Cool Aunt Nici and Uncle Ryan

Not having kids (yet!...for all you hopefuls) lets us be "Cool Aunt Nici and Uncle Ryan". We get to take this nieces and nephews and lets them drink what their parents don't let them and eat what their parents don't let them and stay up all hours of the night doing what ever they want and their parents can't say a word about it...because what would they say any ways?..."We will never let you babysit-for-free-over-night again!" I don't have to many crazy sisters who pass up 24 hours of free baby sitting. :) Anyway, this last weekend we took my 2 nieces (Diamon and Raiven) and nephew (Jett) for the night and had a great time. We all stayed up late playing Disney Trivial Pursuit till we were all too tired to care who won and then we all went to bed. But not without a fight of where everyone was going to sleep. Then the next day we all ate at a Hawaiian BBQ place, watched the Disney channel for what seemed like hours, everyone had a ride on the WASP (our scooter), and then we rode TRAX (Trax can be cool if you are a kid and have never rode it before) to the Franklin Covey Field where we watched our wonderful Salt Lake Bee's win their way to a 14-1 record! (They are on fire again this year!) After the game my mom took all the kids home to their parents and we went home as "Cool Aunt Nici and Uncle Ryan"! And EXHAUSTED--Kids wear you out! :)

P.S. We are very excited about the Bee's this year! We are HUGE fans and last year we didn't get to go to any games because we were in AZ. This year we already have our games picked out and can't wait. If anyone wants a fun double date let us know, my dad gets cheap tickets (that's why we are huge fans...it is a cheap summer activity!)
GO BEE'S!

Nici- I'm so sorry that I suck and spaced on letting you know about the Vegas party. 100% honest, we really do like you guys! I just went through my address book and sent invites to the people I had addresses for, not even thinking that there were some Columbus kids new to Utah whose addresses I didn't have. Again, so sorry that I'm an airhead. What is your address, for future reference? email me at chrissi (dot) harris (at)gmail (dot)com

Having had many experiences with my sister's five children, I definitely agree - kids are exhausting! :-) But, they are also fun at the same time. And they keep us young. Or is it they make us age quicker (I can't even count the number of times my parents told me I was giving them gray hairs when I was growing up). :-D Either way, I am glad to hear you guys had such a good time!

Ok Nici, I finally broke down and bought the first book in the Twilight series and can't put it down. I never usually get too in to the crazes, but I am loving this one. I am already looking forward to the next book and the movie!

Thanks for the suggestion=)
