This last weekend we had the privilege of having Monkey's family come stay with us Thursday and Friday! They got to come because Rhett Monkey's brother who is going on a mission in November was going to go through the Portland Temple. We were so excited to have them stay with us. Belle helped so much with cleaning and helping me plan a yummy menu! They got here Thursday morning and of course we headed to the beach. We went to a new beach called Ocean side and WOW it was breathe taking!
This man was my favorite thing about the beach! He was all dressed up in his Sunday best and wearing a sombrero! He looked like he was with his grandchildren- He was sitting in his chair flying a kite and his grand kids were just laughing and they looked like the were having the time of their lives! I know that is a little creepy that I was watching them but I learned a good little lesson- that life is good! And it gets better with people you love, a little dressing up, and a sweet sombrero!
The day was spent playing football, soccer, wrestling (Caleb and Rhett... not the best thing to watch!! ha), drawing in the sand, laughing, Cash crying, and trying to get me way out in the ocean.... I hate sea animals... but I did it! Then we headed back home for a spaghetti dinner and watched Nacho Libre! It was hilarious having 12 people find a spot to sleep in our three bedroom home.. Cash, Monkey, and I were in my room. Belle was in the bathroom haha, Ariel and Quinton in one room, Caleb and Lexi in one room, Nate and Rhett on the floor in the dining room, and Chloris and Katrina on a air mattress in our living room! I love it.
Friday was the so special- We went to Olive Garden and ate the never ending pasta bowl and headed over to the temple. What an incredible wonderful experience. I kept thinking how Chloris and Mark, Monkey's parents were feeling... The almost had their entire family in there with them! 2 to go! I was so excited for the day that all my children will be there with Monkey and I. I am so grateful that we got to be a part of this with Rhett. I am so excited and happy for him! He is going to be such a effective and wonderful missionary!

It's looks like you guys had an amazing time as usual! Ya'll are such an awesome family I'm not surprised! I can't believe Cash's hair is so blonde, it just makes him more adorable if that's possible! I just can't believe that Rhett is going on his mission he really can't be that old can he?!?
