Easton & Ellie

This weekend, we got to have my niece Ellie (Mary Jo's daughter) and my nephew Easton (Clint's son) come up and visit. Easton, Clint, and Jenny brought Ellie up Friday night. They all stayed that night. I tried to take some really cute pictures of Caleb and Easton together, but one or the other always turned their head. It doesn't matter, They are still cute even if they aren't looking at the camera!!
(If Easton saw the flash of the camera, he'd turn his head and smile like this! SO CUTE!!!)

(Giving kisses)

Clint, Jenny, and Easton left Saturday, but we got to keep Ellie!
(She kept pulling her beanie down over her eyes, but she looked SO cute!!)

Dave and I decided that since it was too cold to take the kids to the park, we would load them all up and go to McDonalds. We got there and made it through the lines to order for everyone (I don't know how parents of 5 kids do it!!) We herded all of the kids into the play area. Caleb had just taken his shoes off to start playing when Ava came waddling up to me. She had peed her pants ALL OVER. It wasn't just a little. She was leaving pee footprints with every step! We had to herd all of the kids back to the van, strip off Ava's pants, and drive back home. (so much for the fun time!!) Because Ava stunk so bad, we gave everyone baths (if you wash one, you might as well wash them all!)
When everyone was all clean, we settled down to watch a few cartoons before bed.
Ellie really started to miss her Mommy, so I told her we were going to make a video of her to put on our blog for her Mommy. This is what she came up with...

We've had a lot of fun, and we sure will miss them when they go home tomorrow! Luckily we'll get to see them all again in St. George this week!
