Casey & Kimber came to town!

We always love when Casey and Kimber come for a visit.  They just step right in and become part of the family.  The kids adore them... we adore them... so it just works:)  

Hopefully we didn't bore them to death with our daily routine.  Cody had blocked off a few days of school the following week so we could go out and do awesome fun things together.  We were thrilled we got to see them a whole week earlier even though our activities consisted of just the day to day stuff.  They're pretty darn awesome though and it's just nice having them around:)

So pretty much...
we watched a whole lot of Olympics
played with Jaden
adored Brielle
pulled out the kiddie pool before a slight downpour
played with Jaden some more
hit up the Goodwill (a C&K favorite)
grilled a feast
visited Uncle Danny & Aunt Monique
watched more Olympics
guys did their mandatory guys night and basketball night
ate a million treats
etc.

and a few pictures caught along the way...

Jaden and his massive mane being our little super hero.

newest addition to their super awesome backyard (a.k.a. boys retreat):
check it out (double decker tree house tower thing)!  Jaden loved it!

playing with their chickens
 

Kimber came up with a great way to keep Jaden occupied.
She froze a bunch of his toys and a few treats in a huge block of ice!
The idea was to have Jaden chizzle away to find his little treasures.
He stayed interested for a little while... then begged for everyone else to help him:)
Such a fun idea!

Had such a fun visit and then it was time to say goodbye. So glad we got to see them before their big adventure in Nebraska for dental school!
