We have been so lucky to have two of my siblings come and visit us unexpectedly in the past few weeks. Seeing my brothers and sisters makes me very happy- they are all such fun people to be around....On Memorial Day I was feeling yucky and lying in bed and there was a knock on my door and much to my surprise it was my sister Brittnee and her cute little baby Logan!!!! What an AWESOME surprise! Within moments my stomach ache was gone- it was so fun to have her at my house...She had made a last minute decision to come see us- we had a fun few days and I loved seeing her baby Logan. He is a cute little guy and my kids loved seeing baby yogan and Aunt Itne too. Logan put up with some tormenting from Maycee- a few blind sided smacks on the head. Maycee has some work to do on expressing her feelings verbally instead of physically.
One day we went to the zoo- it was a beautiful day in Denver and the kids had a blast seeing all the animals. My mom was down this week, too, so she joined us at the zoo. We also had an unforgettable evening at Costa Vida- and not because the food was good... I mean it was good, but it was hard to enjoy after watching Maycee take down 2 trays as she feel off her chair. Gotta love taking 2 year olds out to eat.
Last week my brother Brett decided to come see us as he had a few days off before starting to teach summer school... We had a great time with Uncle Brett....One thing I love about Brett he that he is full of great one liners. My favorites from this visit were the "torture chamber" (referring to Abby's room as that is where she "plays" with our kittens) and my other favorite is when he was talking about someone "being all up in his buizness" too funny. He makes me laugh. Brett has great taste in music and he put some great music on my computer that I can't wait to get on my ipod. On Sunday I managed to get Blake and Brett to watch Twilight.. Secretly, I think they loved it as much as I did. As payback, Blake and Brett made me go out for BBQ last night. There is a place called Serious Texas BBQ that Blake was really jazzed about... The kids couldn't stop making comments about how they were eating pig. They downed the pork- I stayed away. The best part about the meal was the Bluebell Ice Cream which is Brett's favorite. We were lucky enough to find it twice while he was here as the had a place in Estes Park where we indulged as well.

lovin' the sibling report, and also the pictures are great! Brett's one liners stay with me, too: anytime I wash my car I'm "gettin' the Honda pimped out" and anytime I drink something over 32 oz w/ caffeine, it is a "kidney buster." Lots of fun!!!
What a nice family! how nice to have them (kinda) close. looks like fun!
A fun read--yes, Brett's one liners are very entertaining. I wish I could remember all of them. He needs to write a book. I'm so glad you kids like to be together.
