MORE Cousins!!!

I always love when family come! This was one of the best visits. No offense to my other family members. I will love it when you come visit me too. Joe brought his family down for Spencer's baptism. I don't think they have missed a baptism or blessing in our family. Joe you are my idol! Let me explain myself before I get into trouble for favoring Joe's family. This year good things are happening for me. My kids are all at an age that I love and Spencer has his problem under control. SOOO, I just loved having Joe's family here. We didn't even need to go places or spend money entertaining the kids. They just wanted to play! AND I didn't have to watch them!! Yes, break time for me! Because Dan and I are living in mom and dad's house we get to have all the company and they have to go back to the temple. That makes me sad, but they are doing what they love! These are just a few pictures that I took of everyone doing their own thing. This is Megan and she is 16. Isn't she beautiful! She is the 1st grandchild. Wow, time flies. She drives and has a boyfriend at home that she missed terribly while she was here. Oh, how I remember those days! If she wasn't hanging out with me, you would find her "texting" or emailing Jason. This is Daniel the 3rd grandchild. He has an amazing personality and reminds me a lot of Spencer in different ways. He loves to tease his sister which reminds me of my brother Matt in many ways. LOL, no offense Matt! Spencer and Daniel played a lot of lego's. This is Ben and Alissa! I don't know their number sorry! I lose track after a certain number. Ben is ALWAYS smiling and Alissa loves to PLAY. I fed them a lot of sugar (whipping cream here). Yes, aunties get to do things like this...sorry Joe!
This is Miranda. She is the most helpful girl I know. She is truly amazing! She was either playing with Maddie or teaching Melanie all about the webkinz world.
AND Joe! This was Joe the first couple days here. He was supposed to be working. It just amazed me how he could work when the kids were literally running around like animals screaming and yelling. What an awesome dad and husband. Heather found out her father was very ill and only had a short time left on this earth. Her father just so happens to live in Simi Valley only 20 minutes away from us. While Heather was with her family in Simi, Joe cared for his 5 kids here...while working. Wow, he was amazing! He even kept my house clean and did my dishes. Thanks Joe for sharing your family with us. We miss you guys already!!!
