Visits with Family!

The last few weeks we have had family in and out of town. This summer it was my family I had my mom visit in late July and we had a blast doing DIY projects with the kids and together. We got out of the house most nights and played hard! I love when my mom comes she has a way to get my creative juices flowing, builds my confidence in many ways and we just have a blast getting the kids all over the place! This trip was no different I miss her when she is gone but I know that the kids will sleep well and have a calm few days to follow.

My dad also made the trip out to see me but he drove here with my Aunt Marilyn they both have issues with flying...and stopping at every casino from home to here (5 to be exact) The trip was different for us then the one we had had a few weeks before with my mom. My dad and aunt came out to see the family and spend time with the girls. They took turns sopiling the girls with shopping trip and playing card games and bring toys from home, not to mention the junk food that came from the car all left over "road food" became "grandpa and auntie grandmas snacks" that they enjoyed sharing with the kiddos. We didnt get out much (unless you count the daily trip to wal mart) and we did a lot of sitting and talking. Every day was a new suprise for the girls and it was all kinds of little things. I think that between the home cooking and the time with the kids they both had a great trip.

I have had a great time getting time with family and seeing everyone! I love my mom and dad so very much and it was an added bonus to have my aunt tag along! We all had a blast on their vacations. But it is now time to get the house back in order and back to work! Back to being committed to running and working out. Back to our daily todo's.

Most of all getting ready for the next milestones in our house with both of our girls. The start of kindergarten and Potty Training.

1 mile down 30 to go. And 18 days to do it....this is going to be close!
