Visitors Galore!!

I feel like we rarely have visitors. We built a guest room and a guest bathroom in the basement and we hardly ever get to use it. Until last week, that is, when we had three different waves of visitors come through!!

My high school friend, Karen, and her family came on Sunday night and stayed until Monday morning. We had a lot of fun catching up and the kids had fun playing. The girls latched right on to her daughter, Ashlee. They were very impressed with her ability to run fast. When she came with us to drop the girls off at school on Monday morning, Audrey told one of her friends, "This is our friend Ashlee. She can run really fast. Show her your moves, Ashlee!" Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures!! Maybe we will all see each other again in another ten years...

My sister also came into town that night with her two boys. We hadn't gotten to meet Nolan yet, and we were all excited to snuggle up with that cute baby!!

Lincoln and Royal also got a chance to become reacquainted.

Erin and I had fun laying low on Monday, which was good because it turned out that Lincoln had croup! Her husband, Dave got into town that night and then they left to go to Park City Tuesday morning.

But that is not all. No, that is not all.

Wednesday morning my mom got into town. We had fun just doing things around town during the week--we didn't want to have too much fun because the kids were all in school. We went on a long bike ride and we did take Lincoln to the fountains at the mall one day.

This is how he looked soon after getting a nose-full of water at the fountains. Poor guy.
We also surprised the girls by showing up to have lunch with them at school on Friday. They were thrilled! Lincoln loved bringing his lunch box and eating with the big kids, too.

On Saturday we packed up and went into downtown Denver to the Unsinkable Molly Brown house. The kids did really well on the tour and enjoyed the museum part where they were actually allowed to touch something.

We then took Grammie to Belleview Park for a nice picnic lunch and a fun afternoon playing in the river.

Grammie was on her way to Park City this morning, but she will be back through along with Grandpa, Erin and her boys again at the end of the month! We are excited to have more visitors then!!

My favorite thing to remember this week:
Lincoln can't pronounce his "GR" sound, so Grammie is "Blammie." But then for some reason he kept clarifying who he was talking about every time he spoke of Grammie to me, so she became "Your Mommy, Blammie." It was cute.
