The Family Visit . . .

Well, last month mom and dad, Madelynne Jenn, Becca, & Elle, and Laurie all came to visit. . . AT THE SAME TIME! It was a little bit crazy, but we all survived being confined in our little home for 4 days. We had a good time. The kids played really hard and had some late nights, but they had so much fun! On Friday when Dad and Mom and Madelynne got here we were outside sledding behind Pepper (our horse). Madelynne hurried and got dressed up to go outside and we went sledding for a little bit. A few things we did: we went to McDonald's for lunch and played on the toys. We took the kiddos to a movie--"The Bee Movie". We made necklaces and crowns, or, in Hayden's case, he made a visor with the foamies. We also played with some punch balls/balloons (and I think that was one of the things that entertained the kids the most and the longest). Mostly, we played and the girls all played dress-up over and over and over--they were so happy! On Sunday we celebrated Hayden's birthday. He had a fun little cowboy party, but I will make that into it's own post.

Madelynne was able to come with Grandpa and Grandma from Twin Falls and leave the rest of her family home. I am so glad she came! She was such a good girl! And all of the cousins were happy to see her.

Mom and Dad took a puppy home with them--YIPPEE! One more gone and only a couple left. They took the white puppy and named him Jack.
