Move-In-Laws

That's right people...the in-laws have moved in. Cam's parents are are building a home in Draper that will be done in November. Since Matt and Jill had to be out of their house at the end of September they decided it would be great quality family bonding time to live with us for a month. Woo. Woo.

It's been pretty nice surprisingly. Matt and Jill are easy to live with, for the most part. Ady and Anders are loving all the extra attention. They get Swedish pancakes on occasion and all the candy that Jill stashes up on. Jill isn't referred to as Grandma in our family. Dasa, my sister-in-law gave her the loving term Coo-Coo. My kids have now adapted the term of endearment to 'Coocbirdie' or 'Coocbird'. All throughout the day you can hear Anders or Ady yelling 'Coocbird'. We get some questionable glances when we are out and about.
Anders is totally enthralled with Grandpa Matt's Harley. We've found him in the garage sitting on the motorcycle saying, 'Grandpa's motorcycle? Ride? Yeah? Ride Grandpa's motorcycle? Yeah? (Anders thinks if he asks his questions with a 'yes' at the end then that automatically means he will get what he wants. He's not manipulative at all...nooooo.)
We are getting pretty spoiled with the in-laws living here. We have live-in babysitters!!! That is the biggest perk. It's especially nice when you have to run random errands and don't have to cart the kids around too. They also treat us to dinner occasionally which is a bonus.
Jill is pretty easy going. She is only bossy about...everything (Mostly TV programs: We must watch Dancing with the Stars and other prime time hits.) She's very much like Cameron or vice versa. Neither likes to be alone...ever. She likes to have somewhere to go and someone to go with at all times. And she's very opinionated. So we pretty much do whatever she wants to do. :) (Just kidding Coo-Coo...kind of)
Grandpa Matt loves to tease Coo-Coo, so they are always disagreeing about something, mostly when Jill isn't explaining her story clearly enough. He is also known for his very detailed story-telling. There are many great stories of Grandpa Matt telling stories, but those will be saved for another blog. For now, picture Grandpa Matt on his veranda with a glass full of ice and Diet Coke, enjoying the sunset. ;)

I feel lucky to know Matt and Jill so well. It has been easy to live with them. They are both fun to tease and joke around with. I hate to say it, but I will be kind of sad when they move out....for a minute.
