More visitors!

How do I manage to get so few pictures of the most anticipated weeks of our lives? Anyway, here's another glimpse of our visit from Nannah, Aunt Jenna, and (future) Uncle Mark.

Nannah playing games with the girls. 'Course the circular motion made her sick after 2 seconds:)

The (future) Mr and Mrs Day. For those who don't know, Jenna (my one and only best sissa) got engaged 3? weeks ago!!
*Gotta tell the little story here. Just skip to the next picture if your kids are playing in the toilet or something.

Mark Day is one of Nate's BFs from Rochester, MN. When we were visiting Minnesota last Christmas both Nate and I (separately) decided that Mark and Jenna needed to give-er-a-go. Slight problem being distance. Jenna is a nurse in Denver...but hey, we live in a digital world? Anyway, after much prodding and encouragement in January, the emails began to flow (like two a month - whoa!). We returned to MN in July and had gone ahead with "The Setup." Yeah, they're engaged now. Those Roch boys are hard to resist. We are so excited for them both!

Girls can't get enough of the iphone action.

Hannah developed a little crush on Uncle Mark so she helped make sure Jenna and Mark got very little alone time. Sorry guys...she means well:)
Jen ran the Thunder Road Half Marathon!!! Mark met her at mile 10 and Hannah and Ellie at 13 miles and helped her run the last .1 miles. AKA, she had to carry Ellie across the finish line. She did awesome and it was very inspiring to see. Mike, Heather, and handsome little Anders Kofoed also came to cheer her on and it was so fun to see them!
WHAT? I have to run BACK?!?

Oh Pookie...

Other activities included:
painting our kitchen table black (love it)
Trip to IKEA with lunch and lots of fun new things
Toddler Time at the Library and a whole new wardrobe for the girls from our favorite consignment shop
The Lion King (projected on our house)out on the trampoline
Dinner at PF Changs
The Concord Mills Merry-Go-Round.

So fun to have y'all here! Thanks so much!

P.S. Spencer is also engaged! He got engaged to Brooke Cather from Lolo, MT a month ago. She is adorable and perfect for Spence! You guys can score some blog space if you come visit:))) So this spring will feature 2 weddings and a baby for my family! Jen and Mark have set April 14th in the SLC Temple. Spence and Brooke are tentatively April 6/7 in the Billings Temple. So save the date folks...it's gonna be a party!
