Our greatest friends, the Beechers, came and spent almost one whole week with us and we had so much fun. They got in late Thursday night and then, sadly, had to depart this morning. We're in tears and so confused we don't know what to do without them. But, we are so grateful that they took the time and effort to come all the way down to AZ to see and stay with us.
What did we do while they were here, not much more than hanging out and good conversation...but here are a few things...
Christine laid out in the sun and the kids went swimming. YES, they did. It was cold, but they had so much fun! The girls played barbies the boys played video games and Colin and Eryn just about played everything. The kids got along the whole time...I don't think I heard or witnessed one single fight. I was amazed. Christine and I did some shopping and took the girls with us one day. Christine and I met up with some very special friends for breakfast at The Good Egg. It was fun to visit with Jenny and Shawna, a little Texas reunion, hopefull we've convinced Christine to move home to AZ so we can all get together more often. Jens and Chris rode a 100 miler in Tucson and then rode every where else here! They got some good miles in and were very pleased with themselves and we're all very proud of them too. We all watched movies together and played at the park and ate good food, and ate and ate and ate.
Thanks again Beechers! We had the best week! Come ANYTIME! Cassie, thanks for being such a great big sister to our girls, an awesome babysitter for all the kids and just an absolute pleasure to have around!! Craig, thanks for being such a great best friend to Briggs. Colin, thanks for loving us all and for making us smile. Chris and Christine, thanks for your friendship and for just being soo easy to hang around and have fun with. (Christine, thanks for listening to me!!!) We love you all! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe trip home!

You guys look like such good friends and it looks like you had so much fun. They are such a cute family. You look so good pregnant.
Looks like you guys had a great time. I can't believe the kids went swimming, but I guess that just something all kids do as part of growing up. It was great seeing you guys on Friday. Take care!
