11 Days and counting!

Hey people! When you come for this family fun on Aug 1, bring your swimsuits!
Kim and I are working feverishly (literally, yesterday Kim was working outside when it was 102 degrees!) to get this playhouse done. I think we are going to make it. All except the slide. We are going to have to have that specially made...and we just don't have time to pursue that right now.
We are very excited about this upcoming gathering.
We think we should try to get the trampoline up...but I am not sure it would get used enough to justify the work of putting it up and down. Any thoughts?
Also, I am thinking we will borrow a tent from Brett and Katie to put up in the backyard to sleep. Kiera would like it I know. But we'll have floor space inside too....what are your thoughts? We've got the computer room, guest room and play room with bunks. Chad and Erica will be here too...we'll need quiet space for babies to sleep. We can use our bedroom for that too. And maybe Brett and Katies space when they're not needing it private....what do you think Brett and Katie? Wanna squish some family in?
I am open to suggestions....11 more days to wait!

We nelsons are good anywhere. I don't know if I could put my girls to bed in the tent and have them sleep unless I stayed with them until they fell asleep, but I could move them out there once already asleep. Or, just give us 1 room and we'll be good.

We have the northwest (Japanese) bedroom with a queen bed. We have the office room with the bed above the desk and plenty of floor space. We have the new room downstairs with the bunks set up. Brett/Katie have a hide a bed in their living room. We should have plenty of sleeping quarters.

I suggest that we take the office and guest room and Cambrie take the basement. Kiera could have the lower bunk and Cambrie the upper. Unless CAN is opposed, I think that would work best. That way we don't have to intrude on Brett and Katie. Emmy can nap in Mom and Dad's room (you guys might want to consider buying a sound screen-- they are life-savers when it comes to big gatherings).

We're fine with people staying in the living room if you need it - not a problem at all. You may need to go upstairs through the outside since we have kind of weird work/sleeping schedules (well Brett does, although we don't know what his schedule will be). And we're hoping to go on a vacation of our own Aug 2 or 3rd, so you're welcome to the rest of the space then.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
