Our latest visitors...

As most everyone knows Shannon and her family came out to visit us for a week. I had a great time with them here so did most of my family (I don't know about Anthony). It was great to see how much Liz has changed since last time I saw her she was 5 months old and now she is 14 months old. Poor Liz wasn't feeling up to par while she was here but she sure is a cutie.

We had a busy week while they were here, on Monday (Memorial Day) we went out on the boat. Eric, Emma and Shannon all went on the inner tube, then Shannon water skied. It was fun to watch them have a good time. We stopped and swam for a little while which was fun too. Dallin surprised me when he feel asleep on the boat and we were driving it like 40-50 mph and bouncing all over the place. Silly boy.

Then on Tuesday we went to zoo, Eric stayed home with Liz because she was running a fever. Here are some pictures of the kids at the zoo. The first one is of the kids waiting in line for the touch tank. The next one is them touching the different things in there.

Emma kept trying to get a butterfly to get on her finger. She succeeded a couple of times, even though she wasn't supposed to do that.

Mom made all the girls matching short set. This I must say was a pain trying to get Liz to stay and everyone to smile so we could get a picture of them. Josie had her dance rehearsal on Wednesday afternoon. So here she is in her dance costume.

Isn't she cute?

This is all the classes coming out and practicing the finale. She is the first cowgirl out on the stage.

Shannon and I decided to have a birthday party for the kids while they were here. This is what we got Emma, it is a pet day care to go with her Lil spurt cabbage patch kid.

Shannon's family gave my kids an ocean animal set. Anthony really likes the penguin that came out of it.We picked out some pirate toys for Dallin to complete his pirate outfit that we gave him for Christmas.

I love to buy silly things for Eric so of course I had to get him a little something.

This is flaarp. As you press it down into the container it makes farting noises. He really enjoyed playing with it. Check out the hotties...

Anthony decided one day that he really liked Liz, he kept hugging her. Except this one looks more like a choke hold. Then Josie had to get in on the action. Poor Liz, to much lovin.We went to Winter Quarters, the kids had fun trying to pull the hand cart. Afterwards, we went to the Kanesville Tabernacle. The kids had fun playing with all the pioneer things.

Thanks for coming out Eric, Shannon, Emma, Dallin and Liz. We had a great time with all of you. We love you!
