Ostler Family Extravaganza Part 1

After our trip to Utah, we drove up to Montana to see my fam.  This was the first time we've ALL gotten together in quite a while!  But we all wanted to be there to welcome Brian home from his mission.  We are all so proud!  But to say the least, it was complete and utter chaos, with 26 people (14 of which were kids) all under the same roof.  But it was SO much fun!  Alia had a blast with all her cousins and aunts, uncles, and of course Grandma and Grandpa.  I hardly even saw her since she had much better things to do. :)  Lots of pictures were taken, so here's the first installment of the Ostler Family Fun. 

Brian's home!  Off the airplane and greeted by lots of family, this was the first time Alia meet her uncle.  They clicked right away.

The fam at the airport, and Brian cutting his "Welcome Home Cake" made by Brielle.

 

Aloria turned 4 during the trip, so we had an Ostler-size party celebrating her.

Enjoying the DELICIOUS blueberry cupcakes made by Annie, and taking a swing at the pinata. (I don't think she did much damage)

We just happened to come across a bike fair at the park.  Along with free bike tune-ups and merchandise, we also got lunch and a lot of fun for the kids that afternoon...including face painting.

Trying to stay cool in the summer heat.  Alia wasn't too sure about the sprinklers, but loved chillin' in the pool with her cousins.

Muscle boys!

Some fun with Aunt Suzie. (PS- Suz, every time Alia sees this pic, she thinks its me.  I'm flattered!)

Serious game-time for the big and little boys.  And PS, LOVE Trey's boots, can you tell he's from Texas? :)

More fun.

Reading with Grandma and playing with cousin Dagim.

Does this need an explanation? :)

Playing with Uncle Brian and cousin Ammon, and Grandpa of course!
