Stand by...........

This weekend we had the pleasure of having Gary and Jon come down and visit us. Gary brought Allie and Jon brought some of his peeps (girls).

Gary and Allie flew down from Calgary, because they were bumped off two flights out of Edmonton, they fortunately made the last flight of the night out of Calgary.
Jon made his 2nd flight by the skin of his teeth, two people didn't want to split up so he barely made it.

Today on the other hand trying to get home Jon has been on stand by all day since 8:30 this morning and Gary and Allie since 2:00 pm. Don't know if they are going to make it out tonight.

We had a great time, Cooper warmed up really fast to both of them and they were perfect entertainment for a few days.

Alivia and Jon had a word war going on. Livi overheard one of Jon's friends say that he had a lot of nerve and Alivia came upstairs as I was making dinner and said. "mom my uncle Jon has a lot of nerve" I died laughing. It was so funny.

So Livi kept telling Jon that he had a lot of nerve and he would call her onions.

So I met Allie, she is very nice and friendly which I appreciated, unlike Jon's friends:)

We took Gary and Allie to lunch today and Gary ordered Country fried steak, which he said, he has never had.

WHAT???? it looked good at first until Gary got a hold of it.

It was horrible weather here this weekend but today was great.
We put out some of the Halloween decor and made Halloween ghosts and hung them outside so they can blow in the wind.

The kids are getting over some colds, teeth and molars. Other than that, Ben hasn't had a day off in I think going on 18 days now. So he is tired and hungry.

Excited for Halloween, we(activities committee) are planning our neighborhood/ward activity. It is going to be so much fun. Alivia is going to be Tinkerbell, Cooper- Peter pan and Bauer, probably a chicken. You thought I was going to say Captain hook. Nope need to use old costumes and save some cash.

Send pictures soon
