Family Visit

This past weekend was a VERY busy one for our family. Richard's sisters came in for a visit. One of his sisters came with her fiance from Missouri on Friday. Richard made their favorite family meal, Bacon Spaghetti.  It is pretty weird, but they all love it. Richar grew up pretty darn poor, so it was a meal their mom came up with when the cupboards were bare and that was all they had, noodles, bacon and tomato soup.
His sister from Arizona met us in the Sequoia's National Forest with her two children. Unfortunately there was no cell service at all, so we all drove around looking for each other. It was some sort of scavenger hunt, or so it seemed. We could have our picnic once we found them. We eventually did find them and had our lunch. Then we went to see General Sherman. You have to take a shuttle now to that, Moro Rock and the Giant Trees Museum. Took an extra hour to do all this, so we did not get home until about 8pm. Our plan was to be home at 6 and then have Richard's famous Chicken Wraps. Instead Richard made salads for everyone and took me out to Olive Garden for the anniversary of our first date. It was pretty darn cool that he remembered and I did not!
Sunday was church, chicken wraps and mexican feast day. We only went to sacrament, but Richard went back to church for Ward Council at one. Of course after he made the chicken wraps, I assembled like 6 of them. I never can do that as well as Richard can, but I try. Then we got everything ready for the Mexican Feast for dinner!  We had taco salads, chicken enchiladas, salsa, guacamole, chips, beans and rice. Yummy! We let the kids watch a movie so we could have a time to talk in quiet.
Monday we had a late breakfast and then started prep for our BBQ. We had Richard's ribs, baked beans, potato salad, jello salad, and corn (from Fresno State).  It was really really good!! We also had Hot Dogs for those that wanted them. My sister of course pretended like she does not eat alot, yet she ate like 6 ribs and 2 hot dogs.
She was a complete embarrassment this weekend. She sat at her spot at the dining room table and read or watched her movies on her computer. Richard had asked her before they arrived to not do that and that was all she did. But when her friend came over  for dinner while family was there, she would not shut up talking to her and her children. She was so darn rude!!!!! What is her darn problem?!?! I hate taking her anywhere! She was rude while we all were at the forest also. So now my husband's sisters think Rachel does not like them or is a snob. Of course when food was on the table she pigged out. That was the only time we could get her to move from her spot.

Other then my sister the weekend was great. Well my kids were total pains! Did things that we had told them long time ago not to do!! Like playing hide and go seek in Richard's restaurant equipment. There are black widows in there by now and besides it is dangerous, not to mention they could damage the counter tops. Total pains!! Richard had a talk with them after Sharon left last night, but I am not sure it got through to them, we will have to wait and see.  Plus they totally ignored Riley and acted like she was some sort of party pooper, would not help with anything and threw fits when you asked them. Kaitlyn did her typical show off to everyone and carried Riley every where even after we told her multiple times to put her down. She dropped her on her head on the cement and was told not to pick her up again until Tuesday. Richard was mad.  Riley already had a scrape on her head from falling down at the forest. Poor baby kept getting her head bumped.

How was everyone else's memorial day weekend?
