Visitors!

We had some FUN visitors this past week. My sister Jan and her husband Todd came to visit with their cute family from Idaho. It was so much fun having them here. It was like we were on vaction too! Here is a list of things we did last week.

Saturday: Jan & Todd got here after the long 16 hour drive. They came and ate dinner at our home, along with Mom, Dad, and Jared. The kids went crazy all day asking when are they coming? I think next time they come I'm not going to tell them until 5 minutes before they get here. When they got here the kids went wild! Jan' s kids hadn't seen green grass for 4 months...so they all played outside in Arizona's 70 degree weather. Megan & Nate slept over that night.
Jared layed outside with all the kids under the stars and told stories & jokes. Fun times!

Sunday: Ate dinner over at Mom & Dad's...kids once again played outside.

Monday: Lizzy & Sam came to play while Jan & Todd checked out the great shopping in Gilbert. They couldn't believe all the restaurants & shops. We had a huge gathering with all of our extended family that night. Lori & Walt and Eric & Jody's families came.

Tuesday: I got the boys out of school early and we meet Jan & her kids, and Mom at Makutu's
Island. The kids had a blast! The nice part was that it wasn't even crowded. (because it was during school) The kids ran around for 2 hours in high speed. They were exhausted when we were done. Megan & Nate came to our house to play after, and then to Dallin's 2nd grade performance.


Wednesday: Jan & Todd came over and brought Pei Wei's for dinner. The kids played, Jan & I sliped out and went to Old Navy & Joann's.

Thursday:
On Valentines Day: Jan & I shopped all afternoon. We found some cute shirts at Norstrom Rack. Jan & Todd got tickets to see the suns game, and Jared & I had tickets to hear Sheri Dew speak. So, we went to dinner together, and then went our seperate ways.

Friday: We said your goodbyes. So sad to see them go.

Thanks for visiting guys!
I love getting together with my sister and her family! I wish we lived closer! Next week my younger sister Lisa will come to visit, and my brother Blake gets home from his mission. This has been an exciting month!!!
P.S. This is for you Todd
Zach took this picture of you while sleeping before your trip home. (Were we boring you?)
