The day after we got back to Provo we had lotsa family in town!
My baby brother, Scott, and the husband's sister, Caitlan, are both freshman this year at BYU! Woot Woot!! So we had my mom, my baby brother, my older brother, the husband's mom, and the husband's sister all arriving in town the day after we got back. It was so great to see all of them! After a rocky drive up [rocky as in 2 popped tires, ruined wheel, rental car, 3 hour delay, nobody hurt.....] they came and had dinner with us, it was awesome.
Over the weekend Scott and Caitlan got settled into their BYU life, Dan got back into his groove, and we got to hang out with our mothers for a bit. It was wonderful!
On Thursday we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple:
On Friday night we had a get together with my mom's side of the family. It was super fun.
Good long game of Egyptian Rat Screw...
Food and talking....
And a good ol' game of kickball.......Yes, I played and yes, I did hurt the next day lol but it was fun
That Saturday my wonderful Aunt Judy also threw me a family baby shower! It was cute and fun! It was mostly great to be able to spend time with family [especially since both mothers were able to attend] - we even had the folks from Idaho come down - what a fun surprise! Aunt Judy threw a fabulous shower with fabulous food, fabulous games, and fabulous flair, as she does everything in life. I'm so blessed to be surrounded by so many family members who are so loving and supportive - it was great to see a large majority of them under one roof!
Tuesday night we had a good-bye meal at Goodwood:
The mothers stayed for a few more days and then took off for Houston. But, the plan is that they will both be back [with other family members in tow..] in a few short weeks once Baby Evette decides to join us. PS - do you know how hard it is to plan things when you have no idea when the baby will decide to come? Oh well - she's calling the shots right now, and I'm just fine with that as long as she is happy and healthy!
hey cute girl, would you do me a favor? I think everyone keeps forgetting your cousin Haylee is in SL. I know she'd love to know about these family get togethers! Just sayin;) thanks
