Welcome Uncle Matt

Last weekend my brother Matt aka Buff and his girlfriend Lindsay were in Chicago visiting. Alex has met Lindsay before but this was our first time meeting her, and also their first time meeting Addelyn. And we had plenty of activities planned for their visit!
On Saturday they brought over the kids birthday presents which of course meant we had to build a train track with Zach. I think Buff and Lindsay learned just how intense train track building can be. :) We then decided to take the boys out for a little sledding for Zach and snowboarding for Alex. This was Zachs first time sledding on a big hill and Alexs first time snowboarding. And they had a blast!! Zach had no problem laying on the sled and flying down the hill and loves every moment of it. As for Alex he was doing amazing!!! He made it all the way down the hill quite a few times and by Sunday he was turning and jumping off little hills made in the snow. Pro snowboarder???? Maybe?? And the smile on his face was priceless!! He was so excited everytime we clapped or told him he was awesome.




Saturday night we had some friends and their kids over for a big playdate/adult dinner which was also a huge success. The adults ate and had a couple drinks while the kids ran around and destroyed my house. :) In a good way!
On Sunday we met up with my brother and Lindsay again along with Aaron and Sarah and Elle for some swimming. I love having kids that love water. Alex learned to swim over the summer ( go me I taught him myself) and wanted to show everyone and Zach has no fear and loves the water. He is the only 3 year old I know that loves to jump into the water and go under without freaking out. Future swimmer???? Maybe??? After a quick lunch it was time for a little more sledding, and a early night for us all.
Overall it was a very busy but very fun weekend and hopefully Matt and Lindsay can visit again soon. Or maybe we should send the boys to them.... they do get a lot of snow in Jackson Hole!
