We had visitors for Labor Day weekend - the Varneys drove up from their new home a few hours south of here. For those of you who don't know, Aaron and Julie were in our ward in Provo - we moved up here within two weeks of each other. They provided us with lots of babysitting and in return, we beat them at many a Settlers game. We also ate lots of brownies and Moose Tracks ice cream together. We've had fun over the years, especially when we all lived in family housing together. Trey has grown up so much and is a delightful, energetic, and happy boy. He's a year younger than Robby.
We celebrated my birthday while they were here with my family's infamous clown cake:
I love this picture because you can tell just how much fun the dads are having wrestling and tickling their kids:
Where are the children?
Now for some down time:
Rob and Aaron built a crazy cup tower, which Erica enjoyed knocking down:
This picture turned out surprisingly cool. Look closely at the cups!
I love visitors and friends and fun weekends! And I love that tower!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures--thanks for sending them to us, too! We had a GREAT time with you guys; thanks again for hosting us! And as for Settlers, it must be mentioned, that we've had our share of wins, too. I think.... :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, its always fun to see old friends. Mike liked the paper cup tower, I think he is getting ideas on how to make his tower. What a great action shot at the end!
ReplyDeleteSO I forgot to wish you a happy birthday Julie! How could I have forgotten when we share the same day??? Looks like you guys had a lot of fun together! It's always fun to see old friends! And I have to say, that pic of Erica in the falling cups is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Good job!
