Short Weekend With Fam

So my younger sister Becca graduated from BYU on Thursday and Friday and so of course my parents wanted to come and see her graduate. What a great feeling to be done with school. We are so proud of her. I knew it was going to be a short weekend with them, but we made the most of it. My brother Mike came up too with his girlfriend Angie.

We all got to see each other for an hour or so on Thursday night. While Becca was picking Mike and Angie up from the airport, we let out kids swim at grandma and grandpa's hotel. Not an impressive pool, but the kids thought so. Then later that night, Cade got to open a few belated birthday presents and then we said our good-byes till morning because we could tell Grandpa Allan was getting tired and they all had to get up early. Matt and me and the kids spent the night at Brit and Tophs house, Matt's brothers and we were just going to meet my family sometime in the morning, after graduation. I was not going to try and take my kids to a 2 hour graduation. They barely make it thru one hour of church.

So Friday morning we met them after the graduation at Magelbys breakfast place. It was so good...a little crazy crowded, but so good! Then afterwards, because it was raining in Provo and there was not much to do because of the weather, we decided to head back to Logan earlier than we thought. That night we ate at Pounders, Matt's favorite place, then we watched Becca's project documentary that she had been working on all semester, in the theatre room. Then we went in the hot tub with everyone in the backyard and after I put my kids to bed, we attempted to watch Avatar on the big screen in the theatre room. Only a few made it thru the whole movie. Becca also brought up her date JR to hang out with the family. Hopefully we didn't scare him off or scare off Mike's girlfriend Angie.

The weather was not great Friday, but Saturday turned out nice. I could not believe that we got everybody up for Cade's soccer game at 9AM and Corey's at 10 AM. I really did not think that everyone was going to get up for it. I made a quick breakfast and we were out the door. Grandpa Allan even came over for the excitement. The games were fun. We all sat around and joked about how much Cade reminds us of Mike when he use to play soccer as a kid. And Corey was so determined to score that $10 goal that daddy keeps promising her. NOT THIS GAME, but maybe next game! Later that day, we just all hung out at the house, ate lunch, visited with Aunt Marsha, and vegged. Then to end the night, we ended up over in Wellsville, saying good-bye to gramps and just hanging out. The kids played at the park and rode bikes and Mike took Angie on a 4-wheeler ride and we just hung out. Then we all had to say our good-byes. I HATE GOOD-BYES. It was a short weekend, but at least it went by slow, so it felt like it lasted longer. So proud of Becs graduating! We sure missed Steph and Em though. Love you!
