Nieces

 My nieces came to help out about week 4 after Ammon was born - they showed up 20 minutes after Grandma Judy left - thank you!!! Shayla came when Abbey was born and hung out with us, drove us around and took care of my kids while I slept - I was more than happy to have her come back!! :) This time she brought Marissa who had just graduated from high school and was currently not doing ANYTHING. They were so very helpful and I hope to return the favor some day - love you girls!

Shayla & Abbey

 Marissa spent a lot of time in this chair or the couch holding Ammon or warding off other small children who wanted to use her SUPER COOL phone. Which was great because I didn't want to go anywhere either!

 Noone can resist a nap with a sleeping baby. We also make good use of the pacifier.

 A beautiful day to spend outside creating fun artwork.

 They stayed up late, played games and listened to a random hodge podge of music - apparently us married folk went to bed too early  (10 pm.....sheesh, when did I get so old!?)

 And cookies, they made lots of yummy cookies!

 Marissa also spent most of her time attached to the phone on the side of her head on in her hands - I made her put it down for a quick pic. Doesn't she look much better without the phone head??
