Love Those Visitors!

I definitely did not take enough pictures while our recent visitors were in town. But this one pretty much sums it up. It was Grandma and Easton all week long just playing, pretending, being silly and having way more fun than he ever has with me. I honestly don't know how she does it. I love playing with my kids I swear, but after a half hour to an hour of it I'm about done. Am I the worst mom out there? Lani went all day every day, with very few breaks; even helping with bath time and bed time every night. We had a great visit with Grandma and Grandpa Rogers and are so grateful that they drove all the way here to spend time with us (especially during the 110 degree heat wave).

The day the grandparents left, Steve's sister and her family came stopping through on their way to Disneyland (don't even get me started on how everyone gets to go to Disneyland but me. I want to go so. bad.). They were smart and brought a babysitter with them to help with the kids. It's possible that I may have taken advantage of that babysitter. She's the one in the water with my kid while I'm relaxing.
Adorable Addy( Addie?) is just 2 weeks younger than Carly so it was fun to see them together. She has more hair and is, of course, smaller. They were checking each other out quite a bit and it was just really funny to me to see two babies exactly the same age doing the same things...crawling, almost walking, babbling, getting into stuff, climbing stairs. Too cute.
It was fun for E to see his cousins Ash and Brennen...they are older so he thinks they are the coolest. I really wanted to sneak in their van and go to D-land with them. I bet they had a blast.
Um...no reason for this pic other than it's cute.
Thanks for coming visitors! I hope you're not sick of me because I'm
planning on coming to Boise real soon!

You never need a reason to post a pic of Carly. She is one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. Oh man, I clicked on that pool pic to see it better and then I saw your feet and thought, "Yep, those are Em's feet!" I just thought it was funny that I totally knew they were yours. Oh my gosh, so thanks again for your maternity clothes. When I first put them on (in February) all the pants were too loose and I was like, "What the heck? I Em and I are the same size, does she just like her pants baggy?" And I tried them all on this week and yep! They fit like a glove. Every single pair. So THANKS!!! I will be sporting them all summer long :)

I will go to Disneyland with you! Let's plan it! Not when it's hot though... I'm a wimp without air conditioning.

I love the picture of your toes, relaxing while the babysitter is playing with your kid- LUCKY!!! I wish my family would come out and stay that long so my kids had that much entertainment from Grandma! And, I want to go to D-land too. Let's go for NV day this year, I'll say I want to go for my birthday again. Too bad you can't go for free this year! Dang it!

Yay for visitors! And I don't know how the grandmas do it either? I don't have the patience to actually sit and play with Ethan that long!! Love the first two pictures. :)

I'm jealous, again. I can't wait to get my hands on Carly and play with Easton. I'm afraid Carly isns't going to remember us, you better start talking us up.

I love the pictures, I was waiting for the one of the two girls,they are adorable and what fun to have a coursin the same age to grow up with. It's been so fun to watch Bethany and Britt grow up together and be such good friends.

Love you all and miss you.

So fun!!! Do I get visitors from Las Vegas this weekend too? Hope so, but understand if not.

Alifinale said...

I want to go to Disneyland too. And I am way worse mom than you are...I hardly ever actually play with my kids. Looks like fun times.

Oh dear. Those kids are getting too big without me seeing them. What cool grandmas your kids have! I love the pic of Carly with her cousin.
