Two Family Visits and a Fence!!!

We had the wonderful opportunity of having some of my family and some of Joseph's family come visit us in the past couple of weeks. The first to arrive was Saba and Savta (my "step" Dad, Rafe, and his wife, Carol). We had such a great time with them while they were here! Mainly we just enjoyed being together, but some of the activities we did during their stay were go to the park, go to the new Grantsville Library, and go to This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. We absolutely loved spending time with them and cannot wait to see them again. Their visit went by way to fast! I didn't take a whole lot of pictures, I just haven't been taking many at all lately, but here are a few from their stay here with us:

The next visit was some of Joseph's family who came this past weekend to help us build a fence in our back yard. While the guys got started on Friday, Alicia and I took our kids and Abby to the zoo! That was fun, except for the fact that both Alicia and I are about two months away from having our babies. Pushing strollers up hills while you are in your third trimester of pregnancy is not the easiest thing to do. The kids had a great time, though.

Nora and Tayson crack us up. They are best little buddies when they are together.

Yay! Alicia and I towards the end of the zoo trip. We made it! Her belly is just about the same size as mine, although you cannot tell from the picture. Not fair :(. I think she is facing more forward than I am. According to both of our recent measurements, it is looking like we could both be due at the end of June. It just may be that we have these boys on the same day!!!

And now the FENCE!!!!! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! Joseph, his dad, and Tyler all worked so hard for two days straight to put it up. They did an amazing job. We are super happy with it. Getting a fence in the back yard has been something we have wanted to do since we moved here over five years ago. We cannot thank Dad and Tyler enough. It meant the world to us that they came down to help Joseph out!

While Alicia and I were at the zoo on Friday, Joseph's mom and Emily put together this playhouse that we got for the girls on Christmas. The kids were ecstatic when they saw it and were so excited to play inside it when we got home. Thank you so much Mom and Emily!!! You two are AWESOME!!

 And, just for fun, here is the promised belly shot. I don't think it is the greatest picture of me, but I had Joseph take this the other day because I don't have any pictures of my growing belly with Anthon yet. I am 30 weeks in these pictures.
