The Fun Family Visit

My sister, Lorianne, her husband, Brad and 8 of their children came to visit us the weekend of the big race!! I LOVED having them here!! You would think it would be more work with all those people in the house, but it was the OPPOSITE! They were fantastic house guests that are welcome back anytime, though they may need to not teach Maggie another "eggs" skit. LOL! She and Emma are doing it nonstop now!! AHHH! But, it's a small price to pay to get to hang out with the Frisbies for the weekend.

Here are a few of the fun things we tried to pack into a small amount of time.
Sorry, but I don't have the energy to put these in chronological order.

Aren't they adorable? The kids were having a great time playing dress up and dancing to music.
He's a ROCK STAR!
Allison and Maggie cutting a rug! They were actually pretty good!
Santa meets Jimmy Hendricks meets Bradyn....
We took the Frisbies out to one of our favorite spots, Black Tail Reservoir. And it just wouldn't be right if we didn't play Frisbee with the Frisbies. :)
Allison, Christina and Makayla too off on the raft and looks like they had fun!
Brad was giving swimming lessons, too! They did pretty good.Iz and I got a little break from the group and went on a short trip around the lake.
Let's get in!!
My brother in law is AWESOME!! He totally got our 2nd bathroom framed in!! YEAH!! Apparently, he needs to feel useful while he's around and we're happy to oblige.

The family came to Mesa Falls to cheer Israel and myself in our Half Marathon!! I am SOOO glad they could come! It was really comforting to know they were at the finish line.
Look who has a new buddy? Do you see the look of pure admiration on her face!?
Hey Brad! I'm sure we can think up another home improvement project for next year, so you can bring your beautiful family back to visit us!!! We miss you guys already!
