Surprise Visit

First, I just have to say that right now I am sitting in a beach house on the Atlantic Coast. It is beautiful and VERY relaxing. I'll post pictures later (when I'm all caught up.) The kids are in bed, Tim's making dinner for us and our friends (owner's of the beach house) and so I am just sitting with absolutely NOTHING to do - so why not blog? I almost don't even know what to do when I finish this post. I might actually pick up a book and sit and read with no interuptions, no phone calls, nothing. I think I could get used to this.

So for the real reason of this post - We had some exciting visitors come to our house. Our dear friends (well, we really consider them our Arkansas Family) the Smith's came to visit. Karl, Angela (his fiance) Randy and Colleen. We didn't tell the girls they were coming and let them answer the door when they showed up. They were so excited (and surprised.) We only had a few days and we had so much fun that I forgot to take very many pictures. The weather wasn't great but we made do. The girls and Karl played Wii golf. We went and played mini-bowling, went to the mall and spent time at Costco (it's a must for anyone from AR since they don't have it there.) Here's a few pics of our time with them.

Alexa - isn't she just getting more beautiful everyday? I can't believe she's going to be 12! YIKES!

Karl, Angela, McKenna and a little of G'ma Smith

Sorry, I didn't get more pictures. Y'all will just have to come again for a visit. We LOVE having visitors and have plans for a few this summer - we can't wait!
