Busy Weekend with Friends

It was a busy weekend here in Sweet Home! We enjoyed a fun weekend visiting with Jen & Brady, along with the kids Brooklyn & Jason. Kristin & Jason were inseparable...and Ryan spent lots of time with Brooklyn--and she even shared some of her time with me!! (She usually gives ALL her attention to Ryan!)

Saturday morning we spent some time visiting, and the guys took off for a church Mens BBQ. Jen's sister, Melissa, along with hubby Rodney, and son Brandon showed up for a visit. We enjoyed watching the kids play, and spent some time catching up. It's amazing how much kids grow in just a few months!

After a while, Jen's Brother Eric (the third of the triplets) showed up with his new toy...a quad. Jason couldn't get his shoes on fast enough to get outside to see it. First sitting on it was OK, then having it run and sitting on it was OK...then he wanted a ride (OK, it was actually Jenny who wanted the ride). Uncle Eric unloaded the quad and gave Jen & Jason a ride...then Jen & Rodney each took a solo ride. As you can see from the pictures, there were smiles on everyones faces---except for Brooklyn, who was very scared of it! Eric & his new girlfriend Sandy visited for a short time, and then took off to go play on the new quad.

We spent an afternoon of playing Wii...as the outside time was done, and it was raining. Three of the kids napped...and the adults visited and had quite a challenge on Wii. I must say, Rodney has great form! The guys showed up, and we visited more, until Rodney, Lissa & Brandon headed for home. Jen & I made Alfredo & Spaghetti, and enjoyed fresh rolls, which Brooklyn helped me bake.

We enjoyed an evening of visiting, and Robert agreed to play us some tunes on the guitar...which we all enjoyed.

Sunday morning we headed to church, unfortunately without Bill who was suffering a migraine, and enjoyed a great message. Afterward, we headed home for lunch....which Brooklyn made all by herself!! It seemed all too soon as they packed up & headed for home. It was a great visit...but certainly much too long in between!

Until next time....
