We have had a whirlwind couple of weeks! Jen's family came to visit. Our first set of visitors were her sister Darlene, brother in law Jose, nephew Adrian and Jose's sister Roselie, they drove down from L.A. after visiting Jose's family. Our second set of visitors were Jen's mom Shari and aunt Ann who incorporated Yuma as a stop in their sister's road trip adventure which also included Vegas, Sedona, and Scottsdale.

Our days included a trip to Yuma's very own camel farm, boating on Lake Martinez and out into the Colorado river, a day trip across the border into Mexico for handicrafts and potent margaritas, sun bathing and even a few dips in our freezing pool! I have so many great photos to share but once again our camera cord has gone missing. In our down time Jen's mom insisted on picking our weeds and over the course of her visit she picked ALL of our weeds, and when I say ALL I mean about 4 garbage bags full! Thanks mom!

Our guests have been gone for 2 days now but after our 2 week break from remodel it's been difficult to pick it up again. Our goals for the immediate future are to wrap up the kitchen, buy a kitchen table, install the chandelier, finish painting the house and take measures to ensure all of mom's weeds don't come back.

Photos to come soon (hopefully).
