Good Times

It's been a wild and crazy couple of weeks here at the Jones household. We came home from our Canada vacation two weeks ago today to find some vagrants had made themselves at home in our house. Alright...it was only my brother, Wade, and one of his boys spending a little time in Utah while his oldest son attended summer sports camps at BYU. And when I say "a little time" I mean three weeks. (His wife is certainly on the road to being canonized for her amazing equanimity.)

Imagine my children's delight at having their cousins around to entertain/pester/idolize for such an extended period of time. Not to mention the fact that it gave them a great excuse to visit Boondocks for the first time!

On the flip side, imagine their chagrin as they watched them drive away, back to their home in the beautiful northwest, earlier today. We have had two sad little girls moping around for the better part of the day. This evening it was declared that no one besides the cousins and uncle Wade was nice to Lindy at all today. Nope, no melodrama here today, Wade.

We will miss the laughter, the adventures, and mostly this:

Don't quote me on this...but brothers can be fun. ;)

(A shout out to my sister who probably said, "...and noodle salad" when she read the title of this post. You totally rock, Jody!)
