A Visit from Uncle Doug

Not long after Kathy left Uncle Doug (my brother) came to visit with his 2 year old daughter Laci. He happened to have a week off of work so at the last minute (2 days before) we booked a ticket and they came out. Unfortunately, Shelia did not have off of work so she graciously let them come out even though it was tough on her. We surprised all the family including Mom. It was a quick 5 day trip (that was all Shelia could stand for them to be away) but we had lots of fun. The boys loved Uncle Doug and thought Laci was great. Jilliann and Laci played and fought like sisters. Laci would love on Jilliann non-stop and often choke Jilliann in the process of hugging her neck. It was so cute!

A visit from Aunt Kathy

Kathy came all the way from Alaska to stand next to an Alaskan brown bear in Sedona, AZ!




Aunt Kathy came to visit (John's Sister). She flew out for a week from Alaska to hot Arizona. Her goal was to hang out by the pool and tan as much as possible. Man, she did great. She left tan but probably not very relaxed. The kids had fun seeing her and she was shocked at how much they all grew. John took some time off and we drove up to Sedona while the kids were in school. It is beautiful up there and much cooler. While she was here we had a few storms and an amazing double rainbow. The boys loved having someone to go in the pool with all the time and Christian got even DARKER laying out with Kathy. In Sedona we got all the kids suckers with scorpions in them but Jilliann is the only one that would eat it. The boys were freaked out. AHH...to be young and dumb again!
