A Visit From Family

It's always fun when family comes to town. This last weekend my parents were here as well as my sister Debbie, her husband Ryan, and their little boy, Blake. It was his first time traveling and he did really well here. The kids had a great time playing with each other and we were entertained by watching them.

We made it out to Sea World.

Here are Brayden and Kaleb watching the dolphins

Here we are watching Shamu.

And Sesame Street was in town.

I went up front with Brayden so she could get a closer look and dance with all the other little kids.

Kaleb with his cousin Blake.

They're seven months apart but you could hardly tell by they're size.

Brayden enjoyed going to the hotel every morning.

We made a fun pumpkin spice cake. Well, my mom made it, but we had fun decorating it.

Brayden enjoyed eating most of the decorations. We were worried we weren't going to have enough to finish it.

Here's the final product. We enjoyed eating it as an FHE treat last Monday.

For the recipe and directions on how to make it check it out here, with some of our own variations (check comments for an explanation by my mom).

It's always such a treat to have my parents come. Brayden adores her grandparents and still thinks they're in every plane she sees that flies over us.

She's very excited to be able to be the one to get into an airplane to go see her other grandparents at Christmas time.

And this is what Kaleb's been up to.

I'm one busy mama now.
