come and knock on my door....

Well, we've been the lucky recipients of some pretty awesome visitors the past month...

FIRST we had MOM & DAD


who, yet again, worked hard while they were here


mom got the job of getting up with Lucy during the night when we went on the cruise. one night she got up to get Lucy a bottle and Luke had climbed out of his crib!! (first time) He was in the livingroom and when he saw grandma - he ran to her saying "i'm scared!! i'm scared! A MONSTER!" my mom could hear a loud snore coming from the direction Luke was pointing. Sure enough they discovered the snoring grandpa monster. I guess it was loud and scary enough to teach Luke his new escape trick.

then our Okie friends - the RICHINS!!!

Happy Birthday Jansen!! These guys drove a long way to see us and we were so glad they did.

Then, THE HARRIS FAMILY EXTRAORDINAIRE!!

they are a pretty excitable bunch...




and so nice - look at these girls. there couldn't be more polite, kind, wonderful girls in all the world. I love this whole family and we had so much fun with them - it was sad to see them go.


(this is my sister Jenny's family. Her blog is hilarious - check it out - belligerentblogging . We were just one stop on their 3 week trip across country)

Next up: Cousin MESHELLE and her kids LILY & KAT...



I haven't seen her in at least 6 years and it was so fun to catch up. She is the kind of person that is so warm and comfortable that it doesn't seem like any time at all. She even made us homemade granola in the short time she was here.

these are her darling daughters that Luke L-O-V-E-D! He is still asking for them.




It was great to see everyone! We would like to petition all persons everywhere who have ever loved us or who currently love us to please come on out to memphis.

Popular, you're so popular. How fun for you guys to have so many visitors. Those Harris people DO look excited. Is Luke relieved that the scary monster is gone? Guess what - Charlie has that green bicycle shirt, too. We're so the same mom.

Hey we're on your blog. I didn't realize so many other people visited you. They must have heard about the yummy food and good times at the Hale home.
We had a total blast at your house. Thanks for putting up with putting us up.

So many visitors! Amy and I want to join in on all the fun. I'm not sure if you've talked to her or not, but we really want to stop by in August. I really want to meet your sweet little Lucy. So much luck to you in your upcoming triathlon!

i want to come!!! i would love to see you!!! you look like you have so much fun! oh how i miss the ol' mish sometimes!

Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
