Gevas' take over

So epic epic epic fail on not having my camera last week while the Gevas clan was here. But anyways Mike (Keith's dad) decided that for Cindy's birthday he would surprise her and get her old dream car. Very sweet idea. It just so happens that Keith stumbles across one through a drifting friend in the right color at a good price. The car needed some work but all in all it was good. The week leading up to this Keith and Kyle worked and scrubbed and welded and cleaned and waxed and fixed this car. There was still more to get done when the Gevas' arrived with Kyle leaving and unable to work on the car during the day and the Gevas' coming sooner than we thought. So we hid the car the night before they arrived.
Well Tuesday rolls around and I text Cindy who all was coming and when they would be leaving. I was under the impression just the 2 of them and Kyle and that they would let us know when they were leaving. The next day I get a call from Miles, Keith's second youngest brother, saying they had left an hour ago and that him and Joe, the youngest, were in tow as well... hmmmm ok... no big. Then an hour later I get a text from Alicia, Keith's oldest sibling, saying that her and 2 kids were coming as well. So we went from housing 2 to housing 6 (Miles would be staying with a friend in Windsor) hmmm not going to lie I was stressin' a bit. For one reason and then because when family gets together, especially a big family, who now all have their own families and ideas and ways of doing things tensions can get strained and people can get rubbed the wrong way. Oh man this could get interesting. Well since they took 2 trucks to fit all the people and stuff, Mike, Cindy, Alicia +2 and Joe stayed in Napa with Mike's brother and Kyle and Miles came here. Miles was picked up instantly and swept off to Windsor, so all we had was Kyle that night, take a breath all is good.
Well 830 rolls around and the Gevas' are 45 minutes away. Everyone up and finish getting ready! Oh man do I wish I could have had a camera. They roll up pulling a huge ace trailer PACKED with Kyle's stuff and stuff for our house and 6 people in total climb out of the 6 seater truck. The ladies came in with the kids and I gave them the tour and then we sat and chatted while the men folk hurriedly unpacked both trucks and trailer. I swear the neighbors must have been worried!
Cindy went up to Gyserville where she use to teach and spent the day with old friends which gave the guys a chance to deal with getting new tires and wheels, which took the whole day because of fails. Mike was just done with it after all that so instead of waiting until Saturday to give Cindy her car he rolled up in it, top down right as she did and they went for a little cruise.

Not the greatest picture of the car but still she was thrilled and they ended up driving the car all over for the weekend! The following day it even got a new stereo system and everything! We were all a little worried because surprises can either be awesome or fails and typically its the later. Thankfully this one turned out perfectly. 

The following day- Friday- they all went over to Ryan and Lora's for breakfast and chillin'. came back here and I had just put Naomi down 30 minutes earlier so they took the kids to the park let Naomi sleep for a while longer than I woke her up and we went to TRAIN TOWN!!!!!!!!! If you have toddlers you have to go to train town in Sonoma. So so so much fun! We have to go back to do more stuff and so Keith can come too! There was so much to see and do. Here's the link if anyone is interested: http://www.traintown.com/ for $5.25 a person we went on the train ride which went through great scenery and over bridges and through tunnels and stopped off in a "town" where you could feed animals and explore.  They also had little carnival rides and quarter machine rides and everything far too much fun for one trip! I sadly don't have any pictures from this but am hoping to and when I do I will post them. Naomi just LOVED the train, eyes wide, big grin just far too much fun! Then finished up the day back at Ryan and Lora's for dinner and games. 

Saturday we wanted to go to the beach but it was too windy so just the Utah-arians went and then they met us at the Redwood grove off of East side road in Windsor for picnic and kayaks and finishing and fun! Once again I need to try to get pictures from that but here are a few of Naomi and her cousin Lilly:

I know its blurry but its cute because they are hugging

They both know how to give high fives but some how this was tricky

Where are the trees Lilly?

Uh-huh...

Come with me

See here are the trees

and some more

and just a few more! 

Super cute and super fun like I said I will try to get more soon and will post the rest. 

Then Sunday was the baby blessing of Lilly's younger brother Owen Samuel and a BBQ- all fun. 

So all in all no one got pissed at each other everyone had lots of fun and we all still like each other. Very good trip! Haha

Oh and Alicia make bows so Naomi while she wont wear one....

Will wear them all but only long enough to snap a few photos and then take them out. haha. Anyways super cute and I love her. And I love being part of the Gevas family =)
