A Nelson family Visit

My brother, Matt, and his family...Kristi, Emma, Riley, and Logan came to visit with my Mom and Dad. They spent a couple days here and then traveled to Disneyland for a trip. We got to see them for a few days on their way home as well. We LOVE having visitors and enjoyed our time with them so much.



Along with my other brother, Sam, and his wife, Madelyn, who live here in Vegas, too, we showed them the water show at the Bellagio and the amazing gardens, the M&M store, the Lions at the MGM, ate, hung out, chatted, laughed, and just had a fun time being around each other. Kylie and Peyton loved having cousins around to play with.

I love the smiles on all their faces...



Hanging out at our house...

Peyton and Kylie helping Grandpa fix one of our chairs. Thanks for all the projects you completed, Dad! They love helping Grandpa. I love Peyton's face here...

Grandma, Grandpa, Peyton, and Kylie ...

Last, but not least, Peyton being "Oohperman!" He loves Superman and is going to be "oohperman" as he calls him for Halloween. He loves his pajama costume.

Thanks for a fun time. We already miss you guys!

It's always fun to have family visit! Glad you guys had fun! But one question, why didn't Chris fix the chair? Or do any of the other projects?! :)

That is so fun to have your family down to visit. My mom told me about the little trip and it sounded like so much fun. I love visitors too but we rarely get them. In fact... my mom is the only that really come to visit. :( We are grateful for that though and we will take what we can get. ha ha

I'm still jealous looking at all the pictures. I bet you guys had so much fun!! I loved all the pictures.
And that would be so fun to be at Disneyland right now huh!! Joe and I have decided we're celebrating when dental school is over and going to Disneyland.

As for Natalie's comment above.... We are planning on sending Matthew out to visit her soon. :o) Your pictures were so fun to look at!! I love seeing your family!! All the kids look SO happy to be together. Matt and Kristi's kids are so adorable, too. There is a lady in my ward here in Lehi who went to high school with Matt. She saw him on my facebook page and emailed me about him. Small world, huh?? Anyway, I'm glad you're having so much fun...as always. Your blog looks really cute, by the way. I hope your computer is all better. :o) Jason has been having issues with his, too....and it sucks. Oh well, have the rest of a good week!!

So nice to have visitors, I know that you really like having people visit. Glad they all had a great time. It looks like you went to the water feature at the Bellagio. We take everyone there too.

I bet they love when their cousins come to visit! Everyone on my husbands side have moved away so Keili only gets to see her cousins on my family now. Oh, and you will NOT get to see a prego pic of me. Rules are no pictures of me while I am pregnant (unless it is of my chest up... and I dont know about that anymore since my face is getting chubbier!)

Omg...Anna...your parents have not aged at all since I saw them last...which was way back in the day at a high school ball game I'm sure...something like 10 years ago now! They look great, as does the rest of your family. I loved living in Vegas when I was there, so fun with all the visitors that come through!
