Geez...how long has it been??

August was a very busy month! (I'm using that as my excuse for being so bad about blogging lately!) First, my dad and grandpa visited us from Minnesota for a week. Jack and Joey had so much fun with them! It had been about a year since we'd seen them, but you never would've known it by the way the kids played with them! My grandpa is 93 and was a trooper in making the trip out to see us. We so appreciate him coming! We miss them so much already and can't wait to see them again.

Next, Joey had a Dora birthday party! (Another great cake made by my friend, Dani...Thank you!!) We got a bouncy house this year - amidst Kevin's persistent protests that it was too expensive (which it is) - but guess who was the first one in and the last one out???
Then, Alli and Mason came out for 2 weeks while Blade was on a training assignment. We were all soooo happy to have them here! Jack and Joey loved on Mason like you wouldn't believe. I was constantly surprised at how gentle and helpful they were with him. (Gives me hope for a third baby!) We were all heartbroken when they had to leave and Jack has said that he misses Alli everyday since they've been gone:( We can't wait to see them again.



And lately we've just been enjoying our family time. Can't ever have enough of that!

Love the post! The pics were all really cute too! The one of Dad and Joey is super cute...and so cool that you got her blowing the bubble! Oh and I love the bathtub one too...too bad Joey didn't have as much fun as the boys did! We miss you guys so much. I feel like Mason is getting so bored with me now that we don't have anyone to play with during the days!! LOVE YA!

Wow you guys have been busy with lots of visitors. So fun. I love all the pictures, especially the one of all three in the tub. That's fun they were so cute with mason. The cake is so awesome. I love those jumpy things too. Maybe one of these years our kids will be good enough to get one! HAha!
