Visitors from Colorado!

 Tricia and Lundgren came to visit us Thursday and Friday of last week.  We went to Jeff and Jamie's house on Friday afternoon to swim.  Austin and Colton did a lot of jumping in the pool.  The above picture is a shot of Lundgren teaching Austin the proper 'cannon ball' form!  So cute!  This was about the 12th attempt at getting a picture of this.  Lundgren was a great teacher as you can see from the picture!!  After swimming Tricia came home with me to get the boys dinner and get them ready for bed.  They loved having her there so they could show her all of their toys and, of course, Austin gave her the full tour of the entire house. 

 After dinner Sarah and Zoey came over to hang out with the boys for a few hours so Brian and I could have a night out with our visiting friends.  Austin loved getting to play with Zoey.  She brought her sleeping bag along so the kids laid on the floor and watched the Olympics and ate popcorn.  They had a great night!  Saturday we stayed inside because it was cold and rainy . . . we played with Play-Doh, made cookies, watched The Smurfs, and got all caught up on the laundry.  Laundry takes awhile to get caught up on when you have two little helpers that want to do everything you are doing.  They were very cute and very helpful the entire weekend. 

Here is a picture of Colton at snack time.  I told the boys to go over to the table and Colton went and got on a big chair instead of his booster chair.  He is just trying so hard to grow up too fast! 

Sunday afternoon Austin and I went to Target and he got to pick out all of his school supplies.  After we had everything paid for I told him he was ready for school.  He said, "Will you please drop me off at preschool after dinner Mommy?"  I said, "Not today Austin."  He said, "But mommy, you told me I was ready for preschool now so I want to go there today."  Well, he had me there!  I had to tell him the school will not be open until August 14th for orientation.  So, we are now waiting patiently for August 14th to get here.  His actual first day will be August 16th.
