The Rest of the Story... er, Weekend!

We were very blessed to have all sorts of family up for the weekend! Dad's brother Marvin, his wife Shannon, their daughter Cari, and grandsons Kyle and Matthew came up for the weekend from Southern California! We had a blast playing with them. Mom's mom Kenna also came down from Boise! Saturday we were able to get tickets for everyone (a total of 13 people!) to go see Christopher up at Pickleville Playhouse. I was playing around with my camera before we left Grandma Demarious' and this is what happened:

Nina, Chessie, and Parker all making funny faces. (Parker's is my favorite!)

Toph is a stud. He did a wonderful job as always! We were able to get pictures before and after the show!

Toph with all the kids... I LOVE this picture! Surrounding Toph (clockwise from top left): Nina, Chessie, Parker, Matthew, and Kyle.

Here's the cast at the end of the show... minus half of Nicole. Sorry about that. :) Toph is the tall Asian one, in case you couldn't tell...


Also, as an after thought to this wonderful weekend... Daniel and I tried again (successfully this time) to make éclairs.... ahem... Creme Puffs! We also were ambitious enough (maybe stupid enough) to make our own filling because we did not have any vanilla pudding. The first round was ruined by cooked eggs. The second round was better. So we fed Midnight (the dog) the first round. She got it on her nose. After sniffing around for a few minutes trying to figure out where in heaven's name that delicious smell was coming from, she was able to lick the scent off the top of her nose... ha ha ha ha ha!
