The boys are back in town!

We were all excited when we heard Gary was coming for a visit.  Matt decided that he wanted to be here too so he flew in for party of Gary's trip.  It was so fun to have us all together.
On Thursday Tiff and I drove up and we met Gary and mom at Mel's house.  It was so fun to see and hold the babies.  Clara is growing up and is so adorable!  It was fun to see her smile.
Zariyah is so much fun to watch.  She has so much personality. 
After Mel's we went over to mom and dad's and visited all evening. It was so nice to catch up on our families and laugh a lot! Matt got in that night. We could smell gas in mom and dad's house again so they had to call the gas company back. They realized it was a "leaky nipple" on the hot water heater. We had a lot of fun with that and came up with some really good jokes! They were able to fix that and hopefully mom and dad will finally be done with gas leaks.
On Friday Gary dropped Matt off at our house and took Lindy out to lunch.  We had fun visiting with Matt.  Keith had the day off for Veteran's Day, so he was glad that he was able to be here.  Matt helped Hallee with her wordscapes puzzles. 
Everyone came over to my house that afternoon.  We went over to the river trail and went for a walk. Dad knew he would be too cold, so he stayed home.
We gathered for a picture and I asked if someone was missing and Tiff said it was Jen.  It still doesn't feel complete without her, I'm always looking for six of us.
Cute Hallee! You can see Matt making bunny ears in the last picture.
I love the river trail!
I was happy to see Lindy, I have not seen her enough since she came back to Provo.
Keith stayed with the kids and let them play.
It's been a while since we have taken the kids over to the parkway.
They always say they don't want to go, but they always have a great time.
We loved having Keith with us all day.
Gary got this amazing picture of the sunset on the parkway. It was so beautiful.
We went to Costa Vida for dinner and Leatherbys for dessert. 
Tessa was sick so she couldn't come.  Hallee had a great time with Damon. Wyatt and Rockwell chose to stay home and eat Ramen and play video games.  
Yummy food and more time to visit.
Spending time with family makes me happy.
After Leatherby's we came back to my house.
I asked Lindy to take some pictures for us and I found this gem on my phone!
We decided to take some awkward family photos.
We had some good laughs while we took these. 
I missed the memo that we were supposed to have a serious face in this one.
We definitely nailed it on this one.  I love Matt's cross eyes!
Jonah was in and out that day, but I was glad he got some time to see Gary and Matt.  I'm so grateful he has these uncles to look up to! It was so fun to have Matt and Gary here. I'm so blessed that my siblings are my favorite people to spend time with.
