Full house!



My sister, Pat and their 3 kids (Braden 4, Elise 2, and Will 10 months) along with my parents were at our house last week for a week full of fun, noise and lots of laughing! We played hard- we hit the zoo, many parks, and many shopping trips! Suzanne and Pat live in Hailey, Idaho so we took advantage of every moment to be outdoors. They are also far from any regular mall so they also supported our local retailers! :)

The kids all get along SO well- even being cramped in one house and being way off any normal schedule, they rarely fought. With a lot of help from Super Grandma who always made sure all the kids were happy, the beds were made, and the kids were bathed (couldn't do it without you Bobo!), their visit could have lasted a lot longer- we are all sad to see them go. :(
Don't worry- we don't make Grandma do all those things- she likes being busy and always helping. We tell her to relax and sit down but I guess that's only for old people!

Braden and Julia play really well together, Bella floats between the older ones and Elise, and little Will is content being coddled as the baby. Soon, he will have a playmate of his very own!

Thanks again for making the long drive to AZ- come back soon!

Already miss all the fun time we had together. Wish Suzanne and her family lived closer.
How can grandma get tired with all the grand kids around? Never!
