Did I mention we LOVE visits?!?

Ever so randomly (in a great kind of way) my parents called and said "we are going on a road trip to see all of our children who aren't at home and your house is the first stop." Well that brought a round of cheers at the Bakers. 

Austin had in mind to play some Kinect baseball with Papa.  They had some good victory dances going on their. 

Luke was perfecting his cheating skills with Mama Marie.  She was quite surprised to find out how meanly competitive this little three year old is.  

Here I am keeping my goal of taking pictures with another great woman in my life.  

Then we get a call that our good friends might come and visit and we pounced on that idea.  We love it when Troy and Courtney come to visit (we have kind of made it a tradition).  

The Peyton/Paytons: Kind of a big deal at our house. 

So these two little ladies are pretty special to us for obvious reasons.  I was telling Luke that Troy and Courtney have a Peyton and Nick and Kim's (my brother and sister-in law) baby is Payton too.  Luke pipes in with, "And our Payton is Birdie."  I just laughed that he understood so well the differences.  Never the less these little ladies are adorable and loved at this house! 

 Not to mention that Max is a great hit here too.  He is a pretty fun and energetic kid.  I get a kick out of how he calls Luke and Austin simultaneously.  He is super amazing playing games on the iPad.  Tad wanted to find out if he was super amazing at playing the iPad too...he should be he played it the whole weekend...Earth to Taddy Boy! 

Coles first experience with an Oreo, humm a hit. 

Kinect time. 

Luke will try to get his hands on any baby to hold.  What a sweet boy. Notice Peyton's skinny jeans. Honestly! 

Look at me fulfilling my goal at taking pictures.  Man I could have fixed up a bit though.  This is Courtney and I attempt at hugging.  We have been friends for as long as I remember. Honestly we know things about each other that well endear us for life, but hugging well that is challenging.  I have issues! 

What great visits we are having.  If you feeling an itch to leave town for a road trip I think you know where to stop.  I promise to fill your belly and enjoy your company:)
