We love aunt Lisa!

This past week my parents took a well deserved cruise, leaving all there kids behind, of course. However my sister Lisa came to stay with us and really had to put up with a lot from us so I thought I'd give a shout out to her "holla." Here is just a few of the highlights of what she had to endure from the week.
1. On Sunday we are pulling up to our not so traditional looking mormon church and Lisa asked, "what church is this?" To which Bryan replied, " the catholic church." Lisa- "WHAT? I've never been to the catholic church before."
2. Being called "Lisa Marie Presley" about a billion times, again thanks to Bryan.
3. Being woken up to the screaming and crying of little children every morning.
4. Having to watch "The Letter Factory" when I know she wanted to watch the rerun of the presidential debate.
5. Trying to say her morning prayers while be whacked in the head by a two year old. (we won't mention any names)
6. Playing "keep away" with her glasses and a two year old, multiple times.
7. Seeing her brother-in-law parade around in a tu-tu on stage at a church function. (Don't worry the video of that will be posted soon!)
8. And finally, having to witness the truely joyful moments of motherhood as her sister (that's me) tries to get her two year old to eat his dinner, gives up, and allows the child to climb on the counter. Moments later the child falls off the counter bringing down the dinner plate of rice with him all over the floor. All the while, child #2 all of a sudden has poop leaking out her diaper on to the floor and pillow, sitting behind her, and oh yeah, it's all the way up her back and into her hair too. Ahh! Isn't life grand?
Thank you Lisa for putting up with us and for cleaning up the rice! We loved having you and you are welcomed back anytime!

Lisa says she loved every minute of it! At least she had a little excitement around the house! She especially enjoyed Bryans' performance in the, I think it's spelled, tu-tu, Amy! Thanks so much for letting her come!
