VIsitors from Minnesota and Alaska

We were very excited for Mema and Papa to come visit us in Idaho (Sam and Ava were especially excited) and they surprised us by bringing Aunt Stephanie and Cousin Svea for the weekend! They all stayed downtown at the Hampton Inn for the weekend so the kids had a blast swimming at the hotel, having sleepovers at the "palace", hanging out with cousin Svea, and hanging out with Mema and Papa.


In addition to all the things above, we also went bowling, the kids went to the Discovery Center, Dinner at PF Changs, hanging out at the Village at Meridian and lunch at Chik Fil A, and just hanging out at the hotel - lots of games of Hungry Hippo!


 Bowling at Big Als

 

 

 Papa, Stephanie and Svea left after the weekend, but Mema stayed with us another week to help with cooking, cleaning, and toddler management, as well as spend some time holding new baby Gavin.  The kids had such a fun week with Mema!!!

Mema took Sam and Ava to a movie, spent a morning at JumpTime, Storytime at the Library, Dr Seuss event and Chik Fil A, and read lots and lots and lots of books, .......


....Took us to Ice Cream in Hyde Park after Camel's Back Park.


...Made pizzas with us and watched Frozen for Girls Night (Boys were at Monster Trucks!)


 ...went on walks and out to lunch with Mom and Ava.


...Played lots of games of Hungry Hippo, Memory Frozen Match game, and even 
some indoor bowling....


It was a full and fun weekend and week!

Life with Gavin


 

 Brothers and Sister


We all fit in the car..... Barely!

The first two weeks were a blur of baby, sleeplessness, doctors appointments and changing diapers.....  Gavin is very loved by his brother and sister and they ask to hold him and kiss him all the time!!!  


This little guy is just too cute!
