We own a townhome as many of you know-and I think it is just perfect. I have never thought of it as too big or too small-until my family came! It is amazing how 4 and a half extra bodies can eat up space! Be we were resourceful and thanks to a few air mattresses we had places for everyone to sleep!
My mom, and sisters Michelle, Amy and Leslie came to visit for a long weekend, along with my niece Kaylee. I was so excited for them to come, we love to have visitors-especially family. And my little sisters were most excited about the pool in our complex. They would have tried to sleep there if we would have let them I think!
We did all kinds of fun things while they were here. Friday we played in the park and had a bar-b-que picnic...by lamplight since we didn't get started until late. :)
Saturday we went to the zoo in Fort Worth

Saturday we went to the zoo in Fort Worth
and to The Fort Worth Stockyards to see the rodeo and have some "real" Texas food.
Kaylee did not like the rodeo too much as the loud noice scared her but I not sure who enjoyed the rodeo the most, Leslie because she won the calf chase and received a PINK cowgirl hat, or my mom as she watched the barrel racers and relived her days riding her horse Fender.
Sunday I cooked a lasagna-with turkey meat (shhh don't tell my sisters) and invited my nana and a friend from work over for dinner. I love having dinner with friends and family. Alan and I eat too much alone, we love having company for dinner!
Monday the girls and Alan made breakfast for everyone while I was at work then we all went to the Rec Center near our house. They have an indoor and outdoor pool area but due to the stormy weather we spent most of our time inside. My mom and I introduced going under water to Kaylee...she likes the water at lot. We helped Leslie and Amy perfect their dives. Leslie is fearless...the poor thing had hot pink legs and torso by the time she was done, there were a few dives that turned into "belly flops" that make you hurt just watching. They were both showing signs of improvement by the time we left.
You know, I always forget until I am around family-how crazy life can be! There is never a dull moment in my family-it made our house seem very empty and quite once they left. I can't wait to see them for Sarah's wedding!
