The day after Christmas, my brother Mike, and his kids Megan & Connor came down from St. Louis for a visit. Tracy had a big design project to work on, so unfortunately wasn't able to join them. I missed her!
We hadn't seen them since May, so Mike's idea of initiating my kids was a wild wrestling match the first night they arrived----the kids loved it, by the way!
It wasn't long before they were all tackling him to the ground and bombarding him with pillows!
Owen's like a monkey---he could hang here effortlessly for hours!
Throwing Peyton onto a pile of pillows. (BTW, I know the new TV looks silly with that entertainment center. We've got a new console on order---I promise!)
Taking a break with Megan and Connor.
Slumber party that night!
The next morning it about to rain so we headed to the gymnastics room in Brian's building at ASU. In this pic, Dawson was following big brother around, trying to do whatever Owen did!
Mike "coaching" his kids on the balance beams.
Dawson discovered this game all on his own!
Kellen being hoisted up in the harness---she loves swinging up there!
We built a fort with the gym mats and here's Mike emerging from the lair.
"FUNdue" that night for dessert!
And saying good-bye Sunday morning before they had to leave! The kids (and us) were so sad. Thanks for visiting us, you guys!!!
