Our Fun Family Weekend

This weekend we were able to have my family come spend the weekend with us. Friday night we got to watch my niece Reese while her parents went to the Tim McGraw/Lady A concert. She loved Jesi and followed her around everywhere copying everything Jes did. They went for a walk around the yard and colored my front porch with sidewalk chalk. The artwork is really interesting. Jesi would color and then Reese would come up behind her and draw a line right beside what Jesi drew. It was so cute.


Reese thought it would be funny to put the chalk under her chin and try to make it stay. She would put it there and then when it would roll out she would laugh and try it again. She definitely had all of us laughing.


Saturday everyone came over to our house for dinner before Drew, Teresa, Tanner, Tyler, Dave, & Chelle went to the Real SL Soccer Game. The kids were trying to get Reese to do funny things. Here is their progress.
Reese loves Tanner and will copy almost anything he does. Here they are being goofballs.

Then on Sunday we blessed Sami. We had most of my family and some of Kelly's family with us. We are so blessed to have family close enough that we can all support each other.

Sami did so good. She was quiet through the whole blessing. Kelly gave her a really neat blessing. He was really nervous, but did a great job.

This is the same dress all 4 girls wore for their blessings.


After we got back home, I had Drew take some pictures of our family since we don't have any with Sami in them. I think they turned our pretty good.



Later after everyone headed home, I went outside to get the girls. When I came back in, this is what I found. Sami was so exhausted after a busy day, she fell asleep sitting in her dad's lap.




Teresa's friend Angie makes bows for girls hair. Teresa brought them over this weekend and I just had to have a "few". Didn't she do a great job? Thanks Angie.


So after a really busy weekend, I still am glad everyone got to come and hang out.

I can't BELIEVE how big Reese has gotten! What a Princess.

Sami, of course, looks beautiful in her blessing gown!

Miss you like crazy!
