Surprise!!!

Ma and Grandpa Ardern from New Zealand randomly called Wade 2 weeks go. Wade was a bit confused. It was his Dad's voice but kept looking at the phone which had an 801 area code number. Turns out, they just flew into Salt Lake City! Ian was being called to be an Area Seventy during this April General Conference so they flew him and Paula up for meetings, etc. Wow. Everyone has always "known" about this. It was only a matter of time. He is a GREAT man and he's part of our family!

Anyway, the Monday after general conference both of them headed up to our house for a week of shopping, fun and cuddles with Jack and Charlotte. Crazy they missed seeing the baby by a couple of weeks but we aren't complaining. It was a great visit and Charlotte and Jack just loved being around Ma and Grandpa. And I had a great time because my hip didn't hurt ONCE while they were here! Miracle!! I think it's because they took a lot of the attention and lifting, etc. off of me. What a wonderful relief. And the other neat thing was that Wade was on Spring Break too!! What are the chances?! It was a great surprise and I'm really glad they were able to come visit us. We know they'll be able to visit for the next 4 or 5 years for April Conference so that's going to be a wonderful thing to look forward to :)

There was a crazy snow storm the night Ma and Grandpa got here. Ma was SO excited!!! So were the kids and had to have pictures in it!!
