visitors!!!

wow,we had a busy week this week! i can't even believe it is sunday already. beth, averie and baylor some friends from toledo came to visit us. really they came to see tonia's new baby tierney but they stayed with us and it was a nice visit. averie and baylor just loved stella!!!! callie did very good with the kids too, so that was comforting! my sister mel also came and stayed and my mom and dad came down for the day on friday. it was nice to see my whole family. we all went out to eat and had a good time. my mom also brought lots of stuff for the baby!!! and a few maternity things for me too, so that was nice. they also brought the cake from our wedding that we were supposed to eat on our anniversary. we tried it the other day but it was pretty nasty, brandon took a bite and said "do we have to eat the whole thing?" you know it isn't great if he doesn't want to eat it!!!

this is just our crazy cat stella. she is hanging off the ledge in our hallway which is about the same height as the top of our staircase. she rolls around up there and has already fallen off once. not jumped, actually fallen, she was so confused when she hit the ground!!



here is averie carrying stella around the house, these two were pals by the last day they were here. i was shocked that stella would just let averie pick her up and carry her around, it was very cute. i think averie needs a kitty in her life!!!!!!!!


in the midst of all that fun we also went over to the tonys last night for dinner. brandon really hasn't had time to see them or the boys much since we got here because of how busy he has been with the house and work. i just have to say though that he is going to be the best daddy ever. he ran around with the boys for a long time and played games with them. carmine kept saying "do it again!" when he was throwing him up in the air. he also held tierney and did a great job, he stayed very calm even when she was screaming at him. he even let rece get him with the hose!!!! i can't wait to see him with our kids as they grow, he is going to be awesome!
