We have been very busy this summer. Lot's of company & lots of fun! It all started with Sierra, Tennyson & Asher coming to stay with us for 2 weeks in June. We swam, played at water parks, made play dough & spent a lot of time playing in the backyard. There were many hugs & even more fights:). After the first week the novelty had worn off for the kids and they were fighting like siblings. Sierra & I didn't have any fights, just lots of fun. We watched lots of chick flicks & probably did some other stuff I can't remember right now.
Some notable events from their visit were Sierra's pink eye (luckily no one else got it), Bennett's bronchitis and breathing treatments and I was sick their last few days! We can't wait for them to move back to CA soon so we can have them up more often.
Oh, almost forgot, Mom & Dad Parke treated us to a buffet for my birthday dinner, that's right I turned 30. As you can see Tennyson loved his chocolate ice cream & chocolate cake!

3 days after they flew out Hannah & Bethan flew in from North Carolina. I picked them up at the airport & we went to Town Square for some shopping at H&M. After a 45 minute debate, we decided on In & out for dinner then the girls & I rented a movie.
The next afternoon, Brett & Gaby came into town with Adrianna, Sarah, Emmy & Elise. That bumped up the # of teenage girls in the house to 6. The kids swam, we had taco's for dinner then watched a movie. I took the girls on a candy run & Sarah came home with a container of frosting which she and her cousins ate with spoons. Gross!!!
On Monday morning the Parke's left with Aunt Kelsy & their 2 friends and in the afternoon Brett, Gaby & the 6 girls came back on their way home from Utah. We had a big BBQ with Shaleen & her family too. There was swimming, lots of food & a full house at bedtime. I think this was our fullest night with 21 of us in the house.
Tuesday morning 6 kids headed home with Brett & Gaby. We sent Kaylee's 2 boys & kept Hannah & Elise to help with the little kids.
Hannah & Elise were great help. We treated them to manicures & pedicures, jamba juice & another viewing of Eclipse to thank them for their help. They watched the kids while we did some house hunting for Kaylee.
Gavin & Cheryl flew up to Idaho on Friday evening. On Sunday Uncle Giles was finally able to fly in after a week of waiting for & recovering from Kidney stone surgery. The kids were very excited to see him & attacked him in the pool. The following Tuesday we sent off Kake & Giles & the last of their kids to California. And so ended our whirlwind of company.
It was a great run while it lasted!

Ja, so many people!!!!! I am glad that you have so many people surrounding you in NV!
I can't believe you guys had 21 people in your house one night!!!! Crazy! We had a great time. I meant to tell you, as soon as the plane took off from Vegas, Tennyson said in a sad voice, "I miss Jilly and Carter. I want to go back." Made me sad, but I assured him he'd get to see them again soon...as long as they don't fight so much at the end!
