We got visitors!

I think it would be fair to say that April was a busy month at our house!!  It all started when my mom decided to bring Jared here for his birthday surprise.  Then Dana told us she would be flying through to go to Julie's wedding (her sister-in-law) in Canada and she wanted to stay for a couple of days. Lucky!  Then, Kyle's mom decided to come for a short visit to keep kyle company while he had spring break at school and I was working the whole time.  Sounds busy right?  Well, turns out my sweet grandma Gibson wasn't doing very well after her most recent fall and sadly she passed away.  I loved my Grandma very much and wasn't going to miss her funeral and so we quickly started throwing together plans to get me there on time.  Out of the blue Dana called me and asked if she could come early for her visit and fly there with me.  Of course!  We were both so happy we were able to be with our family and to show our love for our Grandma!  Dana stayed an extra couple of days there in Ut, came back for the night, then left early the next morning to Canada.  Kyle's mom came and we had a lot of fun.  She took us for lots of yummy food and even though I was working all week and weekend they were troopers and came to see me both Friday and Saturday and helped entertain Nicholas.  Thank goodness:)  I think it was like the next day or something Dana was back and just 4 days later my Mom and Jared were finally here!! I was so excited!!  I had been waiting to show her my new home for a long time now!  The weather didn't quite cooperate with us and sadly we had a little bad luck.  We drove to Huntington Beach only to find wind and clouds!  WHat? Wish we had seen that one coming. But our guests tried to be positive and make it fun anyway. thanks guys:)  Sunday we walked down to our beach and again, the weather was not ideal.  It was a little chilly.  Then we got all excited and bundled up to walk down and ride the ferris wheel on the pier, only find that all the Jewish people had rented to the whole place out!!! So not cool.  What are the odds? I have never seen that before!  Despite a few let downs I completely loved having my family here with me and only miss them more than ever!  I want us all to be close to each other so badly!  So Broadbents and Gibsons... start coordinating. haha:)  I mean it!  Thanks for coming everyone and I am looking forward to the next ones already!

Kyle gave Julien a hairdo while his mom was at the store.... :)  Her response was, "Do I have to leave it that way now?" haha  He was feeling it in the car and trying to look up and see what was on his head:)
Julien's favorite thing to do at our house was walk around outside and kick the leaves.  Poor kid didn't have any cool toys to play with!
It wasn't warm enough for swimming but at least everyone got to play some smashball.  I guess Jared played too long because he claimed that was how he got really sore!
My mommy loves me. ha
Huntington Beach!  Thank goodness the sun made an appearance.  And for those who are interested, there is a Subway!:)
