THEY'RE HERE!!

After 8 long years of hearing how Eric was bringing his family back to the states with him... it's finally happened! Eric, Cyntia, Jared, & Trisha are all here now! It's been the most amazing week with them, getting to know them and sharing our cultures. They are going to fit right in here!

Daniel and I got to have a date night in Vegas Saturday night (Thanks Jen and Jimmy for having a sleepover for the kids - luckily the Lindell cousins were home for the weekend and so that was fun!) We ate at the cheesecake factory (mmmm...) and then watched the fountains a few times and headed to the airport. They landed just as we were getting there, so perfect timing! This was about 1030 so by the time we drove home it was 2am. We visited and I got in the shower at 3am and back up at 8ish to get ready for church! We just hung out on Sunday and visited and had dutch oven. Daniel took Monday off due to rain (and his brother FINALLY being here) We took all the kids to jump'n jacks and then ate these super good super nacho type stuff! :) It was so good. Tuesday Mya and I took them out to Zion and we had a picnic with Daniel and did the tourist thing in Zion. Came home and had sloppy joes and the boys went to scouts to play baseball. Today we went to see the Temple because besides Eric this was the first time any of them had ever seen the Temple in real life. Off to in&out for lunch and then to check out Barnes & Noble. Then we found some good to stuff to cook with at the Mexican market here and came home and Cyntia made home made corn tortillas (my personal favorite - I'm SO lucky to have 2 sister-in-laws that can make my favorite food!!) and carne asada and chis mol... it was absolutley to DIE FOR!! I could eat that everyday all day! Tomorrow we will have a little birthday party for Trisha because her birthday is Friday, when Daniel will take them and meet John in Evanston to take them on to Lovell. We will miss them and see them with everyone else in May for Sean's graduation! Can't wait!!

This picture is funny because if you read both their shirts it says "HI, I'M HERE!"
