Full House

For the past few days my brother, Tyler, sister-in-law, LaVonne, and niece, Bella have been staying with us. During their visit my dad and family has come down to our house for dinner and my mom has stayed a couple days. So, we have had a house full and it has been wonderful.

We have gone to the beach and gone swimming with Tyler, LaVonne, Bella, and my mom. Josh and Zach just love that Bella is here. I think Zach likes that there is someone smaller than him that he can play with. He gets right in Bella's face and she gives him a look that says "what are you doing in my face?" He tries to treat her more like a baby, than the big girl she is!

When my dad, step-mom, and my youngest brother and sister, James and Meghann came down we sat outside and BBQ ribs and hamburgers. Some how James taught Josh how to swing by himself, without being pushed. Sean and I have been trying to figure out how James did it, because we have been working with Josh for months trying to get him to swing on his own. We have been teaching him how to pump his leg and lean back and forth. He said James just told him to do it fast. And that worked. We no longer have to push Josh on the swing, he wont let us push him, and now I miss it!

After several days of having my brother and family here, they are off to Europe tomorrow. They will be back in two and a half weeks. So, Josh and Zach will have Bella back before they even know she is gone and we can continue right where we left off by going to the beach and swimming.
