Grandma (Burs) & Grandpa (Pepe) Suhler Come to Town

A few weekends ago my parents came to town for a visit. We had a great time, as usual. Here are some picture highlights...

A little slide fun at our favorite local park:



New stool/chair for Abby custom made by Grandpa:

We took a trip to the Secret Garden (where Siegfried & Roy house their white tigers) and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage. Abby was SO enthralled with the dolphins.










The Mirage also has a huge fish tank in their front lobby, Abby loves fish!

Also while my parents were here they got the chance to visit with some old friends, the Houses. They have known the Houses since our days of living in California. They drove in for a few days and we all had a great time catching-up (it had been 26 years since I had seen them).


Along with getting plenty of pool time in my dad was also able to build some shelves in the nursery.

Next time we see my parents we will be a family of 4 instead of 3.

Aunt Remy and Juno's Visit

Last weekend Remy and her new dog Juno came to visit us. It was GREAT to see them! She drove in on Saturday and on Saturday night we headed out to dinner at the Yard House. Jim has been wanting to try this restaurant because they have over 150 beers on tap. Unfortunately, it was not the best dinning experience for Jim. He asked for a sample of a beer and then he tried the rest of the night to figure out what sample they gave him...when he asked for a full size of the sample they brought him out a completely different beer. It was very frustrating for him because he truly enjoyed the sample. Remy and I enjoyed our meals at least.

On Sunday morning Aunt Remy gave Abby her very 1st dental exam. She did great and Abby's teeth look good. Abby has the best dentist EVER!

After the dental exam Remy, Juno, Abby, and I headed to the park. Abby really loves slides!





The rest of Sunday was spent hanging out at the pool; which has quickly become our favorite Sunday activity.



The dogs also enjoyed a lazy day by the pool...

We did have some weather blow in...our first rain of the summer...


Sunday evening we relaxed in front of a movie, Monster's Inc.


Monday morning Remy and Juno headed back home. We were sad to see her go but we are very excited to see Remy and Joe in a few weeks in Hawaii.
