Company's coming!

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandma, Auntie and cousins:) They will be here in 5 days! We've cleaned the house, checked to make sure we have enough pillows and blankets, and now we're just waiting...

The boys are looking forward to showing "everything" to their cousins. "Can we take them to Park Day?" But, of course! "Can we have a 'sleep over' with them?" Yes, they will be staying here with us. "How many more days???" Soon, Baby, soon!

This is a much awaited visit. Grandma (my mom) has been here before, but my sister and her girls haven't been to Oregon in a few years, before we moved to Medford. The kids have all grown and we're looking forward to a nice visit. I imagine it won't be too long before the boys won't be as excited to "hang" with their (girl) cousins, and vice versa! Let's enjoy it while we can:)

We're hoping to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday while they're here too. I can't believe she's turning 60! I hope we're able to do something fun & memorable for her while she's here. Maybe we'll make it to the winery with her...

In getting ready for their visit, I'm having a garage sale this weekend. I've spent the last week going through boxes in the garage, organizing the closets and cupboards, and having the boys clean their rooms. I can't believe how much they've grown since last summer! We have tons of toys and clothes we are happy to part with. Oh, the freedom!

We've also been cleaning up our yard and finalizing our garden. We've got veggies popping up all over the place. I'm sure Charlie thinks I have "issues" when it comes to our gardens. I went to Home Depot yesterday to pick up a part (for the sprinklers) for him and warned him when I was leaving that "I give no guarantees that I'll come out with just what's on my list." I meant what I said:) I came home with 5 new plants for my garden. This morning I went to Farmer's Market for veggies and came home with another tomato plant. I already have 16 in the ground!! But I didn't have this particular variety and I couldn't pass it up for $2! Ok, maybe I do have issues!
