Grandma Desi!

FINALLY we got a visitor! We love having people come visit and it rarely happens. To say my kids were excited was an understatement. I love having my mom here when there is not a big event,  like having a baby because that seems to be the only time I get people here. We were able to hang out and enjoy some one-on-one time with Grandma and my kids LOVED every minute of it!! They painted some pictures for her, these are only a couple...

Grandma was show and tell at school for letter "g" 

We had lunch with the kids at school and even spoiled them with McDonalds Happy meals. 

Lulu loved the iPad as much as the other kids:)

Goose was Grandma's buddy. He loved having the kids at school and getting Grandma all the himself. 

We played pretty much every board came that we had, legos, just dance, statues, read books, jumped on the tramp, watched moves in bed, played on her iPad/iPhone(to the point of my kids being a little obsessed and me being annoyed with the obsession), and just got grandma all to ourselves for a couple of days. I cherish the quality time that my kids get when we have her here 24/7. I think that's why it makes me sad that we don't get visitors more often. Although we are moving back to Utah and will be able to see grandparents more often it won't be the same quality time that they get when they come and stay with us. So, as excited as I am to be moving home I am sad to not have this opportunity for quality time...but since it's only happened a handful of times I think it is better off that we are back in Utah for my kids to be able to see Grandparents and cousins

Grandma taught the kids how to make friendship rubber band bracelets. 

Jer and I went out to dinner-TWICE. We have forgotten how to date. Our idea is putting the kids down and watching a redbox at home. It was really nice to get out and have a nice quiet dinner together. 

Thanks Grandma for taking the time to come visit us!! We love and appreciate it more then you will ever know! 

Sea World with Grandma.

We took Grandma over the hill to Sea World while she was here for a visit. It was a fun and busy day. I thought we had done pretty much everything in the park, but was surprised when we filled the day with all new activities. The squired was pretty neat going across the ocean. I'm pretty sure Grandma was quilted into buying these pictures! Grandma asked who was riding with her and these three jumped at the chance!

Lulu was loving the view!

All Grandam requested to see was the stinky penguins.

We saw the pets rule show. 

Dad was the lucky one to go on rattle snake rapids with the kids. They came back soaking wet!

Checking out the starfish while waiting for the kids to get off the rides. 

Keeping the younger two entertained while Landon and Leah took Grandma on Mantis. 

Loves the fish. 

She thinks she's big and needs to walk. 

Grandma got a rare family shot for us. 

Mother VS Son Night!

We had a Mother and Son night at TL Waggoner. Landon was super excited for the verses night and I was excited for a little one-on-one time with him. We had some good burgers and played some fun games. 

We had events that we both took turns on and kept score along the way. 

Golf

Darts

My favorite, giant Jenga! I did try to beat him, but somehow he managed to kick my butt. 

The score sheet. I won't live down that he beat me in all but two things! He might have my competitiveness. 

Goofing off with the hula hoops and the end. He is such a social and friendly kid, I love it. 

The event was from 6:30 to 8:30 Landon wouldn't have let me leave early even is I wanted too. He had his two hour block with me and we were going to fill that two hours with anything and everything!! It was a great night with my buddy and I am grateful for the time that I got to spend with him!

Backyard Shenanigans!

We spend a lot of time out in the backyard lately. The weather is perfect and we are soaking up every minute of it! 

Landon and Leah played capture the flag...just the two of them. Logan was on Leah team, but flip flopped from side to side depending on where and what he wanted to play with. It was hilarious to see them taunting each other from their side. The divider is the line of bikes in the middle of the yard.  

She was a mess from one piece of chocolate!

A little bit of tag(better game for the three of them then capture the flag)

Teaching Logan how to tie his shoe. Leah taught herself at the first of the school year and Landon just learned!

A little painting project. 

Nothing like a good old fashion bonfire and some s'mores. 

Lacey loves when the kids take her for rides on the plasma car.
