Double the Leavitt's, Double the FUN!

This weekend we had a special treat...Austin and Cody with their four beautiful girls came to stay for a couple of days. Cody's Grandpa Okuda had his retirement party on Friday, so they came Friday night and left on Sunday morning. We all had a great time and it was so nice to just have some noise in the house again. I talked Austin into going to my TRI training class on Saturday morning. I had asked Kandace that if the girls woke up to make "Mickey Mouse" wafffels for the girls, something that Courtney normally does for us. When we walked in from our workout, we could smell WAFFLES!
So I have to tell the funniest story. Everyone is eating waffles and visiting. And I hear "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch....." I look over and Elynn is cutting up her Mickey Mouse waffle and everytime she cuts his ears, eyes, nose, she is saying "OUCH". Yes, we all started laughing. I so miss little kids around the house. They always make you laugh!
After Kandace had finished making the kids waffles, she stole Macee. Macee is the best baby ever. She loves everyone and is so easy going. It was just so awesome to have these girls around. Saturday durung the day, Austin and Cody and the girls went to Coalsville to visit Cody's 91 year old Grandma. His parents and siblings all met there to. There was alot of snow up north and the girls had a blast playing in the snow. (Austin, get your pictures posted on your blog!) We planned for a dinner together after they were done. We had Casey and Tineke and Grandma and Grandpa Haupt come too for dinner.
While we were waiting for Austin and Cody to arrive, Steve and Casey showed Grandpa how to go online and watch movies on Netflex. they made him do everything on his own. Now Grandpa is ready to cut loose, and watch movies.
When the girls arrived, they were all wet and cold from playing in the snow. I suggested putting them all in the tub before we ate so they could get warm. So I ran the jacuzzi and they were so happy to have bubbles and warm!
Kennedy even put on goggles to swim under water.
They had way too much fun blowing bubbles. Cute Leah had a wash cloth and cleaned up their mess as they made it. She is a good helper.
Kandace and Austin had fun snapping shots of everyone all night. Here I am smiling for Kandace.

And Kandace and Austin took pictures of each other taking pictures. We just had a nice night at home and hanging out. I made pulled pork. Cameron's recipe. I was nervoust to make it, since Cameron is a PRO, and I had alot to live up to. All in all, everything was yummy. We are enjoying the leftovers today! Nice!
I did get to take a few pictures, here is Kandace and cute Macee.
Grandma Haupt and Macee. Macee loved snuggling with Grandma.
After dinner the girls made us cookies. I had promised Courtney that we would make cookies with the girls. She always does this with them when they come. So we did our best to keep that tradition going. Steve actually took over the cooking with the girls. Elynn was the first to dive in, she knew that she was going to make cookies, and all through dinner asked if it was time to make cookies yet?

Elynn is ready to go...she washed her hands and put on her apron before making cookies!
All three girls going to town rolling cookie dough balls. After the first batch went in the oven Steve showed them his favorite thing to do with cookie dough....eat it. Elynn loved that idea! You should have seen her cheek full of cookie dough.
We are soo glad that Austin Cody and their cute girls came to entertain us and have fun for the weekend. We hope they come back again soon!!!
