Visitors!!

Well this past weekend was a very busy one with lots of visitors. Friday I took off to start my garage sale, then that evening Mandi,David,Devin,Aleyse and Loren came to spend the night and visit. Then later in the evening my youngest sister,Chelsea and her fiance,Dan came too. Wow it sure was a house full but a good time was had by all. Satuday we just hang out and did my garage sale some more. Saturday afternoon the Sieferts and Loren left, then Chels,Dan,me and the kids went to the botanical gardens for the Art Festival. It was a steamy night but nice.

My attempt to get a good picture of the 4 Hiler cousins, didn't work very well, thanks Darren.


Can you tell Cassie loves her cousin?

We had a great memorial day. We really didn't do much, the kids swam, Brian finished up his garden and I made some yummy Holiday food. Otherwise it was a great relaxing 3 day weekend and what beautiful weather we had too, the kids and me got some much needed sun. WE WANT MORE NOW!!

Fun day with a friend

Rachael a girl I work with invited us over on Sunday for a cookout and to let the kids run and play. It was so beautiful, she even got the sprinkler out for the kids to run in. Cassie,Darren and Justin had a great time.
