The Young and the Restless

Lenie Jelly Beanie

It's hard being away from family, so we love every chance we get to spend time with them. We were excited to have my little sister, Julene, come stay for a couple of days then drive with us up to Vegas for my little brother's wedding. She was a celebrity in the eyes of my kids and they followed her around like her own little paparazzi. She was so cute to do crafts with them, have movie/make-up parties (yes, Jayden is getting a facial mask in case you were wondering), go swimming (where Kylie was so nice to point out to her "wow, you are really white), and go on like a 5 mile bike ride in 100 degree weather (so maybe I underestimated how far it was to Jayden's school). We had sisterly bonding time while going to the gym, shopping, going out for dinner, staying up late to watch movies and let's not forget her famous back massages. She is the best back massager (even better than the one in Mexico :) and Jason and I fought over her every night. She was a good sport while I dragged her around to all of my errands...volunteering at Kylie's school, driving carpool, grocery shopping (and CVS shopping for free. inside joke.) and she even baby-sat while I went to doctor's appointments and VT . I am such a good host. But the best part of the weekend was, brace yourself....we learned the Hannah Montana "Hoe Down Throw Down" dance. Oh we are so cool. It was so fun having her around, we're trying to find her a job so that she can move down here between semesters and be our live-in nanny again! We love you Lenie, thanks for coming!
