Bless your heart! You get the BEST SISTER/IN-LAW AWARD EVER!!! Good luck with the food stains...
ps you're not fooling me. i know you're having a wonderful time! all those kids are lucky.
I think your brother should hire you a maid to do all those things as a thank you! You need to add to your list..spend some quiet time alone, take a bubble bath, pamper yourself. You're a great lady!
I forgot to mention how much we missed you guys at the fireworks last night. We had fun with your parents and Tim and Whitney. Next year you better be there for sure!
We're getting our room paid for and reserved ASAP. Never again will we miss our 4th of July in Idaho Falls. It is one of our most favorite days. We missed you too!
