Visitors

Last month, Dave's parents came to Utah to family history work.  They dedicated an entire month to this project and we were certainly happy about that.  While they didn't stay with us (Dave's aunt lives only 5 min away from us and has basement that becomes a small hotel for visitors!), we got to bask in their presence all month!  We loved it.  Dave and I also got to go away for the weekend with a rewards trip to Colorado that earned at work.  Grandma and Grandpa were here, so they kids got to hang out with them all weekend.  Unfortunately, this one
 
was up all night right before we left with a nasty flu bug.  I was feeling guilt leaving her to Grandma M, but I was reassured she would be fine.  Of course, Brenna was in great hands, I had no doubt.  She kindly shared her bug with Grandma, but Grandma never complains.  She is a hero.  While we were in Colorado, the kids also got a visit from Dave's brother Brian.  Brian took them all over to fun activities-soccer,
the Aquarium, and Airborne.
 Finishing up our month of family visits we got to see Dave's brother, Brent and his family as they drove through Utah on their way to California.  They are moving from Virginia to the West Coast.  We were so happy to spend time with Max and Karly, who are so close to Grant and Katelee's ages.  While these kids have only met once before, you would never have guessed it.  They played like they were BFF's.  I am thinking, California is a much better locale for us to get these cousins acquainted better.  I prepped Grant and Katelee that they were going to see their cousins and they were shocked that they are the same age.  They thought cousins are mostly older people-that's what happens when you are on the tail end of grandkids on both sides!  I ran up a few times to check on the kids playing.

  The girls were dressing up and singing.  They were good...I walk by the boys room while they were great, I have to say it stunk.  Boys smell worse than girls.


 It was proven to me that night!  We were so happy to have family here and think that these visits should happen more often!
