Becky's visit continued...
We had such a fun time with Becky, wish we would have had more time to visit with her and her sweet kids. Her twins have grown up so much, they were just babies when we saw them last. They are so big, and talking so much. They look and sound like little Carter's. I loved getting to hang out with Taylor. It was always a bit of a fight who got to be partners with Taylor because he was always so much fun. lol. He could be a handful, Ben usually was his partner and they always had a great time. I think the first thing out of Taylor's mouth was always "Junie, we go to your house." We loved having the boys come and play, and having field trip Mondays. I miss Carter so much. He has always been one of my very good friends and always up for anything that you want to do. He went with me to all my dog practices and then we got a cold drink or hot chocolate after. He kept his dogs at my house since he couldn't have one live at his house. Maverick and Randsom have always been his. While we were at Grandma Becky's house the twins quickly announced that Stetson was their dog. Becky is my best friend and I miss her so much. Talking on the phone once a week just isn't the same. It was funny growing up, we hated each other. We fought about everything, and my Dad always told us that we would be good friends when we were older. I'm so happy that she braved Space A, and came for a visit. I wanted to take Dylan out for a visit, but with him getting sick so often, just can't take him out of the country yet. Hopefully when he's older he'll be tougher. We had a great time visiting with Becky and Mom, long into the night. I hope we get to see her again soon.

We got a new water park just a few blocks away from our house. We were so excited watching them build it this winter and couldn't wait to get our pass for the summer. The inside has swimming lanes and another pool that's heated and open all year. The outside is so much fun, with so much to do for little kids. We love the water slides and lazy river. Dylan loves being able to crawl through the water. We have to watch him so close because he doesn't stop when it gets deep, just keeps on crawling. He is such a water baby.  We had so much fun playing with Becky's kids while they were visiting that we brought the big boys to our house. It was just like old times, staying up late playing video games. Sad to say that both Carter and Taylor beat me. Favorite moment was when the computer stole half of Taylor's coins. He got so mad and stood up and kept telling himself to calm down, that he's getting mad, calm down. That's one of our favorite sayings now. We had such a fun time having them stay with us for a few days. We got to go to the water park both days, and totally loved it. Ben worked with Taylor on swimming and Taylor was doing really well on his own by the second day. We loved having those boys and can't wait for them to live back in the states again. Hope that they live close by, but almost anywhere would be easier to visit them then in Japan. Thanks for visiting with us.
