Mom and Kayleen's Visit - June 2012

Last month my mom was coming to visit. The day before she came I was trying to clean up and get ready for it when I was walking out to the door to go to the store for some curtains and I look up and see my nephew Ezra and my sister walking to the house! My mom decided to come a day early with my sister and her two boys without telling me. I wish I had the house a little more prepared for them, but it was a great surprise. At least it was my family so it didn't matter too much. 

The first two days it was really cold outside. We actually had to use pants and jackets, which we hadn't done in weeks!

Our trip to Costco. Makai thought it was the coolest thing to hold is older cousins hand. It was too cute!

Ezra and one of his many goofy faces. He gets it from his mom. ;o)

We went on a trip to the park. Chase wasn't feeling well that day, but he still managed to walk over to see the ducks. 

Mom got a bottle of water spilled where
she was sitting. 

Ezra the ham!

The cousins goofing off and having fun together. 

Chase and Ezra are 2 1/2 months apart.

Kyler and Makai are 5 months apart.

One of many attempts to get all of them together. 

Our old friend Matt from our ward in NH came to visit. They live in Orem. My boys took to him really well. In fact, they wouldn't leave him alone. I hope he was too bothered by it.

Matt's cute wife, Emily and son, Eli. Eli was born the same day as Kyler. 

They were having a blast rough housing him. It's hard when daddy's not around. Mommy can't do that kind of stuff much.

Kyler got a hold of my camera and took a couple self portraits. ;o) 

Saying goodbye to my sister and nephews. Makai was hiding his face here, but we could say he was just really sad to go.

Lots of hugs...

Saying goodbye to Auntie Kayleen

Cutest picture ever. Chase and Ezra. They had a blast together.

Kayleen and Mom

 Thanks for coming to visit sister. Next time, hopefully I'll be a little more prepared. ;o) We love you guys and miss you tons!

After we left the airport, we met up with my moms cousin Meeja. (Not sure what that would make her to me. Second cousin maybe?) Anyway, we went to lunch with her. The first time I remember meeting her. She's a very cute, sweet girl! I don't know why I didn't get any pictures with her. 

We went to the South Jordan Temple grounds after our visit.

Touching the temple

Chase wanted to smell the flowers. 

He loved those flowers.

Hanging out with Nana.

Chase fell asleep on the couch and my mom tried to wake him up.

We made a trip up to Bridal Veil Falls. It's so beautiful up there. 

He was slowly trying to get on his belly...

Made it!

        

Can you see Nana??

Kyler was so funny trying to figure out how to get off this rock. He couldn't figure it out for the longest time. 

We ended up staying in a hotel in Salt Lake the night before my mom left. The boys loved it!

We all miss you, Nana! I hope you enjoyed most of your stay here. 

Oh! While they were both here, we went up to the mountains and my old college friend, Nate took some pictures of us all. It was not easy getting the kids to cooperate, but we got some cute ones. I added a bunch of the not so great ones, cause, well, they are great! Just cause it's funny to look back on bloopers.
