Uncle Chong, Aunt Clarysa and Simon

Yeah for more visitors! Chong and Clarysa recently came up for the weekend with their new dog, Simon. It was the our first time meeting Simon and the kids and the dog went crazy with excitement. We thought the excitement would mellow out by the end of the weekend but nope. The kids wouldn't leave him alone and Simon loved following the kids around. We started the weekend watching Paul's soccer game. It was fun to see Paul perform for his Uncle and Aunt. He even scored a goal! Simon came too and the kids took turns holding the leash. They wore Simon out.

Zoey loved having Clarysa chase her around. 
Paige loved holding the leash.

Simon loved Zoey maybe because she was more his size. 
You would think this would scare a baby but not my baby. It didn't phase her at all. 
Best buds.

Zoey loves to cheer the team on
Morning nap is getting way overdue. Getting so sleepy.

Of course a trip from Chong and Clarysa would not be complete without gifts. I don't think the kids have seen Chong and Clarysa without receiving some kind of gift.  This visit was no exception and the kids picked out some new legos at Target. This is one of the many perks of having an Uncle and Aunt with no other nieces or nephews. They spoil these kids rotten. It will be a rude awakening  for our kids when these two start having kids of their own and our kids are not their main focus.

It took awhile but Paul got his done too.

Clarysa brought Paige some other cute things that Paige has to have next to her when she sleeps. 
I love this photo with Paul holding Simon. 


We also got to go to a Trunk-or-Treat at our Church. This year we went with the Star Wars Theme. Paul has been talking about being Obi Won Kenobi since last year. Paige wanted to be a princess. Since Paul kept talking about being Obi Won, she decided she wanted to be Princess Leia. I thought Zoey would make the perfect Yoda. They were the cutest trio at the party.

Obi Won and Princess Leia
My cute Star Wars Trio. 
I love Paul's Obi Won poses. He really got into character that night:) 
He cracks me up:)
The cute Princess Leia
They fought over whose turn it was to hold the light saber. She loves Star Wars almost as much as Paul.


Master Yoda walking to the party. She looks so funny from behind. 
We got to the party and both kids grabbed donuts. Awesome way to start the night of pure sugar:) I'm pretty sure this was Paige's first donut ever. 
Mom holding Master Yoda who was the talk of the party.
Simon dressed up as Bat Dog. We tried to find a Chewbacca costume at the last minute but without luck. 
Mom and Yoda
The kids loved the games. Here is Paige fishing for candy.
The force was strong with Obi Won because he got a strike pumpkin bowling. 
Yoda watching the games. 
Paul going for donuts with his best friend, Robin. This was so awesome to watch. I wished I had it on tape. It was so funny. 
Zoey wanted to play the donut game too.

Last day with Chong, Clarysa and Simon.



We had such a fun weekend and it was hard to say goodbye. It was especially nice for Mom since Dad was in China.  Paul tried to guilt trip Chong into staying a little longer. The kids still ask about Simon and when they can see him again.

Em, there were no videos. A couple of the pictures were from Chong's phone and came up blurry.

Your star wars trio were the best ever. Each character was perfect. Luke with his poses, Leia with the big hair and tiny master Yoda.

I like the "Simon scarf" that Zoey was wearing. Eric and I need to bring gifts when we visit.
