More Visitors

So, we had my family here last weekend for Jaxson's birthday. That's 3 sets of visitors in 2 weeks! Aren't we lucky? They came late Friday night, so they would be here in plenty of time to help with chores on Saturday morning.

We had told my dad that we would be branding and castrating the new calves on Saturday morning, but apparently he didn't tell my brothers that. (Probably so they wouldn't have a chance to back out).

These pictures don't do them justice. It was hilarious to see my brothers try to do this...something they've never done before, and probably won't ever do again. I did get a couple short clips on my video camera that are pretty funny.

After they were done with the calves we played a little on the swing set at my in-laws. Of course my brothers had to do pull-ups. It was so cold and incredibly windy that day, we didn't end up spending that much time outside.
We did get some Wii in. Wes and Luke played that blasted tanks game...they got farther than ever before...I just wish they would hurry up and beat it already. Lots of dodgeball was played, as that is our favorite game. I can actually hold my own playing dodgeball!

Jaxson's birthday cake...its an oreo ice cream cake that Wes made. It was delicious! Jaxson loves ice cream, so he was in heaven. Hallie helped him blow out the candles. She cannot wait until it is her birthday.

Opening the blanket his Nana made for him. He loves this blanket already!

This birthday boy loves to be upside down like his sister!

My Dad was teaching Jaxson about music.

Meadow took this picture of our family on Sunday...the nightshot was accidently on, that's why the colors are funky. How many husbands can say that they can hold their whole family? Mine can!
