Our Busy Busy weekend (repost with pictures)

This weekend turned out to be a REALLY busy one for us. Jared's brother Jonathon (who is home from Iraq) was sealed to his wife and kids this weekend. So because of it Jared's family all came down. And of course if they are coming down they want to stop by and see their favorite family members.

So Thursday afternoon we had Jared's parents stop by for a little while on their way through. Kaylee stayed with us and played with Xander, we took her down to St. George with us on Friday. Here she is playing with Xander.

Thursday night late, Angela and Ryan came. They stayed with us Thursday night and left Friday morning for St. George. Here is Xander and Brandon playing game cube together. Of course my camera for some reason didn't auto focus, so it is blurry.

Then after Jared got off work on Friday we went down. Here is a picture of Xander in the car.

We got the St. George late Friday night, and met everyone as they were coming out of the endowment session. Then we all went to Applebee's for desert.Friday night we split a hotel with Ang and Ryan. We found a place called "Coronada Inn and Suites". It had two rooms with a living room and a kitchen. We thought it would be really nice and we would split the cost. It turned out to be really gross and not very nice. We got there and the fire alarm was beeping, our phone didn't work, and there was a wooden bed frame in one of the rooms. Oh, well. Such is the life a cheap hotel.

On Saturday we got up and went to Jared's grandpa's and hung out until the sealing. Emily and her kids were there, as well as Ang and Ryan's kids. Here are some pictures of Jaden, Brandon and Xander playing.

Emily babysat while we went to the sealing. It was beautiful. After the sealing we went to the open house, and then home. Unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures of Jon and Ashley until later. So no pictures.

Ang and Ryan and us drove back home (to Salt Lake) Saturday night. They left Sunday morning and we went to church. After church Colby and Denise O'Very came over and we all played. Here are pictures of Xander and Kelsey playing on the sofa.

Then late Sunday night, Jareds family stopped by on their way through and stayed until 1:30 today. Here are some pictures of them on their way out.

It was a very fun, very busy weekend. Thank you to all who came to our home.
