Matthews parents came up to visit us this weekend and it was so much fun. I love seeing and visiting with them, especially since we have not seen them since last June during the family reunion. Speaking of which, wow…I married into a LOT of family, but that’s a typical Utah Mormon occurrence I suppose. Even though it took me a lot of getting used to and I still have to “take breaks,” I would not change it for the world. I love them all! So Brooke and Dale came in on Friday around 7 and we had some yummy tacos for dinner. Then we played Phase 10, which is kind of our tradition. Brooke calls me the Phase 10 queen because when Matthew and I were dating and newly married, I never lost a game. Then we woke up early on Saturday and went to a beautiful endowment session in the Rexburg, Idaho Temple. It was Brooke and Dale’s first time in the Rexburg Temple and we had a great time. Matthew and I were the witness couple (which is our favorite because we get to get up and move more than usual). Matthew and I had to go to primary practice because we had the primary program on Sunday. We teach the Sunbeams class (3 and 4 year olds) and it is so much fun. Brooke and Dale watched the BYU football game…like I didn’t see that coming. When Matthew and I got home, we finished watching the game with them…again, I am not surprised. I mean this is the family that made Matthew and I get married at 9am so they could go to a BYU game that afternoon! (Love you guys!) We went bowling and Dale and I tied the first game. I got 4 strikes in a row (is this real life?). Then Matthew blew everyone away and won the second game, which is interesting because he bombed the first game. Love you sweetie. We then went all out on dinner (because his parents were paying) and went to Dairy Queen. OH YEAH! We decided to end the night with a Halloween-y movie and watched Sleepy Hollow (the one with Johnny Depp of course). The primary program was so much fun and all the kids were so excited after they did their parts. Our kids, I have to say are for sure the cutest ones. They are the perfect age for cuteness when they get in front of a mic and people at the same time. This was my first primary program that I was in ever and so I had a great time too. Matthew and I sat in the very front with our little kids in those tiny chairs…it was great. Brooke and Dale left around 1:30 after we had a lunch/dinner. We were sad to see them so, but we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and seeing all the family again.
