After having been in our house for just over two weeks we welcomed our first round of house guests. My niece Summer came to visit some of her friends from Utah and was going to spend a night at my sister Rachael's house so we decided to get together and have some pizza and hang out for a little while.
Next on the list was my younger brother Scott. Scott, who lives in Arizona, met up with his fiance Meagan, who lives in Provo for School, in Vegas to get their engagement pictures taken. Since Scott was on his spring break he decided to come up with Meagan to spend a little more time with her and with us. The night they got here we had dinner with Rachael and Amy.
The next morning Scott hung out with Meagan down in Provo and then they returned for another fun night at our house. We took a little photo shoot of them and we think they should consider using them either for their invitations or to put in their portfolio's for modeling.
Scott was here only another day before he headed back home and my mother was on her way to visit us. I picked her up from the airport after I got off of work on Tuesday afternoon. Since this was her first time at the house I gave her the tour. Once Michelle got home we went to dinner at Rubio's to use one of Michelle's birthday coupons. Later that night, after we had all gone to bed, my dad arrived. While they were here we did a lot of hanging out at the house, but we did manage to have some fun. We went on walks, trips to the store, watched a lot of the NCAA tournament, went to Kneaders for breakfast, went to the mall, went to Wal-Mart several times, and few other little things. On Friday night we got together with some family friends that live North of us. Meagan was able to join us for the evening. After dinner we returned to our house. While my parents talked down stairs with their friends the rest of us spent rest of the night getting Drew to try and walk. He did take a few steps pretty well, but it might have been more of a falling forward with a little movement of the feet rather than real walking. I wish I had gotten his best one on video.
On Saturday morning we went to watch Rachael play basketball with her ward team. Rachael was able to get some good game time in and help lead her team to a victory. The other team didn't have a chance. Just look at the three pointer she had.
We all enjoyed the game very much and surely brought the moral of the team up so high that it wouldn't have been possible to lose. After allowing Rachael to get ready we headed to Tucano's to use Michelle's birthday coupon.
As usual we ate way too much of some really good food, but enjoyed it none the less and couldn't pass up an opportunity to celebrate the Michelle's birth. The workers were kind enough to sing to her, but she had to share the song with another patron.
On Sunday we attended our Stake Conference. It was during Drew's usual nap time so he was a little fussy, but I was able to go into the primary room and let him play while I watched Stake conference on TV. For lunch we invited my cousin JJ and his wife Linda over for lunch along with Rachael and Amy. We enjoyed having some good food and a lot of conversation before it was time for my parents to get there stuff together and hit the road. As tradition goes, we had to get a photo with my parents and Drew and a couple of Rachael and I with them before they left for good.
We enjoyed their visit very much and It was great to finally have room to have people visit without having to make them stay the night at someone elses house. We look forward to many more guests so let us know if you're in town and need a place to stay.
