a weekend of visitors

We had some visitors this weekend! We always enjoy when friends & family come to town.



It started with Craig Valentine, one of Wes' good friends from his high school days in Georgia. Craig lives in LA right now so we get to see him every few months. He stayed with us on Friday night and then Wes and Craig went golfing Saturday morning. Once they got back, I had to run errands for work and made a pit stop at Star Nursery on my way home to pick up some flowers. Once I got home, we played soccer with Nate in the driveway and then the boys went to check out the M Resort that recently opened near our house. Nate and I spent the rest of Saturday afternoon planting flowers. Lets just say we were both COVERED in dirt/sand/mud when we were done but it was F U N. {I have no photos of Craig!}

Craig left Saturday night just in enough time for round two of visitors to come! We got to spend Sunday afternoon/evening with Dave, Lynnette & their two boys (Dave is Wes' cousin). We used to see Dave and Lynnette quite often when we all lived in Utah but we haven't seen them in almost four years. It was great to catch up. Nate L O V E D playing with his second cousins. He followed Jackson (the 2 year old) all over and enjoyed having a buddy. I'm contemplating adopting a three year old. It's amazing how Nate suddenly doesn't need his mama as much when there's a playmate.

We learned to share the chair as they watched Finding Nemo . . .





Sunday afternoon was spent outside while the boys ran around and rode firetrucks/bikes & played in the sandbox. The weather was P E R F E C T. This cute family stayed with us Sunday night. Everything was great except that Dave got really sick Sunday night. Food poisoning, maybe? He seems to be doing a little better now. It was fun to have three crazy little boys in our house!

Thanks for coming, Dave & Lynnette. We loved seeing you & your adorable boys.
