Visitors...


Came and left awhile ago but I am late getting pictures up. Sorry! Life gets busy and you don't even know it. We loved having Aunt Kensi come out. She came just in time for Tyler's finals so we loved having the company. We all got haircuts, colors, and all the pampering she could give. It was awesome. Did we mention that we love you Kensi and think that you are the best. After finals week, Tyler got a week off so we headed down to St. Louis to enjoy the awesome weather we were having. They have got a cool Zoo that is FREE. We went there both days that we were there and had a blast. I don't know who was more excited to be there, the girls or Kensi. It was fun seeing all the animals but I think our favorite were the Hippos. It was so cool to see them swimming around. Barry was in absolute heaven. He loved every minute of being outside and refused to nap because of it but he was so happy anyways. And the girls did awesome. They were both so worn out by the end of the day but loved being at the Zoo again.
That night Kensi treated us to a great dinner were we found out that Hallie loves SALAD. She ate most of Kensi's and then asked for more. It is so fun to watch our kids grow up. I love each new thing that they discover.

After that great visit we had another. Jessica and Chris came. They drove straight through the night to get here quicker. We had a couple days of Birthday Celebrations with Chris, Jessica, and Hallie all having their birthdays that week. And Jessica was a great help with Hallie's birthday party. I couldn't have done it without her. Chris also got to experience a day at Medical School with Tyler. He fit right in and would do awesome if he ever decided to go!

We also got to go to Nauvoo with them. (Sorry Kensi we didn't make it with you, I still feel awful about that). It was a great day and we really enjoyed seeing a lot of the sights around Nauvoo. Our favorites were the Oxen ride, the bakery, and walking around the temple. Thanks Chris and Jessica for coming. We look forward to your return trip in October so hurry and get here.
