February: Week 1

Wow, what a week! It has been so fun having my parents home. I love it. Here's what we've been up to.
.
Tuesday. My parents both slept in, my dad till 10 and my mom till 11. They were both exhausted from travelling. As soon as Mckinley woke up from her morning nap I took her over there so they could see her when she's fun and not just super tired. We had a good time. Later that night the whole family got together for a dinner. We had an awesome time just talking with my parents and everything. They brought home lots of presents for the grandkids and some stuff for us too.

Our little family.
.
All the adults.

Mom and Dad with all the grandkids.

.
Wednesday I went to work early, then did some major grocery shopping. I didn't see my parents that day. It was Groundhog Day so we watched Groundhog Day with some of Brandon's brothers.
.
Thursday my little sister came over and babysat Mckinley so I could go do some work at Brandon's office. Then I went over to my parents' house in the afternoon to see them some more. I can't remember what we did Thursday night. Maybe just relaxed at home?
.
Friday. We went to lunch at Olive Garden so my mom could see her two sisters again. Here are the three of them.

Amy, Kristen, and my cousin Sarah at lunch.

Mckinley and me.

Mckinley was loving sucking on a piece of a lemon.
.
Friday night Brandon had a basketball game and then he went and helped his brother clean his house while I chilled at home by myself. :(
.
Saturday was a big day. My niece Holly got baptized so we went to that and then had food at my brother's house after and stayed there for a while just sitting around and talking. We loved it. I didn't take any pictures, but this is Holly.

.
Then we brought a very tired baby over to Brandon's mom's house so she could watch her while we went to the temple with my whole family. My little sister Amy (who is going to Hong Kong on her mission at the end of next month if you don't remember) went through the temple for the first time. We ate at the temple cafeteria after and the food was actually really good. Amy is going to be such an amazing missionary!!
.
Today is Sunday and in a couple of hours we are going over to Brandon's brothers to eat some good food. Some of them are going to watch some football and others of us are going to watch the funny commercials.
.
Mckinley's 9 month appointment is tomorrow. This will be the first time she doesn't have to get shots. Woohoo!
.
Anyway, that was our week in a nutshell. I'm sure this next one will have lots of exciting things in it too.

These pictures of my family made me miss them. Wish I could have been there.
I remember my first time in the temple and being soooo nervous!

Welcome home Susan and Lowell!
