Aunt Jonny Here!

This past weekend, my sister-in-law Janvier (Jonny) came up to VA to visit us! She's so busy in Miami, working in the fashion industry, finishing her last classes to graduate from BYU and the most time consuming job of all--keeping my brother Grant happy. Anyways, she dropped her busy busy life in Miami to come up North and visit her sister and niece and nephew.

While she was here, we did local fun stuff around NoVa. She watched Ash's dance classes, went to Austin's football/Ash's soccer games. We even went to their elementary and prek for parties.

This evening in particular we went to Ash's Haymarket Baptist Preschool and I told Jonny I always win cakewalks and I love winning cakewalks. So the first time around, (I refrained from pushing little kids out of the way to step on the beloved winning square). But the first game around, Ashley won! A beautiful little homemade cake. Then, Austin won a few games later. Did I tell you I love winning cakewalks? And when your kids win something, it's better than if you win something yourself. But that night, it was Jonny and I that dug into the cake.

We took a quick juant into Home Goods where Ash fell in love with this big stuffed dog in which she wasn't going to part with. So this pic is by the check out (we didn't buy the dog) but it was a fight to get it away. Jonny bought us the most adorable Christmas ornaments here! We love them. Thanks Jonny cakes.

Jonny made pancakes for us (Ash helped with eggs a few mornings),

I had to take this picture---I don't know if you can tell in the card, but we were making Grandma Toler a Happy Birthday card (Oct 30) and Ashley signed her own name! It's not perfect, but she did it! Good job Ash.

Who is this burley man? We miss you honey!!! 43 more days!!!!!
