Arkansas Visit Dec. 4-8

We had the time of our lives when we flew out to see Bruce's oldest sister and her family out in Arkansas. His sister's name is Tamara and her husband's name is Wade... they have a cute, and hyperactive little boy Tommy, and an adorable, tries to be defiant, and who absolutely adores her older brother... Ashley.
Whom i swear is a teenage girl trapped in a 2 year olds body! She is just adorable! They also have one on the way which is exciting! She thinks it's a boy because it's wrestless like Tommy was when she was pregnant with him. What we did was flew into Memphis Tennessee and did a session at the Memphis Tennesse Temple which was amazing! Then we stayed over night in Tunica in the Harrah's hotel which was awesome! We got an increadible deal on it! In the morning we ate at their Paula Deans buffet! Which was sooo good but there was too much good food to eat that we walked away bellies hurting! Then we drove the 4 hours to their house... the other fun thing is that they had guitar hero they were going to give the kids for christmas, but they wanted to test it and make sure it worked and all that so we cracked it out every night after they put the kids to sleep and talked about it in code during the day... haha and who knew but I am pretty much a pro at guitar hero, which is weird because when i've tried it before i totally sucked it up! :S Well it was fun Friday night I went with her to her GNO (girls night out)while men tried to have as awesome of a party as we did, but everyone knows women throw much better parties. I had so much fun at the GNO. It was at Tamara's friends house Leslie, her husband Brett (who to me looked like a younger version of Will Patton) was there and their adorable little son Austin. And her other friend Stephanie was there. They had mexican theme night so we had enchiladas that Leslie made, which were amazing! She also made some delicious Virgin Margaritas. Tamara and i brought Crepes with Neutella, they were delicious i have never had those before either. Saturday Tamara and I hung out going around to some cute little antique shops and lunch with the kids it was a lot of fun!


They also lived just around the corner from Wally World (Walmart) so there were frequent trips there. Sunday we went to church with them and it was really cool they have an awesome ward! We also met Wade's parents... they are really nice people... his dad looks like an older version of Pierce Bronze (to me at least, but apparently he's had that comment a couple times before). Then Monday we got ready to go and made the 3 hour drive to Little Rock to fly home. We were so sad to leave! We had so much fun! We can't wait to go back!
