Taking a bath together. 
It was awesome to see my family and we can’t wait to see them again in September for Maverick’s blessing! We definitely enjoyed having them here!

How fun! I'm so glad that you're mom was feeling good enough to come up and visit and you're right, she looks great! I love the Jones families! I'm so glad that so many of your family were able to come up and visit it looks like you had such a great time. :)
Ditto on what Katie said. Also Heather, I think it's great that your getting out so much. It's not easy after you have a baby! -At least that's been my experience. You look great.
