Visit From My Parents

My parents came to visit last weekend. We were able to share our new home with them, our new city, church, neighborhood and time with the kids. We spent a lot of quality time at the house playing with the kids, playing outside and eating meals together as a family. The kids enjoyed their company and we were thankful for the time we had together in our new AZ life.

Here are some pictures of our time together. Thanks mom and dad for making the trip out here to spend time with us. It really meant a lot to all of us that you came here to see us. I know traveling is hard but time with family is priceless and someday we will not have it anymore. The kids and I will have these pictures and memories forever.

Grandpa looking at a sticker book with the kids. Naming each item and putting stickers all over each other and the book.

Pete and Jamie decorating a birthday cake for me. It was topped with LOTS of sprinkles, gummy bears, M&M's and little fingerprints and holes.

The new pool we set up. It's so cute with two separate pools, a slide and a dolphin sprinkler. It will get a lot of use, especially when mom isn't up to getting in the big pool every day.
Sticker book again with Nana and Grandpa. There was a spider sticker and Grandpa would act like it was crawling up her arm and tickle her neck. She loved it.
The new Toy Story bedding Nana and Grandpa bought for Pete and his new big boy bed. He loves it and asks us to "cover me up" in them all the time. Thanks so much for this gift for Pete's new room. We will think of you every time we use it!
And the cutest owl lamp you have ever seen for Jamie's room. Pete helped us set it up and was so excited to show it to her and turn it on. It's perfect for her and we appreciate it so much. Mom and dad couldn't resist buying it for their little pumpkin.
Feeding the ducks.
The kids and a very brave goose.
We spent Saturday evening at our church. It was a perfect night and we were so proud to take my parents with us. We love our church and when we can't go we miss it. I was so happy my parents got to go with us. After church we ate dinner outside, watched the kids play, P. and Pete hiked the mountain and we had frozen yogurt. What a wonderful night.

Thanks again mom and dad. For making the trip, our gifts and for helping us with our new home.
