When One Family Comes, They All Come!

We can go 3 or 4 months without any of the kids coming to our house to stay, and then all of a sudden they ALL come, weekend after weekend after weekend!!  And this last weekend was Jaime and Brads' turn to come down!!

 

We had given Jaime and Brad a gift certificate to stay at a B and B in Manitou Springs for their 10th wedding anniversary (2 years ago!!!)!!  Between their hectic schedules and ours, it finally worked out for them to stay there last Friday night and we babysat the kids!!

 

Jaime and Brad dropped off the kids at our work mid-afternoon and we hung around till around 4:00, grabbed some smoothies for the road and then headed on home!!  Glenn was on an install in Buena Vista so didn't get home till later that evening!!

 

We enjoyed watching a movie that evening and the kids both slept up in the loft with us!!

 

 

 Glenn usually cooks pancakes for the kids and this Saturday was no exception!!  Rayna requested a pancake that looked like a piece of bacon - and that's what she got!!

 I had purchased a big bag full of Hot Wheels tracks and tricks and Kylan and I managed to finally figure out how most of the pieces went together - he had a ball playing with it!!

 Rayna is now 11 and seemed to be stuck to her phone most of the weekend!!  But she took time out to join Kylan and me on the front deck Saturday morning and we played catch and ring toss - and got our exercise every time the ball or ring flew off the deck to the lower one!!

Jaime and Brad arrived around noon and sure enjoyed their stay - they actually got upgraded to a different room and it was the one Glenn and I had stayed in, the Under The Sea room!!

I made Miami vices and taught Jaime how to play Ruzzle on her IPhone - I have NEVER won in this game against Jessi so it was fun to actually play with someone who I COULD beat!!!  We played game after game...............

 The guys actually played SORRY with Kylan which he thoroughly enjoyed but the picture posted in the wrong spot of course!!

And I actually tried one more new recipe this last weekend - Alice Springs Chicken - and it turned out amazing!!!  Definitely a keeper!!

We played some pool that evening - Glenn folded up the treadmill and stuck it in the lower hallway so we had more room to play - I was walking by it and my sweater got on the latch and released it, causing the part you walk on to come down on my shoulder - OUCH - it really hurt!!!  And today I have one sore shoulder so am not doing a lot today!!!

 It was an early Sunday morning for all of us as they had to get up and out the door by 7:00 in order to get back up to Denver - the kids were singing in church and the family was also being recognized for joining the church that day!!!

So another fun weekend with kids and grand kids!!  And hopefully the next time they all come down, the weather will be nice and warm for lots of outdoor activities!!!
