Grandma and Grandpa visit

Leave a reply

Grandma and Grandpa came down for a few days to visit and go to a family friends wedding reception.

Joel saved our butts, and was ever helpful around the house. I am not allowed to use the lawn edger (some such nonsense about me losing toes….), and Jon in his current state cannot do the job either. SO best father-in-law ever knocked out this sweaty chore for us. The lawn looks SO much better now.

He also was our third driver/tier filler upper. Punk kids deflated a couple of the vans tiers, and that popped out a nail from one of them. So Joel filled them up and followed Jon to the tire shop to get the hole fixed, took Jon to work, came back over to the house, finished edging, waited for me to get back from taking Kaylee to school, then went with me to pick up the van and take it Jon so he would have a car to drive home so I wouldn't have to worry about picking him up after work. Longest winded sentence ever.

IMG_2605The children asked if they could go into the foyer and get their wiggle out.  GO.WIGGLE.IMG_2610The bride and groom had a PINATA! Hello. LOVE.THEM. I so want a reception do over so I can have a pinata. How fun is this?!

IMG_2614 IMG_2618 IMG_2624We swung by the temple just because it was there and so were we. So pretty.

IMG_2626Regan was quite relaxed on the way home.

IMG_2687Oh, wait. That's better.

Good times people. Good times.

2 for 1 party

Emily planned a big family party to celebrate Shannon, and her birthday's. It was so much fun!

IMG_1782The chefs preparing dinner. They are not afraid to use butter, and therefore make the best grilled cheese sandwiches.

IMG_1784Kaylee enjoyed dinning al fresco with the other children. She was also very happy to see Becca and talk about their first days of kindergarten.

IMG_1785 IMG_1787I asked Kaylee and Becca to be cute. They were very accommodating.

IMG_1788 Regan was pretty mad at me for telling him he couldn't go swimming unless he ate his dinner.

IMG_1795 IMG_1796So he only looks scared. He LOVED going down the slide, and off the diving board. He bounced between the two all night.

IMG_1797 IMG_1804 IMG_1806 IMG_1809The birthday girls. I especially love the candelabra that they shared. Too cute!

IMG_1811 IMG_1822 IMG_1829A few weeks (or longer…) ago Shannon mentioned that she wanted some pizza pans like mine. Apparently she had to double bake her crust so it wasn't soggy! The horror! She asked where I got mine. They were a hand me down from my Mom. Mom where did you get the awesome things? Anyway, I began my search for some for her so her pizza night is faster/easier.

IMG_1831I made Emily a gag shirt, that I really quite like, and better yet so did she! She had been pinning lots of Bull dog things on pinterest lately. AND her brother and SIL just got the sweetest bull dog the night of the party and brought her to play. So I will be making a couple more shirts for her Mom and SIL. Happy day.

IMG_1834  Amy did some super fun face painting on the girls. They were all different and all SO cute.IMG_1807 IMG_1843Kaylee had remnants of face paint in her hair line for several days. It was such a fun party. We always love getting together with family.

Side notes: Thanks to Dwayne for looking at my van, and Dave for looking at my hubby. It's always a very good thing to have a mechanic, and a Dr. you know, love, and trust!
