We welcomed our Grammie, papa and dear aunt Shirley back into our lives this week and had the best time with them in our home! It is so nice to be back with these loved ones that we have missed dearly while we’ve been away. Monday we drove down to the beach and showed them around our favorite playa Azul. We picked Rease up from school right across the street and she joined us for a bit. That night we hosted Noche de Hogar for our branch and had a great lesson, discussion and good food. It was so fun to have them all at our house together!
We spent lots of time relaxing, reading, and hanging out in the pool this week. It’s definitely warming up around the island and summer has arrived. The pool provides a great break from the heat.
Rhen has a dance/party coming up to go along with her graduation from middle school so we took her dress shopping for both her big events. She was so cute trying things on and we loved spending the day with her!
One day we drove the crew up to old San Juan and spent some time driving and walking around near the old fort. It’s so gorgeous up there especially right around sunset and is one of our most favorite spots on the island to take people to. It’s such a unique spot with so many different views. We had a fun night with them there!

And we drove them by the temple on the way home and took a short tour around the grounds of it. It was a beautiful night to be out and about!
We had such a fun week with these three and we’re just so excited to have them here for a few days with us!
At school Rhen is in full graduation prep. They get to wear their class shirts every Monday and Thursday to school in place of their regular uniforms. It’s a fun break for them from the norm! This week they took class pictures together with their shirts on. These cute friends of hers have been such a blessing to her this year! They’re a fun, good group of kids that have loved and welcomed her from day one. I’m so grateful to them for their love for my girl!
After Jeanie, Alma and aunt Shirley left we had some friends from Herriman fly in for a few days and spend with us! The Slimaks live right across the street from us in Utah and our kids were so excited to see their old friends again! We spent lots of time in the pool in between them going out for different excursions during the day. It’s always so fun to see people we haven’t seen for a long time.

We’ve also been watching lots of basketball lately as it’s playoff season for the NBA. We may or may not stay up super late to watch the warriors play…
In between visitors we’ve been trying to get some projects done around the house as well. This weekend we got a load of topsoil and sod and worked together to get that all laid out in the lower level of the yard. It went fast with all eight of us working together and it’s going to be so nice to have a grassy area to play! We got rained on just a bit and took some breaks, but then just embraced the wet and took it all in!
For Mother’s Day today I was spoiled by Josh and the kids. I got lots of cards, notes, foot rubs and most of all lots of love from each of them! I couldn’t be more happy to be a mother. My kids are the best parts of me and I’m so grateful to be able to have them in my life. Love them with my whole heart!
