Playing Michael Jackson with Lily
Bruce, Lily, Juliette and Liam came to visit for a week. It was fun being able to see Liam in the flesh, and getting to know Juliette a little bit better.
We got together at Mom's for Memorial Day and ended up turning the family room into a dance floor. After that I told Bruce and Lily that we HAD to do Michael together...
Bruce took Dan, Amy, Mel and I to Brick Oven for dinner, (Yum!) I made myself an amazing salad! After Brick oven we came back to our house for some Michael, as I suspected, Lily LOVED it! Since returning home she has spent $500 on a
Wii and
Wii accessories. :)
The next day Julie came down and drove up to
Sundance with me to spend some time with Bruce and Lily at their cabin. I brought
Ryker with me because he and Juliette get a long really well. They had fun playing on the big tree swing. Later that night we went back to Mom's for round 2 of the
Wii this time we broke out Just Dance 2 in addition to Michael. I haven't been a huge fan of it, but changed my mind while playing with my family.
Julie and I snuck out for a little bit and went to a
luau up in Alpine. It was amazing, hoards of food, entertainment, tons of people. It was fun and yummy. I couldn't eat very much though because my Mom was at home making
Lomo saltado and that is my
FAV!

Ryker is the best batter on his team. He cracks it way into the outfield every time.

At Grandpa's for dinner. Teekie is wearing the shirt we made for Rick for Father's Day. Each of the kids wrote Their favorite things dad says or does, favorite thing to do with Dad, favorite place to go with Dad, favorite feature, favorite attribute, etc. They also wrote him a special message on the front. The Shirt says, "Handsome Like Dad". We gave it to him along with his Father's Day video.

Lyman taught himself to play the guitar while he was in Iraq. He brought it to Mom's and he played while we sang.
The Dad's
I probably didn't need a close up, but here it is...GROSS!
Pull-up and Izzy Busy Bear.
Slymie was the first one off the plane. We stayed in the back of the hanger till the last minute and then we pushed our way to the front. I had the perfect spot on the front row to capture him.
Lyman high fiving the TAG.
The long awaited reunion...Mel is so cute. She did so good on her own.

More waiting...at least it's in a toy room this time.
The long hallway...bye baby.

The procedure was so fast and easy. We were only in the waiting room for 10 minutes before they came and got us.
Ahhh, finally, my chocolate milk. Poor baby wanted a bottle before we left, but we couldn't give him one.
Brookie with her certificate and medal, she was so proud of them.
Her performance was really cute, they did a medley of Justin Beiber songs. She did a really good job, I was really proud of her.
Jadey fell in love with Brooke's hat. She wore it until Brooke had to perform and then Brooke let her have it after the show.
Teekie was so stinking cute, he was just shoveling his dinner in his mouth, like he was a scared private in a mess hall.
