One Short Week

We just got home from a very short seeming week in Illinois. We went back for my sister Laura and new B-I-L Joe's wedding. The wedding was beautiful and went very well. Laura looked amazing!!!! Congrats to them. Also congrats to Dad and Bonnie for marrying off the last of the girls. You can now close your check books with relief.

While we were in Illinois we stayed at DeAnna and Andy's house. We had some much fun spending the week with them. MaKayla is getting so big! Even more interesting than that is the fact that she has 6 teeth now. Logan has ZERO. We had fun watching the two of them play together. MaKayla is on the move now which is adorable. We took the kids to Magic Waters and they had a lot of fun.

My mom, grandma, twin brothers, Ed, and Nisa came up for a cook out. It was nice that Logan finally got to meet all of them. Mark was covered in poison ivy so he did not get to touch the babies.

We went to Grandpa Johnson and Elaine's house while we were back. We had a very nice visit. Grandpa cooked my favorite dish, Mac n' cheese. Grandpa is staying busy in the yard while Elaine works her new job.

We visited a few of my good friends while we were back. We saw the Hoyle family. Shannon is quite pregnant and Joseph is giving her a hard time with his terrible two's. Mat Shuck and his family are doing well. Mason didn't like me at first but he warmed up to me by the end of the visit.

We made a couple of trips to Madison, WI also. Erick, a friend of mine lives there and he did us a favor of showing us around the city. Stephen had an appointment with an advisor to look at the School of Pharmacy. He really likes the school and plans to apply. It is a bit hard to get in as an out of state applicant though. We wish we could just pick up and move back now to establish residency. Maybe soon, we will see.

We finally made it to see Jen and Ben's new home. It is beautiful and I am very jealous. Caden and Zack were instant best friends. Caden come up to stay with us at DeAnna and Andy's house one night. They were adorable.

Well that is our trip in a nut shell. We had a lot of fun and wish we didn't have to leave. The desert is a pit and we want to move ssooooo bad!!! Maybe someday.
