Willardson Compound...

Darin had a conference in Denver where he had to do a presentation on a poster of a study he did with a group of LVH residents that is being published.  Troy lives in Denver and Trevor is in Pueblo the rest of the family is in driving distance so we decided to go spend the week.  Something I love about the Willardson family is when one brother comes they ALL come.  Troy and Tonya had a full house and we are VERY grateful for everything they did for us.
We had a great time hanging out, lounging, visiting, runs, walks, watching football, presidential debate, eating and most of all PLAYING WITH COUSINS!
 It seemed like we would just feed the children and 2 seconds later it was time to feed them again.  Grandma Willardson is a pro at feeding the masses!


Darin loves his nieces and nephews and they LOVE him.  Nash and Asa are pretty lucky to have such a fun daddy!
Some of the cousins are home schooled.  They were so good to stay up on their studies and Grandma and Grandpa were great at being their teachers.  It was fun listening to Grandpa teach the kids math. 
The kids got a long so well.  They only issues we had was making them go to sleep!  Nash thought we were the meanest parents on the nights we made him sleep with us.

Everyone doted over the newest member of the family.  It is so fun to see Darin's brothers asking to hold Asa.

 Each cousin took a turn.

  But Grandma got as much snuggle time as she wanted.

 Grandpa is the baby whisper.  Although from the look on Asa's face in this next picture I am not to sure... Asa is saying "Mom, who is this guy?!" haha 
 The house at time was pretty chaotic but it was great being with everyone and we are super thankful for the help we received especially when Darin, Asa and I took a day trip to Albuquerque for an interview.  I asked Nash if he wanted to come with us and he said "ummm maybe NO!"  He didn't even realize I left or when I got home.  He had so much fun!
