Visitors for the Weekend!

This is a Long one! Fair warning!
We blessed Mesa on July 6th so Tyler's Parents, Grandparents, and brother Matt and his wife Jen came down for her blessing and 4th of July! We had a great weekend. (Pictures of Blessing Day are coming soon, I only snaped one but a friend of ours took lots for us, so I will get those this week, Thanks Ben and Jen you made my Day!) The Fam. got here on Wednesday. We did a lot of sitting around and visiting. Shopped a little, and played with the kids. Poor Jen was sick with the flew, so all she saw of Arizona the first 3 days was Aund Ruth's guest bed room. Tyler, Matt, and Jim went golfing in 115 degree heat, that is dedication! They also got to go to a Dimondback game. On the Fourth of July we went to a ward breakfast and then the boys went golfing. That afternoon we went to a friends house for a BBQ! It was great fun. There was like 25 kids (under 8) for they boys to play and swim with and lots of great food and company! We didn't make it to the fire-works because Kaden and Evan were worn out and needed to go to bed. On Saurday we went to Bass Pro shop and then to lunch at Tia Rose. Sunday was a Perfect Day! Tyler blessed our beautiful Mesa in Sacrament Meeting, Thank you to Jim, Grandpa Armstrong, Ben, Adam, and Matt for being a part of it. Tyler gave her a beautiful blessing and the spirt was so strong and peacefull. After church we had a lunch at Ben and Ruths house with family and friends! Mesa was a perfect little girl the whole day. The day was wonderful.

Grandpa Armstrong had the "Touch".
Every time we could get not Mesa to stop crying, grandpa would take her and calm her in seconds. She loved her great grandpa!

The daddy's basket ball game. All their feet were cut up and bleeding from scraping the bottom of the pool. It was so gross when they all climbed out. There was blood dripping all over. Men and their Pride :) they all played through the pain. Good game boys!
