Conference weekend Kathryn and her four kiddos came and visited with Debbie and Ashley. I LOVED having them here. I cleaned my house all day Saturday while listening to conference before they arrived. I really enjoyed Elder Holland and Elder Packer. When they arrived Kathryn wanted to put on the "bee suit" and see the bees. Daryl took her and we all followed in the suburban and watched from the inside. The kids were making the funniest comments about the bees in the car. Here is a picture of Kathryn in all her glory...
that night Daryl took Madi and Luke on a country drive in his old truck behind the house. He Made Madi drive home or I should say "steer" home by herself. Anytime she would ask for help Daryl told her she had to do it by herself. Madi is 8 years old. Ashley has a video of her driving and all you hear is a lot of screams and giggles in the car along with 'HELP! I don't know how to drive!" Crazy Uncle Daryl. We then ate A LOT, played games, and talked until almost 2 in the morning. I made Godfathers desert pizza for the adults and sticky popcorn for all the kiddos...
On their drive Daryl found an exercise bike for the whole family to enjoy ;)
I need to add what Evelyn and Cambrie had been up to while all this was going on. First they started "their" night by playing dress up, then they decided to play in the mud puddles outside!
They then were kindly escorted to the tub.
After their bath they joined Ashley in her workout before bedtime. They slept well!
The next morning we watched conference and ate some more.;) Daryl's Dad came up so he could help Daryl work on the truck. I played an April fools joke on the kids by putting jello in their glasses for lunch with a straw stuck in it. The kids just thought I wanted them to drink the jello and didn't think it was THAT great of a fools SO feeling a little defeated I went out side to try and get Daryl and his Dad. When Daryl's Dad stood up from under the car to get his drink I pretended to lose my balance and spill the drink on him. He had the reaction we all were hoping for and we all got a fun laugh! I made the girls cloud dough to play with, It is flour with baby oil that makes it moldable.
