| We had some more fun visitors during these last two weeks:) We do a lot of the same thing it seems when people come see us but each experience is still unique and extraordinary. First off- my parents came for 3 nights. The kids are in high-heaven when grandparents come to stay...spoiled little brats... We went to a 3-D movie (beauty and her beast) and out to eat at Teeexxxassss Roadhouse. Oh yeah. Can't beat their rolls with their special butter... |
 |
| Even Charlie downed 3 or 4... |
 |
| I say they are spoiled but we were too.! The kids got so much attention which allowed us to slack off... |
 |
| There were lots of story reading moments. And of course we had to do Dixie Rock with them! |
 |
| So precious. These two remind me alot of each other. I think Charlies' gonna grow up to look like my Dad. Totally different personalities-except for their stubbornness- but same stature:) |
 |
| Haven't done this since my dating years in High School! It was a beautiful day at the park and someone left their ice blocks in the grass so we took it for a slide! |
 |
| Bye 'bump-pa'! We love you and will miss you and love it when you come to stay with us!! |
 |
| Next it was the Californians(Marty's mom and sister)! They stayed with us just 2 days later for 5 nights! We loved it!! They brought a load of goods with them from LJB Farm in Gilroy-which is owned by Marty's bro-in-law. It was probably 50+ dollars worth (well lets see, the olive oil was 20 so maybe more than that) of dried fruit, nuts and jams! THANKS RUSS for sending it! SOOO yummy and authentic... |
 |
| More and more and more story time...I swear Kim had the most patience with these guys! All 3 of my kids just bugged her to death nonstop and she just rolled with it. I would have been swatting them away:) She is such a great auntie! They love her! |
 |
| But I need to add the 'Gramma DI-ane' has loads of patience too! She always lets them bake with her. Such a hard and messy task when shared with kiddos. Here she is guarding Charles Henry from eating a pound of M&M's... |
 |
| One day we got 'a little' kid free time and toured the Brigham Young House and meandered around in some antique shops and art galleries. p.s. we ate really good while they were here...homemade lasagna with french bread and balsamic/oil/garlic dip, maple glazed pork chops with sweet potato and spinach salad, hamburgers with sweet potato fries and broccoli, blackberry shakes, brownies, buttermilk pancakes, oh, and we ate at Kneaders one day too...yes we gained a little weight:) |
 |
| We took them to Zion's of course....COLDer than I expected! There was snow in some parts and definitely hoody, gloves, hat, weather... but still majestic. |
 |
| Weeping Rock (hike). Bad Picture. Need awesome camera. |
 |
| Lots of whispering and yawning...ya think family wore us out?! noooo.... |
 |
| Lots of flexing. |
 |
| Lots of worm-looking rocks and then ice cream on a cold day in Zions. The ice cream was actually in Springdale: a quaint, cute, dead-in the winter-but crazy in peak season- type of town just before Zion Park. What a great day and a fabulous week and a half we had. Our house feels empty now...and maybe just a titch cleaner:) We miss you ALL. Thanks for sharing your love with us. |

Kimbie really is such a good aunt. And Grandma Diamond is so good at letting grandkids feel grown up.
I was going to say that Charlie looks just like Marty, but if you think he looks like your dad, I guess I'll let you say that.
I want to go to Zion's! We'll bring our awesome camera, you bring us there. =)
