Family visiting...

Yes, yes, I know I didn't post yesterday, but I have a great excuse: Tyler's sister, Tisha, & her husband, Vernon, and their 4 kids came to visit us for 4 days! HOORAY! Anna has been telling everyone how her uncle & aunt were coming to visit. They arrived yesterday around 4:30pm. Previous to that time we were cleaning like MAD to get the house ready. Tyler did have a project that was due today that he was supposed to be working on-but the professor sent out an email that said the project due date was pushed back a week. I was so grateful--my husband could now assist me in the mad rush to CLEAN! We had a great time catching up with them and the kids had a great time. The kids swam and we played some badminton (we don't have a net but we do have some power cords that work...) and just enjoyed the time.


Today we all went to the YMCA. Anna had swimming lessons and Tisha swam laps with me during the lesson. Then we all swam afterwards. Afterwards we came home
for lunch then went to the AIR FORCE MUSEUM. We spent 2 hours there and then went to the golden corral. It was a different experience for me since I am on the SBD. And you should be so proud: I resisted all those golden favorites such as mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese and banana pudding (you know, the one with vanilla wafers & whip cream..YUM). I CONQUERED THE CORRAL! And I'm here to tell the tale.

After dinner, Tisha & I went to play volleyball at the church with the RS. It was SO fun! We had a great time. In fact, there were 15 ladies that showed up! And my sil, Tisha, is AWESOME! She is so good at it. I didn't find out that she used to play volleyball in high school until after we left. She's quite athletic. She's just wonderful, I couldn't have asked for a better sister-in-law (sil). Now on to the pictures:

Movie time--because I needed some downtime.

3 lovely ladies! Macie, Anna, & Maddie. This is our first time to meet Macie, she was born after we left OK. Isn't she precious? Well, aren't they all gorgeous?!?!?
