Ohhh where to begin.... I have so many things to say that I will try to separate them the best I can. My family was here to visit the begining of July. My brother Ryan, his significant other Katie, and his daughter Eden arrived by plane as well as my uncle Dan. My mom and dad, Robert, arrived by train. The boys and I went to Union Station, downtown Kansas City, to meet their arrival. The funny thing was that the boys had no idea they were coming to visit. My mom wanted to surprise them. It was so awesome to be standing at the platform, with my boys, looking at everyone getting off the train and for them to notice that the 2 people walking towards them were their grandma and grandpa. It made me well up with tears.

It was a full house but we had a great time. They were all here for 4th of July as well as Aden and Eden's birthdays. We had a big party to celebrate. Uncle Dan had to return home to work after the weekend.
We also made it to the zoo (which included my sister-in-law Brylie and her kids Creed and Roman). It was hysterical when we went into the petting zoo area and the sheep where coming up to the babies in the strollers and trying the find food. Katie was trying to be brave and feed the goats and sheep but they kept swarming her and she would run away.

We went to Smithville Lake and played in the water. The kids had a great time. It was hard to see everyone leave but I guess it was necessary for them to return to their lives.
