To Grandma's House We Go!

Grace and Raegan came for a visit to Grandma's house. They had lots of fun "cousin time" along with some "Grandma time" of reading stories, coloring, watching movies and playing games. We even stopped by the county museum to see the natural history collection. Grace especially liked the lizzards and snakes. Raegan liked the big polar bear and the scarey wolf.


On Saturday, Mike came over with his kids after "off roading" and needed some help washing his truck. Kids to the rescue! They all wanted to get in on the action. They thought Uncle Mike was so cool because he let them wash his truck.
Who knew it would snow on Sunday? Grace looked out the window when she woke up and said, "It's white outside!" She said it was just like her Nana's house at Christmas time in Missouri. Sometimes we've even had a freak snow storm in April.
Grace helped me decorate a birthday cake for her daddy. We put the frosting on it along with all the candles. I was putting ballons up on the wall and I slipped off the chair landing with two fingers in the cake. Grace was more than willing to help me lick the frosting off. Then we repaired the cake with more frosting. Yummy. Make a wish, Bryan.On Friday we had an afternoon for Staci and Grace. While Raegan took a long nap, the cute California girls got ready for some fun in the sun. It was time to go swimming in the
jacuzzi. Grace was dissapointed that they couldn't swim in the big pool. But it was just too cold. (Refer to the snow picture from Sunday). She said that she would wait on the waterfall until it warmed up. That will be next month, probably - kind of a long wait.

After swimming, it was time for some Princess Barbie fun. The girls loved playing with the big and little barbies. They even made up cute songs to sing while they were playing.
Tami came over with the gang on Saturday to have some fun with Grace and Raegan. Caitlyn took the picture for us. What a great helper. (I wanted to stay warm in the jacuzzi. Can you blame me? Remember it snowed on Sunday!)

Kathy, All I can say is "LUCKY!!!" I know the girls love visiting grandma's house. It looks like they had a great time, thanks for posting the pictures.
Love you, Kathy (or better known as Grace & Raeg's Nana)

Kathy, aka nana, you are so right. Life doesn't get much better than having the little ones around. We are trying to make the most of the time we have left before b + j and kids move. We all will miss them. You and I need to keep in touch more! It will be fun to see you at the graduation in May.

you should probably come to Hawai'i and watch over Ashlyn while Heather and I go to Maui! :) Hey you are coming! No worries, we're not going to Maui.

You said it snowed Sunday morning, but I didn't know it actually stuck and even turned the grass white! No fair! We didn't get that at our house. The kids would have been freakin' out:)
Those pics of Grace and Staci are so cute. I'm glad just the two of them got some time to play. That's never happened before!
