Brande and Porter's visit

After Addy was born we were so lucky to have my sister and her darling little guy, Porter, come visit for a week.  We wished her whole family could have made it but the girls had just started school in Georgia and so their dad stayed home with them.  What a HUGE help my sister was!!  I so wish we lived close to each other.  It was so nice to have someone for Gabe to play with and Brande made having two kids seem like cake.  She helped me get healthier by showing me how easy it is to make a vegetable and fruit juice every day.  We visited grandma Nada, made yummy food, went to a really fun park with the kiddos and just had a great time hanging out!  Her little Porter is just so stinking cute!  He played well with Gabe and wanted to be a helper.  He would tell me, "I can do it."  He even wanted to help shovel dog messes in the backyard. The kids ran races in the backyard, threw rocks in the river and played baseball in the front yard. WeI just love Brande and her family and soak up every second we can get with them!

Ready to run!

This is everything we put in the juice.
