Holiday Weekend

We had an awesome holiday weekend.  My brother Sheldon is doing AIT and was able to get a four-day pass.  My parents picked him up and drove here to Virginia to visit us.  Daniel and Amy and Lois and Jeff and families also joined the festivities. 

About a month ago Sam and Shawna had their first baby...born on Friday the 13th!  He is such a cutie.  I can't wait to meet him in person!




The fun weekend started Friday night.  Shortly after Sheldon and my parents arrived we walked to Elkton Eyecare.  While Lee gave my parents eye exams the rest of us went to the playground with Sheldon.  He's quite the popular uncle! We had dinner and watched a movie and waited for people to come in.  Saturday morning everyone was here.  Lee left for work and all the moms came with me to a Relief Society activity that I was somewhat in charge of. After the activity we went to Sharp Shopper!  We had a great time shopping! We were not disappointed--there were some great deals!









Later that afternoon we took a walk and I showed everyone my "dream" home just around the corner.  Okay, it's more like a "realistic" house that I want to buy someday.  I go back and forth between buying a starter home, buying a big house or building a house. 


This is the house that I like.  Right now it is for rent.  Lee and I went and saw it a few weeks ago.  There were 17 of in the yard.  I am sure the neighbor was wondering what was going on when he pulled up.  At least we were leaving when get got home.


We did an impromptu photo shoot.










Daniel and Amy went on a bike ride.  I am showing Amy a little about my bike. I didn't even realize that Haley had taken this picture.




Probably texting Sarah.








Sheldon's birthday was on the 7th so we had a delayed birthday party.  Happy Birthday Sheldon!










Cal playing Angry Birds with Dad.  Sheldon told me that Cal is actually really good at it, ha ha.


Probably more Angry Birds!


Daniel brought his new game Bang!.  It was very fun.  I am excited to play it again.  Thanks Daniel!


My dad was the Sheriff.


After Bang! we went to Elkton Eyecare and Lois and I helped my mom pick out some glasses.  She got some really cute Guess rimless glasses. It was so fun going there together.  We had some good laughs as well.

Sunday morning my Mom snapped a few pictures of the kids.








After church we ate and later went on google+ with some of my other family.  Lois brought some oh-so-divine truffles and shared them.  YUM!  Thanks for making them Lois!  It's always great being together with family.  Thank you everyone for coming!
