Grandpa Dennis & Uncle Clayton Came to Visit

Early in February we received a phone call from Eric's brother asking if he could come visit, we of course said yes, and Clayton and Dennis were here by the next night. It was a fun weekend, and we didn't do a whole lot, but it was good to see them.

Aunt Corrie sent a new book and Elmo pajamas for Hallie. She loves them and asks for her Elmos jammies frequently.

While they were here Hallie got to sleep in our bedroom on her princess couch. She actually did really well and didn't end up in our bed any of the nights.

Here she is "sleeping"

The day after they got here, we took them to Cafe Rio for lunch and then we took Uncle Clayton with us to feed the ducks, one of Hallie's favorite past times.

Hallie is not at all afraid of them.

Eric taught Hallie how to make the ducks fly

After feeding the ducks we went on a mini tour of BYU athletics.

We went to the indoor practice field

And Eric climbed in a training tire

Then we went to Legacy Hall where we looked at all the sports memorabilia and Hallie wanted to see the cougar

While at Legacy Hall we ran into one of Eric's co-workers who took us into the football office where we met Chad Lewis. It was really neat to run into him, because we literally had been talking about him maybe half an hour earlier. Eric actually rehabbed with him when Eric tore his ACL, so it was fun to talk to him for a few minutes. He is such an energetic guy, and so friendly and welcoming. You feel like you've known him forever.

We also saw Bronco Mendenhall walk into his office, but he was just coming in from working out so we didn't go say hi.

The next day Grandpa Dennis bought Hallie a new outfit, which she loves! So thank you again!

Hallie thought it was fun to play "up high, down low" with Grandpa Dennis

That night we went to the Men's Volleyball Game, another thing we love to do as a family.

They even won!

(The up-ref is a coach that used to always come run our high school summer camp)

And Hallie got to hang out with Patrick! I told Patrick that we are taking him to church from now on because Hallie literally sat down with him for probably an hour, and was perfectly content. They are good buddies!

Then to end the night we got to see Cosmo!

Even though we didn't do anything to exciting it was really fun to see them, and it was a great visit!
