Luckily my mom was able to come out to help with Elizabeth! She came out from Wednesday, April 3 through Thursday April 11th. It was so nice to have her here so long to help. She did the cooking, cleaning and taking care of the 3 older kids, while I fed and rested with Elizabeth. We did a little shopping and let her get out on her own, so she wouldn’t go crazy, but most of the time she had one of the kids asking her to do stuff with them. Gabe and Molly came down for conference weekend and we did a little birthday celebration for Gabe’s birthday. I made him a cookie cake and we voted on what to put on the cake and “eat it” won! 
It is always fun to have family visiting. We had 10 of us in the house for a few days, but I loved it! There were more people to help with the cooking, cleaning and holding little Lizzy. David’s mom and Grandma were also in town, since Giselle had her baby, Lincoln, just a couple of days after us. We were so glad to have David’s grandma stay with us and do lots of games and laughing. Throughout the week Sherrie would come over to hang out with us at night. It was weird not having her here the whole time, but we were glad to see her when we did. It was one of the first times that we had both of our moms here at the same time. It was great to have 3 grandmas at one time and fun to play games with all of them. Mom headed back to Arkansas at 6:15 on Thursday morning. Luckily my family will be coming back out west in July for Gabe and Molly’s baby blessing. I’m so glad we will have the chance to see them so much! Thanks mom so much for coming and helping with everything! The kids and Biscuit definitely got spoiled with you here! Between the balloon fights, late late snacks and all the yummy meals and outings, they have had some withdrawals this past week at not getting presents or treats from anyone!
