A surprise visit!

Last month, I came home one night from a party and to my complete surprise found my parents standing in my kitchen! I had no idea they were coming. They had come to see the new house we bought and help us move. We also took the kids swimming at their motel. My mom told me that she wanted to tell me she was coming every time she talked to me on the phone, but my dad wouldn't let her. I'm glad they kept it a secret because I was sure surprised!

Brycen's first piano recital

Brycen had his first piano recital in June. He played Yankee doodle, Book of Mormon stories and We''ll bring the world his truth. He did a great job!

Mike and Richard come to visit

The first part of May, Mike and Richard (my brothers) came to visit. Jared and the kids hadn't seen Richard since he came home from his mission. We had lots of fun while they were here. We made a trip to the beach and flew kites and had a picnic. We had a hot dog roast/marshmallow roast in our backyard. We went up to a park near our house and played a soccer game. Jared took Richard and Mike golfing. They got to come to church with us and Brycen and Blake loved wrestling them on the trampoline. It was fun to have them visit!
