Weekend fun!

Mark and Tiffani went on a business trip last weekend to Des Moines, Iowa. So Grandpa and I were so excited to play with Cash, Colby, Grey, Grahm, and of course Jack.  

We painted gnomes and mushrooms. Grahm loved his mushroom and carried everywhere. He even brought it when went to get something to eat. We played lots of games with the magic mushroom!

We took Jack for lots of walks and played in the snow. It was a little cold but it was still felt good to get some fresh air.

King of the Hill!

We did a little shopping and had lunch 

at Grahm's favorite Costa Vida.

I was doing something and turned and saw someone looking in the window. It startled me a little but it was just Jack!

Colby made Jack a doggy shirt, I think he likes it!

We always enjoy playing games with boys. You can see the gnome Colby painted on the table behind Cash and Grey. 

Colby did a nice job making this Husky. It had over 50 stickers and he had to find where they all fit.

As always we need lots of hugs!

Colby built this solar systems that Chris gave him for Christmas!

Nothing like snuggling up with Grey 

and Grahm while watching a movie.

All the grands but Cash wanted to sleep with me. Grey and Grahm were in the bed with me and Colby on a cozy mattress on the floor. We read a few books and said a prayer. As we were falling asleep Grey held one of my hands and Grahm held the other. That melted my grandma heart.

We all slept just fine, even Jack! We had a yummy breakfast. I was helping Grahm upstairs and when we came down Cash had cleaned the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher. He often ask me if I need any help. He a wonderful young man. Colby is so good with Grey and Grahm. Colby and Grey wanted to clean their room so I made a few suggestions, and they got it all shined up!

Grahm took off his shirt and said he needed to do his 15 minutes of exercise. That meant punching his dinosaur. So hilarious! 

More exercise!

Grandma got her steps in too. 

If I lived at their house I would be thin!

We surprised Mom and Dad with a heart attack! The boys worked hard to make some cute hearts. Grahm also drew that amazing poster.

I'm so grateful that we live nearby so we can see Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm often. Tim and I have days when we feel that they just make life worth living! We can't wait for Mark and Tiff to have another business trip. We love our family so much.
