My Parents Were In Town...

Alright, get ready for a blog feast, because we're playing a little blog catch up.....


On Saturday, March 28th, we went and picked up my parents from the airport. They flew in from Virginia! And we waited for them at the foot of the stairs at the airport while Elora held up a little sign that said, "Grandma and Grandpa." Just to make sure they knew where to go, of course. :)


That night, the kids wanted Grandma to read to them....On that Sunday, of course, we celebrated my birthday, but we didn't get any birthday pictures.... What a sorry excuse for a blogger I am... We did go to the Garcia's house, so they could meet my parents. And also so I could have a DELICIOUS meal of chicken mole'. YUM! I also got myself some Costco "Death by Chocolate" cake. DOUBLE YUM! Scott and Jen also came down for the occasion, and Jen looked ready to pop, because she was 9 months pregnant. The next day, my Dad went to a business conference in Salt Lake. And my Mom spent some time finishing making her gifts for her grand-kids. We also spent some time doing some shopping together like we used to do.


Here she is wearing Alisa's tutu on her head, silly Grandma.....
She made Elora an apron that she has practically wanted to wear EVERYDAY since...
And for Max's birthday coming up, she made him a "Super Max" cape....
On Tuesday morning, Grandma "S" made cookies with the kids so Elora could use her new apron...
We were watching Kalissa while Jen went to a doctor's appointment, so we took the kids to the Treehouse Childrens Museum. And of course they loved it! Grandma also thought it was a very neat place to go to. Here is Elora and Kalissa having a tea party...Tuesday night, we took my Mom to Salt Lake to meet up with my Dad and Joe and Kimberly, and had a very nice dinner at P.F. Changs. Mmmmm. Then Mom and Dad went to Joe and Kimberly's house in Provo. Jen had her baby on Wednesday, and they named her Lilia after my Grandma "S." So, then Joe and Kimberly brought my parents up to Tremonton where Scott and Jen live on Friday, and my Mom made homemade spring rolls and Thai chicken satay with peanut sauce. (My favorite meal EVER!)

And here is our family group shot. Too bad Christina wasn't there.And here is the tired new Dad and silly Kalissa and new baby, Lilia.We had a lot of fun spending time together with everyone in the family except Christina. But then it was time to go home. Mom and Dad stayed at Scott and Jen's house until Tuesday morning. We did go back up to Tremonton on Sunday to bring them a lasagna dinner and see Mom and Dad one last time. It was pretty sad to leave. We sure did have a fun time, and hopefully we'll see them again someday soon...
