Our summer visitors....

I just had to document the visitors we had this spring/summer. Kurt's sister, Katrina, came out for about a week and we had such a great time. She has three kids and it was so nice b/c all the kids played so well together. We cooked some great food, did a party for her ( www.littlemissprissgirls@etsy.com ), hung out by the pool, went to Chuck E. Cheese and a trip to the temple. She's great to have around and I truly love her and love chatting with her. We wish she could have stayed longer, but maybe she'll be back to visit again sometime!










Right after she left we headed to our friends house in Knoxville (Richmans) and had a great weekend! We went to a parade, a baseball game with fireworks and then had a great BBQ at their house with some of their good friends. We felt a little out numbered with all Oral Surgeons around us :) I always love being with my friend Anna. Our kids play great together, everything is way casual and laid back and always so comfortable. I don't get to see her and the family as often as I would like, but we're both so busy now!

















After that, my mom made an unexpected and sudden trip..the girls had a great time with her and even sent Kurt and I out while she had a slumber party with the girls. My dad also called while she was out and told all of us to have grandma buy them each one thing, whatever they wanted, from him...he had had a good day at work that day :) The girls each chose a build a bear, my mom took me a got a few new clothes and Kurt got an I-phone (which he LOVES). She had just been out in May for my birthday and we had a blast with her then...jump zone, soccer, pedicures, lunch at school with Annie and lots of other fun. I LOVE when my mom comes to visit...she is so good with the girls and just takes such good care of us. I can't quite explain how happy it makes me. We always have so much to talk about...my only with sometimes is that I didn't have to share her with the rest of my family :)











Shortly after the quick trip from my mom my sister Rebecca and her husband Steve came out to visit. It was such a quick trip, but we did so much and had a blast. The night they got in we went straight to the Grand Ole Opry to see Carrie Underwood, Clay Walker and others. She was great and it was such a fun night. We also made it to Mammoth Caves, which was very cool...the girls did great walking for most of the time. Kurt made bleaching trays for them. Steve was a little nervous of the impressions, since he tends to gag, but did a great job :) The girls loved being in their dad's office and pretending to work with him. One of my friends watched the girls while we went and played tennis...Kurt and I got whooped up on :) We won a little but it was definitely not that close! We also made it for a VERY quick trip to the Pancake Pantry on our way out of town. R & S were so good to take the girls bowling while I had an appt. They were just so good with the kids and so easy to have around. It was so great to see them....I don't get to see my siblings often enough!!! That will hopefully be changing very soon.
