Fun Filled Weekend!!
This last weekend my sister Annette came into town from Texas to move her Daughter Jessica up to BYU for college. So of course we all had to get together and have a party. Like always we had a ton of fun. there probably wasn't a single college student that had that many people help them move into their dorm. We are all just so excited to have Jess closer.
We celebrated Annette's 39th birthday while she was here. Now she does not look 39. We had at least two people while they were here ask us if Annette and Jess were sisters. How come I don't have the look young gene?
Crazy fact: I am closer in age to Jess than I am to her mom. We are all great friends!!!
Matt and Aunt Julie, he really took a liking to Julie who read a lot of books to him
Jessica had a PJ party with the little girls. She and Annette french braided all their hair and then they played gold fish.
The second PJ party of the weekend, the girls loved sleeping by Makayla
The weekend would not be complete without at least one shopping trip. Although we managed to fit in a few. (Down East, Tia Pan, Target) I thought these heals were so cute at Down East, but they were not even close to my size. They did fit my sisters though, but they just felt weird in them and could barely walk in them. I still think they should have bought them.
Kaitlyn, Makayla and Melanie squeezing into the back of my van to go over to see Jessica's dorm
Can you believe she had this many people moving her in? She is a good sport. This isn't even everyone. Alan and his family came before all of us and grandpa is taking the picture.
The girls like Jessica's room the best!
Kaitlyn, Makayla, Melanie
Jessica kept us up till 2 am one morning, we laughed a ton and enjoyed some fun dip! (I know this is a horible picture of me, but it was the only one I could find and I had to document the moment!)

A Park in the City!
While visiting Brad's parents, they took us to this awesome park that made you feel like you weren't even in the city. We took a picnic from McDonald's and had a lot of fun.
Matthew loved the duck that we saw and fed french fries to

Swimming Lessons!
The girls took swimming lessons at Sports Academy this year and loved every second of it. Matthew was a good sport and loved staying to swim after the lessons everyday of the second week. We definitely got our moneys worth with how much we stayed and swam afterwords.

Last but not least the pinata. We started youngest to oldest and everyone ended up getting one turn before Matthew broke it open with his second turn. (with a little help from me by accident, I guess I don't know my own strength.
