Fun weekend with Aunt Becca and Uncle Jay

Last weekend we had a visit from Uncle Jay and Aunt Becca. What a treat! They came for the BYU/UNLV game and stayed with us.


We hadn't been to a BYU game in years. I was curious where Cal's loyalties would be, since he's attended both schools. He cheered loudest for BYU. The weather was perfect! Dallin 'hung' out in the sling the whole time. He was so good! What a trooper. We went with some friends, the Norths. I must have a betting streak in me, 'cause I had the great idea to guess what BYU's end score would be. Looser hosts dinner and a game night. We lost. Vegas must be rubbing off on me. Luckily it's really another great excuse to get together. :)

Dallin meets Aunt Becca and Uncle Jay



While Spence was at school, Jay dared Grant to jump in the very cold swimming pool and swim across...for the fair price of a handful of m&ms. This is him contemplating...

Much to our surprise, he DID swim across! I wish I had a picture of his face on the way back. He looked painfully cold!


This is Grant eating his beloved reward. Would you believe that he did it AGAIN? M&Ms ARE quite delicious. Mean Uncle Jay. :)

We spent a fun afternoon at the park near our house. I'm not sure who had more fun...the kids or Becca and Jay. Saturday was Spencer's soccer game.


Sunday morning kisses. Who can rush getting ready for church when you're having moments like this? Yes, we were late.


Our fun-filled weekend was topped off with a Gladys Knight concert. Cal's parents are in the SUV choir directed by Gladys herself. It was VERY refreshing! Their Christmas CD is one of my favorites! It's got a lot of soul. The concert was really fun. Check out her website at http://www.suvchoir.org/index.html

What a great weekend.

That does look like a fun weekend! I miss you guys so much! Two days ago I was driving behind a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk, and she had this luxurious thick, brown hair pulled up into a pony tail, and she was bobbing along like a certain friend of mine and I got all excited and then remembered....oh wait, she is in Vegas. And she would have three boys swirling around her :)

I'm so glad to see pics and hear news. I was just complaining to Chris last night that you're a worse blogger than me and he quickly pointed out that I have NO excuses, one easy child and you have three rough and tumble ones and that I should give you a break. Ok, duly chastised, but it's great to see pics!!! We miss you guys TONS!!
