Well Hi there

Well things have been go go go here but what else is new. Last weekend was great. Arnold and Marti Stringham flew in Jan 23rd for the weekend. It was great to see them. On Saturday we hung out at the Apt for a bit then Marti Hope and I heading out to the mall for some girl time. We went to Build a Bear and Hope got the new iCarly bear. Which is so very cute. then we wondered for a bit and just talked which was great! While we were there Arnold McKay and the boys hung out and did what ever. Avery really missed his Grandpa and climbed on him most the time.
On Sunday they joined us for church. Quin and Grandma Ellen met us there. Since their flight did not come in till that morning. During the third hour of church Quin ordained Joshua into the priesthood. We are pretty luck to have a great family that are willing to fly in to be here for this. After Church we had a small birthday celebration for McKay Alex and Avery while family were here. I forgot how much my kids LOVE uncle Quin. it was great seeing them all together playing. Grandma Ellen brought pillows with home make pillow cases for the boys still have no clue how she got them in the suit case LOL. Boys love them tho. Quin got the kids these super cute rubber CTR rings. We also revived a belated Christmas gift from Arnold and Marti which was a web cam so we all can do video calls kids are really looking forward to that. Quin also gave me a great book called 52 more weeks of family Night it is really nice to have there is a cdrom wit it will all kinds of fun Scripture activities print outs.
Quin and Grandma were able to get on an early flight wish they could have stayed longer. But after they left We pulled out the Wii Fit plus and Arnold and Marti even played on it is was great seeing them doing it and it really looked like they both had a blast. Arnold tied my high score in the penguin game and Marti got the high score on the ski jump!!
