A visitor from out West!

*To get caught up on the blog, we will be highlighting some events from the past few months. Once we get to "present time" we will try to stay updated and post at least every other week!*

On August 25th Alyssa's Aunt Chris came to visit the family.

She was mainly here to see her 2 Great Nieces and Great Nephew (the first boy after 9 girls!!)

Here's how we got to NINE: Alyssa's Cousins Melissa, Erica, and Kayla make 3. Then there is Katie and Alyssa (4 & 5). Next, Melissa had two girls (Lauren and Caitlin; #'s 6 & 7). Erica had Kylee and Katie had Ella. Yep, that's right, 9 girls!!

FINALLY, a BOY!! Dallas makes #10 and I think it's safe to say everyone was looking forward to buying tucks, tractors, and trains!! (Not that girls can't play with that stuff, but you know what I mean!!)

Aunt Chris makes wonderful knit gifts for the babies like hats and blankets and I think she was pretty excited to be able to make some blue items.

We OF COURSE took lots of pictures, so enjoy!

The last few are of Dallas wearing his hat from Aunt Chris and sleeping with the blanket she made him:)

We can't wait to see you again, Aunt Chris!!

OK comes to WI

One August 8th, Michael's family (Carla- his mom, Aunt Kelly, and Cousin Candace) arrived at our house after the long 13 hour drive up here:) We were so happy to see them, although Alyssa wasn't able to stay awake any longer so she had to hit the sack at about 10pm...they got here shortly after.

Most of the time they spent here was just hanging out at our house, doing A LOT of cooking...well Carla did most of that since Michael demanded she make some of his favorite meals.

We did go on a short shopping trip to the Outlet Mall in Oshkosh, where I think everyone found a little something for themselves:)

Enjoy these pictures from their stay.
