Visitors :)

Last week, we had some very special visitors! Clayton and Deneen came to stay with us for a few days :)
They arrived on Wednesday afternoon after driving all night long. They were EXHAUSTED! Upon arriving, they played with Beanie and got settled in. Dustin didn't arrive home from work until 7:00 so in the meantime, we just sat and visited and watched baby play!

That night, Dust brought home pizza for dinner and we called it a night fairly early so that Deneen and Clay could get some sleep.

The next morning (Thursday) Dust headed off to work so we hung around the house until after Bean finished his nap at around 2. We watched cartoons and played and relaxed!

Once he woke up, we headed to Toys'R'Us to go birthday shopping! Deneen wanted to take Beanie to pick out his presents in person. We had a lot of fun! I know she really enjoyed this because she NEVER gets to do this. We were at the store for a good hour. We ended up getting Bean a "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" ship with the GC Grandma Lucy sent (Thanks Gram B!) and then Deneen got Beanie a lawn chair, sand toys and a turtle sandbox! Unfortunately they were out of sandboxes so off we went to Target!

Target and Walmart didn't have them either so we ended up ordering one online. We can't wait to play with it!

After shopping, I took Clay and Deneen to our new home! We still had another week before moving in but I was able to show them the backyard (best part) and they peaked through the windows, too.

Next, we headed to Dust's work.  They took my car back to our house and Dust took me on a date. It was wonderful :) While they ate spaghetti and played with the new toys at home...

Clay sent us this...The lawn chair Nene bought him!

... we went to dinner, a movie, ice cream and Walmart- just the two of us! We hadn't been on a date for 7 months so it was WONDERFUL :)

Mommy and Daddy Time :)

 The next day was Friday, July 4th, so Dust was off work! We spent the morning eating eggs and bacon and then the boys went to see a movie together. Meanwhile, Deneen and Beanie took a nap and I got some blogging done!

When Xavier woke up, he and I completed a holiday craft together. He LOVES crafting! (Excuse the naked baby- we are knee high in potty training!!!)

:)

**TA-DA**

By the time the boys got home, it was time to cook out for the 4th!

Family dinner! Not enough room around our table :)

On Saturday, the boys went to lift and then we went to the park and out for some dessert!

He loved the mist machine!

Bros :)

Weeee

We were ready for a cold treat after the hot park!

After our treat, we spent the rest of the evening at home eating Deneen's meatloaf for dinner and playing!

On Sunday, the boys went to lift again so it was a quiet afternoon at the house. When they returned we had a really early dinner (because I was whiny and starving) at Sonny's! It was yummy and we had a good time!

BBQ!

M-I-L Selfie in the backseat!

When we got home, we lounged until I got hungry again...and the boys went to get some dessert for us :)

Before we knew it the night was over and it was time for them to pack :(

We said our goodbyes before they headed to bed because they were heading back to Indiana at 4AM.

It was great having company. We miss our families always  so time together like this is priceless <3
