Visit from Bo and Becky

(Rho has told me that I post my pictures too small, so here they are in jumbo size.)

Rho's parents and two of our nieces, Taylor and Jade, came to visit us last week during their Spring Break. As usual, we weren't terribly entertaining, but I know the kids had a good time together and the adults enjoyed several evenings of playing "42", teaching me along the way.

On Sunday, everyone attended Corban's Upward Basketball awards
program in the afternoon and we ate at Noodles for dinner afterward. It was cold and drizzly that evening and we awoke to snow on Monday morning, causing great excitement for Jade. Several of the gang made a great snowman in our backyard.

Becky and I attended my yoga-pilates class together on Monday evening, returning home to find the kitchen cleaned up AND the kids in bed!! WOW!

We ate dinner out again on Tuesday evening at an Italian place called Cinzetti's. Everyone enjoyed that.

We took the kids to a neat playground one day, where Bo helped Corban fly his cool dragon kite. Most of the kids took turns flying it and had a good time generally running around and burning some energy.

On Thursday, we hit the rec center for some swimming. The girls had their lessons, so it was a convenient time for us to enjoy the pool. Becky chose not to swim, since she was sick, but the rest of us got in and splashed around.

During the week, Bo was busy working on several projects for us. Notice his t-shirt that says "I Can Fix Anything!" So true. He got our dining room chandelier rehung so that we're not knockin' our noggins anymore. He repaired our drippy kitchen faucet. He did some electrical thing with the lights upstairs in the loft. Most importantly, though, he fixed our psycho garage door!!! That thing has given us headaches for the last three winters, going up and down and up again and stopping mid-way and going down a little, then up a smidge....you get the picture. I'd leave the house early just to allow time to get the garage door down! It's a joy every time I see that door go up or down with only ONE push of the button! HOORAY! THANK YOU BO!
