Visitors Again... Yay!!

We love having visitors come.  My sister Jess and her family were able to come visit over our Spring Break.  We had so much fun with them.  Unfortunately I didn't take a lot of pictures, but I did take some, and Jess took some and between the two I have quite a few pictures to post.

Ben took this picture of our movie night.  Apparently our kids wore us out and we didn't make it to the end of the movie.
While they were here we went to a concert for the Piano Guys.  We took our kids and we got a baby sitter for Kylie because it was kind of a late concert.  It has been a while since I've had to look for a baby sitter and I am once again grateful that I don't need to do that on a regular basis.  We were able to have a Brazilian BBQ with Becca and Nick.  We also went bowling and all the kids beat all of the adults.  I will add that the kids did have the bumpers up, but still it was a pretty poorly bowled, but really fun game on the adults part.

One of the days they were here we were able to go to the Mesa temple.  I always love going to the temple, and it was particularly nice to go with Jess and Spencer.  It's always great to have family there.

The gardener in the back bombed our picture.  It was really funny.
 Jess also took our family pictures again.  The reason for doing them again was pure vanity.  Ben and I had a not very healthy year last year and we were trying to do better this year.  We have both lost quite a bit of weight since January so Jess was kind enough to retake our pictures.

 The morning Jess and Spencer left, my kids treated them to a live, outdoor concert.  It was a lot of fun.

Bonnie discovered that heels are not as comfortable as they are cute.

I just loved this shot with the holes in the knees and the very large sandals
