The Brown's

The day that Kelsi left we had some first-time visitors! My aunt Ruth Ann and her family came to stay! We have been begging them to come and stay since we moved in. We knew their kids would have so much fun swimming. My girls had SO much fun with their girls. Her two youngest are 4 and 7 so they get along great. 

This is Quincy (the youngest) and she was a hoot! Loved listening to her. My favorite thing that happened was on Sunday. She was in my primary class and when I told my class that this was my cousin from Utah she jumped up out of her chair and broke into song singing, "Utah. People working together. Utah. It's a great place to be!" She sang a few more lines and did some actions with it and then sat down like nothing had happened. It was AWESOME! I found out later that it was a song/dance that Abby had to do in a school program. When I told this story after church Ruth laughed so hard she was crying and the kids were So embarrassed! Loved it!!

These girls had too much fun together and we were so sad when they left us!

We played some corn hole and had a great time. Gavin must have liked it because he went home and made some boards!

Off to Disneyland for the first time ever! I think I was more excited than they were! I love how Quincy is posing. I'm so sad I didn't get a picture with Ethan and I. He just left a few days ago for the Mexico City East Mission. 

I was beyond impressed with their family. I have always looked up to Ruth but seeing how she is as a mother really made me want to do better. Her kids didn't fight one time the whole time they were here. They totally get along. They genuinely enjoy being together. They don't back-talk. They are polite and offered to help with everything. It was also so nice to see cutler doing so well. He has had major health problems for a few years and he looked better than I had seen him in years! I don't know if you will ever read this but thanks SO much for coming out of the way to see us and please come back soon!

Also-thanks for fixing my dishwasher Gavin! It's purring like a kitten:) 

He told me that my dishwasher was the cleanest that he's taken apart. Brett said, "that's because she washes the dish before putting them in there." What can I say? I am my mothers daughter.
