Where to Start...?

Well, after having Brady's parents here for a week and his Aunt Kelly here for three days, I have a TON to blog about...but where to start? The most exciting part of the week isn't my story to tell so I'll have to wait until Galen and Annice get home and share what they want to with all the siblings, then maybe I can put a few pictures up of that day. Here is one from the evening they arrived. Brady got them home from the airport around 6:30 p.m. and we sat down and had a nice dinner of cowboy stew and breadsticks. The kids were so excited to have them here. Jordan wanted them to sit right down after dinner and read to him.

Wednesday was spent running a few errands in the morning with Annice, then Galen and Annice went to institute with Brady. We hung out with the kids in the afternoon, had dinner, then sent Brady, Galen and Annice off to institute again that evening! They stopped at Jeremiah's for Italian ice on the way home...and even brought one home for me! Yum.

Thursday morning the threesome headed off to Starke, FL. More details of that day later. When they came home, they brought this GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS flat of strawberries from Kelly. Mmmm...we enjoyed them all weekend long. Brady also brought me a beautiful, big Easter lilly.

Annice helped put together about two and a half puzzles while she was here. This is a 1,000 piece puzzle that they all put together...only to find that one piece was missing! Now that has happened before, remember the Mickey puzzle? Aargh! The reward is still out on the missing piece - no one has found it yet.

More later on the rest of the weekend. Here's a picture taken today, just before the West Point Nixons headed home.
