Uncle Bryan's Visit

It's always fun to have relatives come stay with us and the boys get oodles of attention.  Uncle Bryan coming to visit was no different and the boys LOVED it!

We picked him up Friday afternoon.  He right away went outside to play balls with Brandon.

Brandon thought diving for the ball was pretty fun.



Saturday morning after a leisurely breakfast of pancakes and bacon, we headed out to Don and Sally's to ride Four-Wheeler and pick raspberries. 


In the afternoon, after nap time, we headed out to the lake house with a bunch of friends.

Bumpa got Brandon to swim once, but that was enough for him.  Mostly he played with that blue boat closer to shore where he could walk.

Uncle Bryan came up with a fun game that Brandon didn't enjoy so much, but it calmed Micah down when he started getting fussy.

MICAH LOVES DIRT AND BEING DIRTY!
 Sunday afternoon, since both Cheryl and Bryan were in town and we could all get together, we celebrated Micah's birthday.

He caught on to the whole tearing paper thing very quickly.

It was VERY difficult for Brandon to not jump in and "help" unwrap all the presents and play with them, but he did a very good job.  We did a lot of getting him ready for it and it paid off.


Being one I didn't think he'd care so much what kind of cake he had, so I decided to go with an Angel Food Cake which went much better with all the seasonal raspberries and blueberries.
 Sunday afternoon we relaxed and goofed off.  Uncle Bryan is always good for a fun ride, of course!



He also learned what it means to make a construction road with Brandon.  You fill up the dump truck and he dumps it exactly where you just scooped the dirt up from.  :)



And the final picture of the day...it took Micah about 30 minutes to get this dirty.  It was so bad I had to get the kids undressed outside so my house wouldn't be buried in sand.  Have I mentioned Micah loves dirt?  He's quite proud of himself.


Sadly, Uncle Bryan left early Monday morning.  It was such a fun visit.  We look forward to it happening again some day...
