Visitors...part one. :)

I suddenly feel like I have so much to blog about. 
After about 556 lectures from a certain sister that I NEED to blog more often, I have decided I really do need to. Just kidding. She only lectured me a few times. :) 
I guess I felt like I had nothing to "offer". Life seems to be settling down out here. Which is good, but as far as blogging goes, it makes me look around and say..."Now what else could I possibly blog about?" :) That's where this sister jumped in and gave me ideas...like, the whole time she was visiting me (Again!).  Pictures of that later! 

So back to what I was saying about suddenly feeling like I have so much to blog about! We'll see if I actually do. :) 

So we had visitors again! Both were family! So so fun. 
Also I think our visitors like to travel out in herds or clumps or something. :) No big deal, we are so thankful for any visitors, it's just funny! :) 

Dustin's brother, Joel & his wife, Sheila, and their two girls, Georgi and Talya, came a Thursday to the following Tuesday.  

Not only was it good to have family around, it was just so good to connect with their family. Actually their purpose for coming out here was kinda two-fold. Joel bought a project plane in Chino, CA, which is about an hour from us.  The guy who was hauling it from CA to MS needed help loading it up, so that was one of the reasons Joel's came out here.  That's what kept the guys occupied Saturday and Monday, I think! 

Here we are at the zoo (You can even see Dustin taking the picture in the seal tank glass!)! 


Um, Hello, awesome pinky flamingos!  


It's KEVIN! From the movie, "Up"! 


Georgi & Talya drinking....maybe chocolate milk? Cuties :)  


 Even though she looks a liiiittle distressed in this picture, I think Talya has such pretty eyes. Ps. I forget what happened to her forehead. Sheila, do you remember?? :) 


Look who's sleeping!  


Look who's noooot! :) Tricky, Georgi, very tricky. 


For some reason, I just love this swinging at the park picture. 


And this is also a beaute!  



Fun kids' park! 


And then the very Tuesday that Joel's left, my sister, Kaylie came! Two days later, we picked up my parents at the airport. Believe me, I could drive to the airport backwards by now. JK. Not quite at that point yet. :) 





Something sweet to end on. :) Once upon a time, I asked Dustin if he could please pick up a few things at the grocery store on his way home from work. Sure, he said! And he came home with this fun bonus! ......And then yes, we actually, in real life, ate it like this. I felt so naughty. :)
