Feeling the Love

Little miss Alexis must be feeling pretty special, with all of the visitors that have come to see her! My grandma, nana and daddy Juan drove all the way from California just to see her. They have been close family friends, since before I was born. They also babysat me for quite a long time. They are like family to us, and treat my kids as if they were their own grandkids. My grandma brought gifts for all three of our kids, and that really made Carson and Kylie extra happy. We had a great visit with them, and as always, the time went by too fast!My nana is hilarious, and we all were able to have a girl's night out to our monthly bunco party (grandma beat us all!). Here are some pictures of their visit.......... ............................................................

Here is Carson and Kylie, holding Lexi. Lexi was all dressed up for her first picture day!

The twins and daddy Juan playing with their frog game. I think he enjoyed the game just as much a they did!

After they left, we drove to Utah to visit with some more good friends. Melanie and I have been friends since kindergarten. We felt old, when we were counting how many years that we have known eachother! She is such a wonderful friend, and she has had a rough month! It felt so great to see her with a big smile, and her spirits up. I have always loved spending time with her family. They are all soooo funny! You can't be around them and be in a bad mood, it is just not possible! I love her so much, and really wish we could see eachother more often. It was so fun to watch our kids play together. I bet we never thought that would happen, back in our kindergarten days!he.he. Love you Mel!!!!!!
Kyle's friend Mike was also in town that weekend. He lived in New Mexico, and he and Kyle served their missions together in California. His wife had called us last week and told us that she was having him a surprise party in Utah at Cabella's, and thought she would let us know. She knew we probably wouldn't make it, since we just had a baby. Kyle and I thought it would be great to surprise him at his party. He has been a great friend to Kyle, and has done a lot for him. We thought it would be a great way to show we care. It was a great time, and we even talked Melanie's parents into crashing the party with us! They also knew Mike, while he was on his mission..............I think Roger (her dad) was the ward mission leader.
