Keith-o comes to visit!

Keith-o used to live in Utah and Aiden was pretty attached to him but then he joined the Navy and had to go to the East Coast and we were all pretty bummed! He finished all his training and before he goes home he came to visit us. We had a barbecue with the family and it was a ridiculously windy day so Kensie brought a kite. The only problem was it was a little TOO windy so the poor kite had to have several modifications and still got stuck in trees a few times and of course when Steve comes to our house it's not complete unless something goes into our neighbors yard (payback for when they freaked out at us about our sprinklers?) and Kensie had to hop the fence to retrieve it since I would prefer not to have another visit from them lol...

Blake running from the kite? Lol, she did love our little car though and Aiden kept pushing her in it (which most of the time she didn't like and yelled at him about but he kept doing it. It was a little hilarious)

They got up on the step by the door and Aiden was very upset she was on it with him. Luckily neither of them seems to mind when they are grumbling at each other. Maybe it's their way of making friends?

showing off her missing 2 front teeth! 

Later in the week we went to hang out with Jamie and the kids and by their house is this awesome lake with a little beach and paddle boats and everything. It's basically my new favorite place.

Keith-o made this sand castle, it's a little weird that he had more fun in the sand than the kids did haha

Blake kept running off to chill on the steps, it was the place to be apparently

throwing sand up and having it fall back in your face is the best

Look at Kensie's face, even she is concerned about Keith-o's love of the sand

is she not the cutest?

how pretty is this? I decided I want a house right behind where we were so I can just live on this little lake and have a gorgeous view of the mountains

needing a mom hug to let her know it was time to go

It was a lot of fun, we're sure going to miss Keith-o (even if he purposefully doesn't put my soda caps back on all the way so I spill soda on myself and then minutes later puts chocolate milk just barely balancing so it tips when I turn and soaks my pants. RUDE! and yes. that is EXACTLY what happened. And it did not induce some road rage so I could get out my anger. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

Today I went to check out Jamie's new house that's being built and we played at the park that's right there. They had a little waterfall area (decorative only) and Aiden decided to play in the rocks by it, well not after long he went face first into the pond and after that all the kids took it as permission to play in the water so we had 3 wet kids haha. Oh well!

They look so cute playing together

oh yeah until Aiden starts bossing her around...

He didn't have on a swim diaper so he ended up with some soggy saggy buns ha! It was fun and a cute park. That and I fell in love with some wood grain stamped concrete that was kind of awesome so the patio vs deck idea is back on the table. NICE!
