last week kevin's parents made a quick stop in idaho falls during their trip out west. they live in moline, il and had and had planned the trip so they could help move their daughter, laura, back out to utah. they packed most of her belongings in a uhaul and headed to colorado for the remainder (that is where laura has been living for the past several months). then it was off to utah to help her move into a cute little house with her sister, rosanne.
they arrived at our house on wednesday afternoon. to say that they were exhausted would be an understatement. it had been nearly one year since we had seen them and owen was so excited. wesley took some coaxing but eventually warmed up.
that afternoon we made a drive to rexburg to see kyle and staci. they baked us pizza and we had a nice time visiting them. we got back to the house around 7:30 just in time for kevin to be back from work. it was fun to spend the rest of the evening chatting and relaxing.
kevin took most of thursday off so he was able to wake up and make us a yummy breakfast. then we took his parents to the titatanic exhibition. it's hard to really enjoy when you have two little kids, but i think we pulled it off alright. that afternoon kevin and his dad installed kevin's old punch bag that they had brought with them from illinois. they boys had fun showing off on that all day. i will post a video later.
thursday night kevin bbq'd chicken and we enjoyed a nice dinner with his parents and staci & kyle, ending the night with the movie bedtime stories.

friday morning we said good-bye. wesley was much to sad to see them go and refused to cooperate for a photo shoot.

That's crazy that it has been a year since you've seen them! So glad you got to spend time together last week. That last picture of Owen is too cute.
It's amazing how fast time flies. It's always fun to see family and spend time with them, especially when they live so far away. Glad you had a good time with them!!
Such cute pictures!! I'm sure Mom and Dad would have liked to stay longer...they always say next time they will but they always are on a time crunch!! My dad can never slow down. Glad you guys had such a fun time together. I was looking at the calendar and thinking maybe Memorial Day weekend we will come up...I still need to talk to Laura. I'll let you know!
Oh, what a nice little visit. Won't it be nice when they're closer and Wesley won't have to "warm up" to them. Grandparents are so much fun!
My kids always love it when their grandparents come to stay. It looks like you had a great time.
Nice to see you had a good time. I wondered where they were last week. And does Kevin do a lot of cooking? Breakfast, bbq...sounds nice!!
