MORE visitors!!!

We have such a wonderful family! We have been so blessed to have so many visitors since we have been living away from Utah! This past week/weekend (August 7th-10th) Justin's family (minus Mckell, who had school! BOOO! We missed you tons and tons Kell!!!) came to visit us after spending the week in South Carolina together to spend some time where Curtis served his mission. It was so much fun!!! We only wish they could have stayed longer!

Keaton and Curtis reading scriptures before bedtime. Keaton LOVED being with/playing with Curtis! They were such great buddies and it was so fun to see them both together again after Curtis being away for the past 2 years!

At The Cheesecake Factory. YUM!

And, the yummiest part- the cheesecake!!!

 We LOVE our family!!!

While Justin was away...

My mom and grandma came to play!

Justin's brother, Elder Curtis Norman, came home from his mission on July 25th and we all really wanted to be there! But, since I couldn't fly home because of being pregnant Justin went home by himself instead and my mom and grandma came out to spend some time with me and Keaton! (Pictures from Justin's trip hopefully coming soon!)

My mom and grandma were here from late on Tuesday, July 23rd till Monday, July 29th. The time flew by and Keaton and I ate up every second we had with Grandma Patsy and Grandma Melanie! I wasn't very good about taking pictures everyday, but on the day we went on a quick trip to Charlottesville, VA (about 4 hours from where we live in Maryland) to visit Sister Roosendaal- I am happy to say that I took lots of fun pictures! It was the perfect summer day- not too hot and humid- and we enjoyed our lunch together while chatting outside. It was so much fun to see Macy! She is doing such a great job on her mission and we are so proud of her and how much she is learning and growing in the gospel!

Sister Roosendaal and her super sweet companion, Sister Walker!

Keaton showing me his "peace" sign. Ha, ha!

The "go-to" place in Charlottesville that Macy found for us to all go to lunch at. Christian's Pizza- it was delicious!

Keaton loving the chalk wall by where we had lunch. :) (In case you are wondering- that face he is making is his "happy face!" Ha, ha!)

Yep, we love Charlottesville!

We had Panera Bread later that night for dinner and Keaton ate practically my ENTIRE bowl of salad! How many two year old kids do you know that love salad?!

Oh, and before we left town we picked up a box of Cheerwine! The drink of choice in Charlottesville that Macy introduced us to during lunch! YUM!

Our visit to Nauvoo, Illinois.

We stayed in Keokuk, Illinois (on our way to Maryland) enable to visit Nauvoo from May 24th- 28th. It was a great weekend trip and we had such a wonderful time as a family swimming and seeing all the amazing sites.

Saturday, May 25th-

Us with Sister Petricek- who we met and found out that she served with Curtis in South Carolina! So, of course we had to get a picture together to send to Elder Norman. :)

Monday, May 27th-

Keaton loving (that is an understatement!) helping daddy drive for a minute.

Finding family names at the 70's Hall- Hunsaker.

Mmmm... a super yummy treat from the Nauvoo Fudge Factory. A sprinkle and white chocolate covered pretzel!
