My brother Joseph, his wife Shannon,and their two kids Emitt and Savanna dropped by this weekend for a fun filled CRAZY two days. On Sat. we went and had lunch at a brazilian grill called Tacanos, it was so good. At the resturant, the kids, instead of eating with forks and spoons used the table tongs for picking up the meat from the servers...So funny, I think they put more food on the ground than actually in their mouths. One thing that i can't get over is how big they both are, every time i think of them i picture a little toddler and his baby sister, but they are so grown up and mature and both talk to jacob and me (well, after two hard days of sweet talking ourselves into their good graces!)We also went to the toy store where Emitt was very quick to tell me all about the different types of dinosoures and transformers but as soon as we walked into a girl section he would quickly exclaim; "oh aunt breanne i'm not allowed in the girl parts!" then he would scamper off to the nearest GI Joe. Later that night Jacob had some of the guys over and had a game night, Joseph and Emitt also took part, Emitt seemed to appriectiate being part of the "Mens" activity. Meanwhile shannon and savanna and i went to the creamry and got big ice cream sundays with chocolate and sprinkles. Church on Sunday was a pleasant surprise, both of the kids were really good and emitt didn't mind going to nursery with Savanna (our ward doesn't have a primary as it is a young married ward!) The rest of the Sabbath felt like anything but the day of rest...with two kids crawling, jumping, wrestling, eating, laughing, screaming, crying, playing and the occasional resting jacob and i realized that our one bedroom apartment is not ready for kids. We did have a blast playing with them though...Jacob was amazing, a whole lot more fun than i was with them, he wrestled and chased and tickled and played with the kids and by the end of the night i think Savanna was quite smitten with him. It was cute. All in all, it was a super fun weekend and jacob and i were very glad that Joseph and the family could take two days out of their busy lives and spend it with us.

So fun! Emmitt watched the video at least 15 times! lol Savanna wanted a video to, but her pictures are cute! We had so much fun and the kids were so sad to find out that we weren't coming back the next day (monday)! They really had a blast as we did too! We can't wait until Christmas either!
