middleton mayhem!

brad has known kyle middleton since they were like... 4. he was the best man at their wedding.

(which, by the way, we watched brad's "toast" on their wedding video. if you ever are in el dorado hills, you need to stop by and watch it. it's worth 5 minutes of your time. yes, his toast was a rambling, hilarious 5 MINUTES long. we all love him for it, too. hilarious!)

kyle and amy have been married 9 years and have 5 crazy, beautiful, hilarious kids. seriously. they are SO funny. they had been waiting for "Uncle Brad" to come visit and show off his wrestling, comedy, juggling and yo-yo skills. he's a walking clown. :) and THEY LOVED IT. they followed him around for 2 days thoroughly entertained and LOVING it.

and seriously, amy and kyle, stop having such cute kids. we'll never be able to compete with this:

Kyle's parents have a house on the American River so they took us on a short rafting trip. We had a great time in the GORGEOUS weather, and I was so impressed with how brave the kiddos were!

THANK YOU for letting us stay & have such a wonderful time with your family! We hope to see you all again soon!
