Last week I got a call from my Mom saying that she was coming to town! Jonny and I headed down to Salt Lake Thursday night, to await her arrival Friday afternoon. Whenever Jonny and I go to Salt Lake we end up filling up the whole back end of our SUV, it's insane! How can 2 people really take that much stuff? Rox loves the car, and loves (like every dog I am sure) sticking her head out the window!
Friday morning my cousin Phila came over for me to do her hair and nails for a wedding that night. It was so fun to just relax in my pj's and hang out with her and just be girls!
Waiting for Mom's plane to come! It was like waiting for Christmas. I don't know what it is, but you can never plan just right the timing to pick someone up at the airport, either too early and your driving around, or too late and your party is waitin for ya. Luckily we were early rather than late, so the suspension built up.
My little sister, Alyssa, and Jonny.
And she's here! I am definitely the black sheep in my family. My sister's look just like my mom! I must have been switched at birth- just kidding!
After picking up my Mom we headed over to my Aunt Jan's for a bit. James Craig is getting so big, I can't believe it!
He HEARTS Jonny too! I think it's so cute!
Anything Jonny would do, James Craig would tell him to 'do it again!'.
Table dancinT Tora Belle and James Craig know how to rock out! They are dancin on the dance table!
Why is it that some kids just don't know how to meet knew people, they get so nervous and scared. That's exactly what Tora did with my Mom. She just looked at her like 'who are you?'. 
Roxy and her BFF's. My aunt Jill's house is full of rowdy dogs, and if any movement happens outside they are waiting for it. They all could spend all day just looking out the front door in hopes of someone walking by.
Crazy Jonathan!
Saturday we all headed over to this awesome park! The weather was so nice outside! This park is so cool bc it's big enough for adults to walk thru all of it with their kids!
My aunt Jan with Tora and Fenway- going down the slide!
... seems to be going ok....
...but a crash landing at the end.
In this picture James Craig is yelling at Jonny 'Pick me up! Pick me up!
My cousin Jessie with her little Tora.
Kodak moment of Fenway- look at her messy face and staticy hair! She's so funny!
My 'what do you want' face.
My cousin Theresa's husband, Jeremy, tied balloon's around all the kid's waist to find them quick in the blizzard of kids. Hey, it worked!
Jonny being the funnest person ever to play with! James Craig spent about 10 minutes running under Jonny's legs, he thought that was the funniest thing in the world. Like I say, he loves Jonny! At the park he was walking around going 'JJJJOOOONNNYYYY'. Jonny has soo much energy, I honestly don't know where he gets it from!
Tora was so cute with these strawberries, I wish I would have gotten it on video. She would pick up a strawberry, make a face, put it back in the box and close the lid. Then open the lid, grab a strawberry and repeat the whole process about 3 times.
At least one of us looks good, Jonny made that face on purpose- what a stinker!
Anika!
I look around the park and what do I see, Jonny and a few kids playing on this bar on the opposite side of the park. So funny that we have this huge park on the other side, and here they are being entertained with this bar! Who needs a huge park when you have this!
Kristie and Mike! Believe it or not but this is about the 4th picture we had to take to get Mike to be remotely serious! He like to be a brat for the camera, but we get him every once in a while!
My favorite baby- baby Bailee Renee!
My Mom and her wanna-be grand baby.
How is it that kids can just click so fast! Anika met Evelyn and in about 10 seconds they were running off together having a blast!
Bailee Renee licking me! Look at her cute little tounge, I love her!
How cute are they!?
Look at Bailee's face! If pictures could talk- she would have something to say. She pulls the funniest faces all the time!
Sunday- after going with Jonny's parents to listen to his dad talk in Sacrament we headed over to Jill's for our last day with my Mom. It was a nice relaxing day, with the family. The kids were cracking me up! My aunt Jill is the best for coming up with 'helpful' activities for the kids to do, first thing on the list to weed the garden. They were having a blast!
Little Olivia tried to get in on the action, and was so cute trying to put on her working gloves.
Got one!
Fenway was so funny, she picked up a leaf and yelled 'is this a weed??'
Having fun playing with thier shadows!
POOR MAN'S POOL!
Jill was watering the lawn and all the kids wanted to get in on the action, so off come the clothes and they all ran thru the water sprayer until the poor flowers Jill was watering were drowning. But those kids did not want to stop! So Jill got out some buckets and filled them up with that cold water, and they loved it! They were in those water buckets until Jonny and I left at 7pm!
Thanks mom for coming out- till next time! And CONGRATS to my baby sister Andrea for graduating high school this week and getting her full scholorship to college!! So proud!!
