Janie and Kaylee gave up the warm, inviting Nevada weather to spend time with friends and family over Spring Break. We had a great visit, chilling out (literally and figuratively) in our backyard Sunday for a BBQ to celebrate their mini-homecoming as well as Kaylee's 11th birthday. As always, it was great to see them and as always, the time seemed too brief. Still, we had a good visit with good friends - what more can you ask for? Besides maybe pictures:
 |
| I was so glad to see Kaylee's Oregon pride! (Even though it should be a UO sweatshirt!) |
 |
| Heidi, trying to keep her man warm. Despite the sunny skies, it was brisk! |
 |
| April and Herman huddle as well. |
 |
| Jo looks comfy but Vanessa might be shivering a little bit. |
 |
| "The Tussle on Russell" - Heidi gets taken down by Kaylee. |
 |
| Pooped out from all that WWE action. |
 |
| Janie looks bemused by the brawl. I love this expression. |
 |
| One word, dude: pants. |
 |
| I don't think it was really windy enough for kites. Maura's was on the ground more than in the air. |
 |
| Jo gets one of the kites up in the air and STILL manages to keep those girls from popping out the top! |
 |
| Back to playing nice. |
 |
| Kaylee scored some cash, shoes, clothes and cosmetics for her birthday. |
 |
| Janie's niece Kyra, her hubby Jimmy and baby Sofie came to play! |
|
 |
| I just like this picture. Matt looks so satisfied as he takes a break from grilling duties. |
The next day, most of us girls made a shopping pilgrimage to Woodburn to peruse the Premium Outlet Stores before bidding the Rios girls farewell:
 |
| Vanessa rocks the big glasses. |
 |
| Me and my cousin. We're dorks like that. |
| GOOD BYE FOR NOW! WE'LL MISS YOU, JANIE AND KAYLEE! |

The picture of you and Jo cracks me up. At first glance I thought it was manequins. The lighting makes you guys look a bit grey. LOL
I had so much fun with Janie and Kaylee. I am ready for them to move back!
Ahhh, the backyard BBQ. If only it was like, 30 degrees warmer?!? :)
I'm glad you took photos. You got some good ones of the throwdown - too bad the wedgies didn't make the blog. You and Jo are two cool dudes in loose moods in that last pic! happy bday Kaylee!! Can't believe she's ONLY 11. It was a fun evening.
