See this baby?

Couldn't you just eat him up?  We got to snack on him for a whole week!

I know!!! We are sooo lucky!  Last week Eric and Ember's family drove down from Utah and spent part of their spring break with us.

And because we are such wonderful hosts, we met them at the door with a healthy meal of hot dogs and ranch dip.  We also provided complementary nunchuks to Kyle, who is a ninja turtle in training.

While they were here I made Shannon and Jessica clean the pool, because, as you know, I am a big fat slave driver.

And, because I am also VERY unfair, I let these two play video games all day while everyone else was cleaning the pool.

I hope they don't make him wear a mask when he joins the Ninja Turtle Guild, he's much to cute to cover up.

A couple of people, who shall remain nameless(Sylvan and Eric), thought it would be great fun to load up 10 kids and drive 100 miles for the best Mexican food in the world.  Wesley was sooo excited.

By the time we got there everyone was either worn out or delirious.  Neither one makes for a very pleasurable ride.   Needless to say for an assortment of reasons we were all happy to arrive at the infamous landmark of Mexican cusine La Casita.  UNTIL.......we got inside and they informed us that, they, the best Mexican resturant in the world, were out of tortillas!! WHAT??!!

Luckily the second best Mexican resturant in the world was just one back alley away. I'm sure you can imagine how relieved we were that there was a plan B. 

Dear LaCasita,

If you ever hope to have your picture on our world famous blog, thus receiving the priceless amounts of free publicity such exposure brings, I recommend you do not EVER run out of tortillas again.

Yours truly,

Later in the week everyone went out back and Eric bounced them to the Moon.  It was great fun.

If you click on this picture you will be able to see just how much effort Uncle Eric was putting into all of that bouncing.  It's quite impressive.

Eric has tons of pictures of "Go Kart" day on his camera, which I KNOW he will be posting on the new blog that we are sure he has been inspired to start, if for no other reason than to tell his side of the story.  We had a really great time while they were here and hope we will get to see them all again soon.
