Kamrowskis & Morgans come to town..

I was so thankful and excited when I heard that Mr. Streetman was going to fly Carrie and her boys all this way down south to see us!!! While we missed Craig, we were so happy they could come and stay for a while and get to meet Sidney before she went off to Kindergarten. Because she was originally going to drive, we had a plan for her to drive through San Antonio, pick up Jillian and her girls and then trek on the rest of the 4 hours. But good for Carrie, not so good for Jillian, her dad knew that wouldn't be as fun or relaxing, so he flew her on a direct flight from DFW and we picked her up just 10 minutes from our house. So much easier and quicker and her boys did wonderful. Jillian then had to drive. Rick was nice enough to come here and drop her off, they stayed at her in laws a night then came over and bunked with us!

We had a full house let me tell you!! 3 moms, 8 kids and 1 Daddy. We felt like we got a glimpse of what being Sister Wives might be like. Though we didn't go many places, I don't need to explain why do I, on the beach we got lots of stares!

We had a 6 year old Emmaline, 4 yr Georgia, 3 yr Charlotte, 2 yr Claire, 2 yr Jackson, 2 yr Hayes, 9 month Chase and 2 month old Sidney. Can you imagine we heard lots more noise than we heard quiet for the whole long weekend! HA! But it really was a blast and I am so thankful they came.
We shacked Carrie and Jackson in the downstairs guest room. Chase got to sleep in a pack n play in the hall bathroom (I know..but he did great!!). Hayes was in his room. Emmaline, Georgia and Charlotte slept in Georgia's room on beds and palettes. And Jillian and Claire slept in Emmaline's room. I really think it worked out pretty good considering and the stairs weren't a problem for the most part. We had plenty of little mommas to help with the babies, we stayed up way too late every night watching u-tube, chatting and playing games. We made some fun margaritas, had a crawfish boil, swam a little, had a picnic, did bubbles and bikes and even had sprinkler fun! We also made a trip to the beach, set up the tent and spent a good 4 hours there. There was lots of crying, but finally everyone had so much fun and the only ones that got burned were me and Jillian! Success!!
I hope that Carrie and Jillian felt like it was worth the trip to see us. We loved getting to share our little piece of Texas with you and hope next time you come you bring your men! We can even send the boys on a nice fishing trip...!
