Super Visitors
My dad, stepmom and brother (the oft-mentioned Matt) came to visit us for a week. Stellan wasted no time putting them to "work" on their first night. Here is a video that you shouldn't feel obligated to watch all the way through, but you will enjoy if you're the doting grandparent/adoring Stellan fan type.
I do think you have missed the boat on enticing some of your familia to come visit. If I had known you were a weight loss clinic I would have been out there as soon as you mention the ice cream store!
"Dad, when is my birthday?" "You know when your birthday is." "But just tell me." "It's on July 7th." "Again?!" Stellan, Kevin, 8/31/12
"Sometimes I ask myself, 'What would Snape do?'" Kevin, discussing parenting techniques, 7/20/12
"Rachelle, you're my favorite RaRa in the whole world. Who's your favorite mommy?" "Emily!" Krissie and Rachelle, 6/5/12
"Mom, why does the back of that bus have a picture of a person on a potty?" "That's the symbol for a disabled person, son; that person is in a wheelchair." Stellan and Krissie, 9/6/11
"Where you at?" "Fort Walton Beach, not far from Pensacola." "Oh, so not far from Florida." Old friend from South Florida and Krissie, via FB IM 4/12/11
"So, Cinco de Mayo is on the 5th this year; that's a Thursday." Overheard by Kevin at work, 3/2/11
"I hate winter; so many socks." Kevin, 1/14/11
"If she's not dead when we get there, so help me, she will be." GrandMaggie, 1/5/11
"South Florida only has two seasons: summer and diet summer." Kevin, 10/23/10
"Her mouth is moving like lickety-heck." Susan, 8/6/10
"3, 2, 1, blastdown!" Stellan, too many times to count
"Remember 'rejoice in rejection' from the mission? I should be rejoicing up the ying yang right now." Kevin, 7/16/10
"I am like a ballerina." "Why are you like a ballerina?" "Because I'm poopy." Stellan and Daddy, 5/16/10
"Stellan, what's that?" "It's my singerphone." Krissie and Stellan, discussing his Sid the Science Kid-esque microphone, 4/6/10
"Stellan, I have a secret for you: I love Stellan!" "Mommy, I have secret: I love food!" - Krissie and Stellan, 2/5/10
"I heard Oprah is retiring from her TV show. What is she going to do now?" "I heard she's just going to swim around in her giant money vault like Scrooge McDuck." - Tabatha and Kevin, 1/23/10
"That's all South Florida is, right? One big swim up tiki bar?" - Tabatha, 1/22/10
"This guacamole is so good that not even Stellan peeing on me could ruin it." - Krissie, 12/9/09
"Stellan needs to learn that there are cats and there are dogs. And then there are gators." - Granny, 9/19/09
"My dog is totally emo." "What, does he, like, cut himself?" - Two of my seminary students, 9/11/09
"That's your 'slap me bum' card." - Claire Ashby, 8/29/09
"Moms have the most important job in the world. You're building our tomorrow, today." "Tomorrow looks busy." - Auntie Beeb and Krissie, 8/19/09
I want to live with Krista and visit Riley. - Joe Peyton speaking of his wife and 2-year-old respectively, 8/15/09
The Lord hocks us up sometimes, and it is great. - Elder Matthew Steward, 8/11/09. [It's possible he meant "hooks," but I think both may be true.]
You just never know when you're going to need hors d'oeuvres. - Auntie Beeb, 8/02/09
Sparklers are like marijuana; it's a slippery slope. - Granny (Martha Peyton), 7/5/09
I'd even bling for you if you'd stay. - Susan Cook, 6/27/09
It's a good thing you're blonde. If you weren't, you'd be a Chia Pet and everyone would know it. -Rosana Diaz, 6/21/09
[Delivered with Evil Genius Voice.] But how can you take over the world if you are blind? - Kevin says while removing his shirt to flash me, 6/13/09
I'll whamboozle them tomorrow. -Kevin, 6/11/09
The number of wipes used is like the Richter scale of poopy diapers. -Krissie, 6/7/09

Dear Familia Cook,
I do think you have missed the boat on enticing some of your familia to come visit. If I had known you were a weight loss clinic I would have been out there as soon as you mention the ice cream store!
Grandpa and boy chasing about in superhero capes. I don't think life gets any better than that.
PS - Did Matt add Bud as a friend?
Super Grandpa is an untapped hero I think you and Craig should cash in on. Very cute and I can't believe how big Stellan is!
