Weekend at Grandma's and Grandpa's

This past weekend we had a really fun time with the girlyfield's at our house. Jared and Alisa went to Idaho to a wedding for her cousin and the girls stayed overnight with us. Grandpa went and bought a 3 man tent for them and we set up in the living room! That was there play house and sleeping spot. They had more fun in that thing playing house, hiding from each other, reading stories and sleeping. It was kinda cold out so the riding bikes and playing on the neighbors play ground was not as long lived as they would of liked. Jake and Marissa, Sydney come over on Friday night to eat and all of them had a fun time playing. My mom and dad were hear until Saturday so they got to see our darling girls! I am so thankful that we live so close that we can enjoy them and kiss them often...it really was a fun weekend!

Ivy's Day with Grandma!

On Tuesday this week it was Ivy's day to spend with me all by herself! I went and got her at about 10:00 and when I walked into the house she got this huge smile and came running to be while saying "I'm ready to go with you Grandma". She was all dressed in this really cute outfit with her hair all done. We went to Target and shopped around...she got a new nightgown, flip flops, head band for her hair and most important "makeup" chap stick! Than we went to McDonald's for lunch and to play on the toys, than she wanted to go to my house and see the dogs and watch a movie. We took the dogs for a walk around the block. Than about 3:00 I asked her if it was time to go home and she said,"NO"! Well I packed her up and we headed towards home anyway. When we got to the Maverick in Stansbury I stop to get everyone a ICE and half way to her house she said, Grandma, I really don't want to go home! It made my heart hurt that I was making her go but she was happy to see her Mom and Dad and sisters. She gave them the things that we got for them from Target...they got head bands also. It was a fun day for me and we are going to do this more often with them all. They are so funny when they have your full attention and tell you crazy things that they have made up in their heads. When she come the next day while Jared and Alisa went to get a new vehicle, Ivy was talking about her "special day" that we had together...this is what makes life worth it...the sweet faces of 4 girls that call me Grandma!

Another Trip!

Scott and I were able to go for a little get away this past weekend! We flew to Las Vegas and rented a car and went down to see his sisters, Janet and Bonnie in Quartzsite Arizona. They spend the winter there every year. We went to Mexico for a few hours and got some stuff, and had a wonderful visit. Scott went to play golf one afternoon, the weather was high 70's to mid 80's. The car we rented was a Enclave by Buick and we have been thinking about getting one in the future and it was really nice...made us want it sooner! We went to see Hoover Dam, they are building a new bridge over it and that was really awesome! It isn't finished and the way that they do it was really interesting. We went down to the strip in Vegas and went to see the fountains at the Bellagio and they were really fun, beautiful and awesome! Also we went to Cesar's Palace and went through that mall...we must of walked 10 miles that day! We ate really good food and had a fun time together. I took the camera but of course the battery was dead!!!
