Hey! I'm going to be living with my mom the month of May because we don't get into our house until June first. And I was planning a trip to slc to have my cousin take the girls pictures. Ummm-we should hang out and I really want to go shopping at Ikea again. Do you care if I invite myself over for the night. Lex and Lily would have lots of fun together....-that's me trying to convince you to let me come stay with you for a day!

What a Lucky guy he is to have such an awesome and thoughtful Daughter-in-law! We really want to have you guys over for a B-B-Q or something, but it might not be for a couple of weeks, we really need to get a door on our bathroom before we have guests over! Your posts are always so fun to read Kristin, you are so cute and have a beautiful family.
