My parents have a yearly tradition of spending a week in Salt Lake City with my dad's twin brother and his wife, doing family history work. My aunt and uncle live in Hawaii, so they can never get together enough! My wonderful parents have been skipping out on the family history work for the past two days, so they can help us around the house and help me get my art room ready for classes. But yesterday I had a surprise, my uncle came to help as well! I LOVE seeing these two guys together, it makes my heart so happy! They are fixing our fence in the next two pictures. They also started making a holder/cutter for a large brown paper roll and put in 6 outlets in my art room, (talk about being hooked up!), finished the herb garden, as well as a few other little repairs here and there. They are coming back Saturday to finish some more projects. Man, who can keep up with these guys!?! (you should see when all 4 brothers get together, they could put "Extreme Home Makeover" to shame!) And my beautiful herb garden. I love it more than I could love any other garden because my dad made it just for me!
Their visit has been more helpful than they could imagine. Bill works from 6-6 every day, and we have a huge list of home projects. They are really helping us get caught up with all of that. PLUS it's so nice to visit with family! I miss my aunts and uncles a lot. I have some pretty amazing uncles who can do anything! (my dad is one of four boys, ALL engineers!) And spending time with my mom and Aunt Karen was a real treat too. I have also been blessed with some very loving aunties. I love how big the world is, but it's hard when family is so spread out, you rarely get to see them!
