Grande, D, and Aunt Jess come to town!

At the end of July, my Dad, Mom and sister Jess came to visit. We had such a fun time, and we loved having them and showing them our new Texas life.

Whenever we would go see my parents in California, Audrey would sleep with Aunt Jess, which was fine because Aunt Jess has a king size bed. Audrey wanted to return the favor and let Aunt Jess sleep with her, in her twin bed. Aunt Jess so kindly obliged.


D introduced Joshua to yogurt and granola for breakfast, and he loved it. Here they are doing 'cheers' with their spoons.



We went to the pool and such a fun time with their underwater camera.








My favorite one.


After swimming we went to Taco Bueno (like a Taco Bell). Joshua was very pleased.


We went to the Bass Pro Shop to check it out. Joshua couldn't keep his eyes off the bear.


Nothing like a little target practice.




Since it was so close to Audrey's birthday, my parents gave Audrey her gifts here in Texas. She especially loved the doctor kit,




and her very own set of scriptures. My parents have my set from when I was her age that I colored in during family scripture time. Priceless.



Playing Rook. Audrey was a very good helper.




Audrey is signed up for soccer, so being the soccer star she is, Aunt Jess was able to give some one on one coaching to Miss Audrey. Audrey didn't want to wear the shin guards, but once we explained to her that they were like soccer jewelry, she was all over it.


Everyone got involved. It was so fun.







Thank you for coming and spoiling us rotten. We love you so much! And I love these pictures of Aunt Jess and Audrey.

I love the soccer jewelry! You are SO quick on your feet with your cute responses! Christian and I loved that! We decided we need to practice so we can have as good as answers to Abby's random questions like Audrey's Mama! :) THanks again! You guys are awesome!
