Jason's parents came to visit last week and we had a blast! We were soooooo excited when they were here and soooooo sad after they left :( We crammed a lot into 6 days like: touring the base, walking on the beach, going to church, going to Jason's Company's Family Day, playing the Wii, eating HUGE gourmet dinners that I cooked every night except 2 :) I also dragged Jeni around taking kids to and from school, eating lunch at school for St. Patrick's Day, going to the book fair, going to a Scentsy candle party (and spending too much $$$). The 3 of us girls also had a "girl's day" out shopping and having lunch at Red Robin. We also went to the Officer's Club for lunch, Ava's first baseball practice and out to dinner in Swansboro for YUMMY seafood! On their last day, Jason and his parents went golfing on base (18 holes!) It was a gorgeous day! Afterwards, Grandma and the kids planted pumpkin and zucchini seeds. We LOVED having them here and are so thankful they got to visit.........even though we all gained 10+ lbs! lol
Quotes of the week: "So that's how you are", "Woobie Woobster", "Get ready for the pain train! TOOT TOOT!"

So fun to have family visit, isn't it? Especially when you're so far away. Sounds like you partied hard, like you usually do!

I can't believe how fast your kids are growing! The father/daughter dance sounds wonderful. Yay for your cheer coaching! I am excited about getting Alexandria into tumbling this summer.

Jenny looks younger for some reason-maybe hair is different??? so your inlaws must be pretty special if you had such a packed schedule...what??? no sleeping in during treadmill time?? seriously...sounds like a fun week...thanks for having time for me while i was in Denver!
