home for the weekend :)

I went home last weekend to watch the cutest kids ever! It is the best and easiest job! The kids are absolutely perfect in every way and they love to do the same things I love to do like watch Disney Channel and listen to Hannah Montana soundtracks. Awesome! We watched the Hannah Montana Movie and the Wizards of Waverly Place Movie...well I better not say how many times. That could be embarrassing!

Did I mention that they are the cutest, nicest, funniest, smartest kids ever? Aftin (four years old) has known how to use my camera for a couple years now and she loves to use my whole battery taking pictures of anything and everything. Here are some of her cute shots.
The only hard part of my job was Roscoe. And it wasn't even that hard because the kids were in charge of feeding him and letting him out. So I guess it wasn't that hard after all. :)
On Friday Aftin and I went to lunch at Cafe Rumba with my sister Jessica. It was so fun to see her and talk to her for awhile. It has been a long time since we have been able to do that. I used to work at Cafe Rumba and while I was talking to my friends there Aftin walked off with her cup (remember that she is only 4 and kind of short) and went over to the drink machine and reached as high as she could and filled her cup with I think four different kinds of drinks. I was worried that it would be gross so I tasted it and it was actually really good. I think she goes there on a weekly basis so I guess she is practically a professional drink mixer with the Cafe Rumba drink machine. Haha.

I made spaghetti for dinner on Friday night and the kids were so nice. They all said thank you for dinner and I just thought that was so cute! Gavin was slurping a piece of spaghetti and somehow it went straight up his nose and made him look like he had a bloody nose. Unfortunately Aftin had worn out my battery so I couldn't get a picture but here is another picture of Gavin. He is wearing his great aunt's clip-on earings. What a cutie!
They are so smart too! Gavin and Aftin love trains and build really cool tracks. Gavin just looked at a picture of this track and built in in just a few minutes. I was way impressed!
Romney and Tatum are so grown up! Romney just started high school and she is already getting involved in so many things! She is such an awesome big sister and she helps with everything! Tatum had to give a talk in Primary on Sunday and her and Romney sat down on Saturday and wrote the whole thing all by themselves. I'm not sure why I even had to be there!

I love these kids so much and I'm so glad I was able to go spend a weekend with them! It was so great to be home for just a few days. I even got to see all of my friends at church for Tyler Francis' farewell (one of the best talks I've ever heard!) and I got to have Sunday dinner with my family and I got to play with my favorite kids in the whole world! What a great way to wrap up the summer!
