Our friends from Fallon

Our friends from Fallon, NV came to visit us in April.  We had such an awesome time with them.  All of our kids get along pretty well which is really nice.  They visited us in September and her older 2 girls and my boys have been pen pals since then.  So, they were really excited to see each other after all of the letters.  They joined us at the pool twice while the boys had swim lessons.  They came to the boys soccer game as well.  Thankfully, the playground at the soccer game is fun and there is also a splash park.  So, Saturday was a fun day in the sun.  We went to the Threat Facility on base and all the kids had a blast running around and climbing on the tanks, helicopters, airplanes, and trucks.  We also went to the Bounce House and had a fun day.  We enjoyed having them at church with us and her 2 older girls went to Awanas with the boys. 

We are very thankful that they could come and visit us and have such a lovely visit.  It was nice to chat and catch up a little amongst children playing all over the house. :  ) 

Here are some pics!!!

A little camping

Kevin took the boys on a pseudo camping trip for the day.  He took them hiking at Red Rock Canyon which is about a 30 minute drive from our house then they came home and "camped" in our backyard.  They had hotdogs and s'mores...Abs and I also enjoyed the s'mores.  I will admit that they did not actually sleep in the tent the whole night...they started out in the tent and Caleb as the good sleeper he is passed out quickly...but TJ was coughing and of course Kevin is just not a great sleeper. So, he transferred everyone in our house later in the night.  :  ) 

This weekend they are going camping for one night.  Hopefully, the sleeping portion of that will go better. The boys are super excited about their adventure.  TJ has been asking almost every day.
