We were so glad that my sister Kimberly decided to spend her Spring Break in Walla Walla with us. So maybe a spring break with a family of four isn't your idea of a PARTY, but I think we had fun. Nolan had a 50 hour work week ahead of him with one overnight trip, so she helped me out a ton. She really helped me clean my apartment top to bottom, (including the mass amount of raisins Thomas stashed in his bed!)
cook some yummy food, and catch up on all my scrapbooks, but it wasn't just all work. Amidst the rainy weekend weather, we shopped around downtown, and ate at our favorite pizzeria, went to a fun little Thai place, 
saw some chocolate Easter Basket being made at a candy shop downtown, visited a few parks, watched a lot of our favorite movies, and played a ton of games. OH and we can't forget our photo shoot (see previous post.) We're glad she maneuvered her work schedule to spend a week here, and made it home safely amidst the bad road conditions. She's going off to BYU next fall so we need to soak up as much time with her that we can.
Thomas was so excited to see these suckers, and almost made it out of the store without paying.
Grace got this cute quilt from her Great Grandma Heaps and Great Aunt Mae. We love it!Thanks KIM we miss you!

cute pictures! I love Gracie's little baby legs, so cute
Sisters are the best! Who else would help you clean your house for Spring Break and be happy doing it. I am glad you guys had such a great visit. You guys look so much alike I had to do a double take on your photo shoot pics. The judges are going to have a rough time when it comes to the eliminations since you are both such great contenders. Good luck!
Sounds fun! Seems like you've been able to see family a lot lately--lucky! And I LOOOVE Grace's leggings. SO cute!
How fun!! Kim is so old now, I can't believe she is off to college next year. (Idaho, or Utah?) I am so jealous of all the green grass, it is still brown here.
You guys did a lot of stuff! Now I'm worried you're gonna be bored here. I love your little blip on the bottom about visiting :) I'll work on it, but after yesterday's car ride, I'm not too sure. I love the picture of Nolan in the baby swing and Thomas on the big one :) funny stuff. And nice photo shoot. You guys are definately improving from last season.
I want a little sister! You always know how to have a good time. Little Grace & Thomas are getting so big. And I wish I could make a stop in Walla Walla!
Good times! I love Grace's little leg warmers! :)
So many comments. I wish I could have gone and been a sister. BUT EASTER's OVER! The kids look pretty dang cute. Love it all, and maybe I will come over and get a post of my own.
Don't even worry Ashley, I had a blast!! Do you believe it now that everyone else says it sounds fun??? and even if it hadn't been fun, it would've been worth it just to get a post all about me!! haha.. I miss you guys too. sorry I accidentally took your wallet and one of Thomas' socks... :)
I am so glad that your sister was able to come and stay and help you out around the house. I think the swing picture of Nolan on the little swing and Thomas on the big swing is one of my favorite! Gracie is going so fast it seems like you just had her last month.
P.S. Love the model pictures look like you guys had tons of fun!
Love the pictures! Our computer has been down and out for over a week and I have missed seeing what you are up to! I'm glad Kimberly got to come up! You are always so fun to be around. Looks like you have done tons of fun things. Love the model pics. A natural for sure!
I love Gracie's baby leggings! They are so cute! Visitors are the best when you live away from home. Glad that you had a fun visit with your sister, and I think families of four are pretty dang fun!
sisters are so wonderful! looks like you had a fun time!
Kimberly has grown up and is just cute as can be! I can't believe she's going off to college already!I am glad you guys had a fun time together. There's no one in the world like our sisters...love them!
oh, that is soo fun. I love little Grace's leg warmers. . . And I see definite improvement girls. I was very moved by your intensity, Ashley. And Kim's hands just mesmerized me. . . amazing. . .
Great job trying to solicit visitors.(o: It looks like you guys had a blast. Next time (who knows when?) we're up there we will come and visit for sure!
So awesome. I think I'm going to create an Aunt's Alliance...I'm not sure what we'll do yet, but it's going to be awesome. Trust me.
Too much fun. HOW COME YOU DIDN'T SHOW ME THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY??? I sure hope to get there soon. I double vote for sisters!!!
Forgot to say - I love the picture of Nolan and Thomas on the swing. That should be in a "You are the best dad book" somewhere.
What a fun visit. I love sisters. It is so nice just to have a little family around and for them to see where you live so they can relate more. Good for you!
