A weekend of fun

5 weeks ago my Sister Kelly and her husband Nathan came to visit us from San Antonio. Nathan is planning on going to Chiropractic school this January and they wanted to come check out the Chiropractic school here. Little did I know the college was right around the corner from us! They are deciding between this school and a school in Dallas, but are leaning more towards the school here because, well you know, WE ARE HERE. :) That's not the only reason, but it's a big reason, or so I'd like to think :). My mom was also here with us helping me out with adjusting to 4 boys! Oh man I was so spoiled! She was the BEST! She relieved a lot of stress for me, keeping my house clean, preparing meals, entertaining Owen during the day while Ethan and Dallin were at school. Owen sure missed her when she left. We all did. I think I broke down a few times before she left and after... she doesn't know that. :) Here are some pictures of our fun weekend. :) Oh and be sure to scroll down and listen to Owen's story. :)

Kelly & Nathan, my mom and myself went to the downtown plaza here in KS, and I gave them a little tour. :) This is the river that runs right next to the plaza. You can pay to ride in a Gondola down this river. Heber and I have yet to do it. It looks so romantic.
"Please, no more pictures" :P
Dallin sure loves his new baby brother. He loves to give him kisses and "Pet" him. :)
Erik 3 wks old.
Owen loves to ride on Nathan's shoulders. My sister Kelly has another picture of the two of them like this when Owen was 1 yrs old. It's so cute!
We went to Diana Rose Farmstead. It's a free petting Zoo, but you pay to do activities like fishing, riding ponies, etc... Here's Dallin catching his first fish!
We were SO grateful Nathan was with us, because somebody had to volunteer to do the icky job of putting worms on the hooks, and it sure wasn't going to be me! (Heber was at home with Eric).

Owen's Story :)

A few weeks ago, My Sister Kelly and her husband Nathan came to visit us, and one of the nights they were here, Heber was upstairs getting the boys to bed, and he was telling them a story. While My mom, myself, and my sister and brother in law were downstairs talking, Owen came down the stairs to supposedly say goodnight to us, but then plopped himself on the couch and said he wanted to tell us a story. :) So Nathan got out their camera and started to film him telling the story. The reason there are 4 clips is because he would stop every time he thought Owen was done with his story, but then Owen would go on. :) I surprised Owen at the end. :) He is such a character! And he LOVES to make up stories.
