Grandma & Grandpa Visit


My mom and dad came up this past weekend to visit and we had such a good time. The girls were very excited to see them and we had lots of fun. On Saturday Jeremy, the girls and my parents came to lunch at Applebee's while I was working and it was so fun to see them there - the girls were extra good - probably because last time we went we threatened them with their lives if they ever acted like they did in public again. We barbequed Saturday night and we just talked and watched a show while Jeremy went fishing. Sunday was church and my parents took the girls on a drive in the afternoon to go see the Rexburg temple - the only time my house was quiet and the car was finally quiet once they both fell asleep. We all took the dogs on a walk Sunday night - Gracie was trying to walk Molly who was running and Gracie would run a bit, her pants would fall down, she would hitch them back up and go again until she finally (and reluctantly) gave up the leash to her dad because her pants had fallen around her ankles and we were afraid she was going to trip and get hurt - my mom thought it was the funniest thing she has seen in a while. We went shopping and to the movies on Monday and had to say goodbye Tuesday morning. Here are a couple of pictures of the girls in their new church dresses - Whitney was crying because Gracie kept pushing her out of the way so she could be in the picture herself.



I bought the girls a makeup kit about 6 months ago and have had it put away because I haven't exactly been looking forward to letting them use it - I gave in today and let them put the make-up on themselves - they did a fabulous job don't you think?

How fun! You are brave to let your girls have a makeup kit, but it looks like they are old pros. Your kids are so funny, I can't wait to see them next month!

Thanks! They had fun and I am starting to relax a lot more with them. Jeremy and I were saying the other day how much fun they are - still a lot of work - but SO enjoyable to be with - the Zion's trip for example. Makes me want more. Jer said we just need to have one more pregnancy and have twin boys - I am starting to agree with him! By the way - thanks for posting comments - nobody else seems to.
