Visitors

My sister and her family had Spring Break the end of March so decided to come where it's warm, Corpus! (only 12 hrs away) We had so much fun!! My bro-in-law, nieces and nephews got to meet Benson. We fed the ducks, went to the beach, museum, park, flew kites, ate yummy food and just sat up late talking/laughing! A perfect vacation!!! Thanks so much for coming Bills family!!! Now it's our turn to come up!!!

Anthony's grandmother passed away about a week ago. It was sudden but she lived a wonderful life. We could only afford for him to go to Utah so Benson and I got to stay home. I called my friend Mandy and told her to come down. She said she'd look into it but it was pretty late notice. A day later she called me and said she was coming! She did the whole priceline thing, name your own price and it was accepted! We had a blast!! It was so fun to catch up and for her to see my life down here with Benson. I went up to San Antonio to pick her up so we did the River Walk and the Alamo (got attacked by a vulture, pretty sure it was). We went to the beach, did some shopping, watched conference, and ate yummy food. We're redoing some of our house (more on that later), and so we went to Lowes and she helped with some decorating decisions (thank goodness her mom does framing!) . It was so nice having someone here while Anth was away. Thanks for coming down Mandy!! We can't wait for you to come back!!!

Benson is darling. He looks so happy! I bet he's happy because he has the best mom in the whole world!
