Kaiser Family Visit

I don't know why the pictures uploaded out of order, but I'm going to leave them the way they came up! While we were in Avon, my college roommate, Kat, and her husband, Graham (who was also on the same floor as us in PV East at ASU) came to visit us with their two beautiful girls...Caroline and Julia.

Although he said Julia's name pretty well, Fletcher kept referring to them as Aubrey and Ashlyn ("Ashes"), associating them with the two little girls (his cousins) he had just seen a couple weeks prior to this visit. Fletcher also kept them on their toes quite a bit. They were so great and patient with him, but I think they got tired of telling him to stop doing whatever he was choosing to do at the moment...I can relate!

One of the highlights of their visit was a trip over to Edwards to check out the Crazy Mountain Brewery. We shared two flights to taste test and then we each ordered a pint of our own. Kat and I hung out and conversed while the guys and kids played Cornhole and Blongoball.






Fletcher was upset because he wanted some beer. He wanted to put his finger on the top (like he did with Guinness in Ireland), but then he also wanted to taste it, then dip his hands in it, and then drink it on his own. We would give him the empty glasses, but I'm pretty sure he broke one here.



If it wasn't so expensive, I may have purchased this "I am one crazy mother sucker" onesie.













This also happened to be Holden's 2 month birthday. Want a trip to a brewery, little guy? Okay!



I can't believe I caught this lovely little picture...arranged marriage anyone?


Graham found a sushi place that had happy hour, so we headed there after the brewery before heading back to the timeshare to play games and feed the kids some more food.


Like I said, the pictures came up out of order, so now we're jumping back one day. I dressed Holden in a Sun Devils outfit for his friends and took pictures of him in his first hotel room.





Here are Kat, Caroline, and Holden.


Here are a couple shots of Caroline, Fletcher, and Julia eating pasta the first night of their visit.



I cropped my kids out of this picture to just get the two of them. Aren't they precious!?


I joined the children (to try and help Fletcher behave) during their movie.



Here's Graham with Julia and Holden.


Here are the best pictures I could get of the three older kids.



Here are the best of Fletcher, Holden, Caroline, and Julia.



We were so happy to spend two nights and one fun day with the Kaisers in the mountains! We ended it Sunday morning with brunch at the hotel restaurant, Cima. Yum, yum!
