OuR BuSy WeEkend..

We had such a fun and busy weekend! Aside from having a garage sale, we were able to meet our cute new nephew and adorable new niece. They were each a month early and had to spend time in the NICU. Adalynn, is still in the NICU but is doing so well and we hope to see her go home soon! We were also able to visit with Great Grandma and Grandpa. Gabe pretty much became Grandpa's side kick and loved to hear all of his stories! Chandler is so in love with Grandma and also listened to stories while playing with a cute doll Grandma was knitting clothes for.




We were also able to go to the river and feed the ducks! We packed up dinner and had a picnic! The weather was absolutely perfect, no wind at all!

We have had Brooklyn all week and just love it when she comes to visit! She is our niece but is practically one of our own. We have her every month and the kids love it when she comes to stay. Her parents are separated and I think its a little hard on her. Her mom lives in Utah and dad in Saint Anthony. She usually spends the majority of her visitation time with us and we love her to pieces. We are especially excited this time because we were able to potty train her since we had her for such a long time. She is three and doesn't talk much, but has the biggest personalty. She calls us mommy and daddy, which I am trying to break, but can't considering that's what the other two call me. We love you Brooky!



The kids didn't want to leave, but we had to get up bright and early for 9:00 a.m.
church the next morning.


Here is the exact conversation Gabe had with great grandpa.

Gabe: "Gampa why do you have white hair and I jest only have black?"

Grandpa: "Because I'm old. Some day you will be old and you will have white hair too."

Gabe: (Yelling)"I will not have white hair!!!! I will jest only have black hair!!!"

Luckily my grandpa thought it was so cute. I thought it was rude myself!


Grandma told Chandler about dressing her cats up in dresses and pushing them around in her baby buggy. Chandler is so in love with grandma and wanted to hear story after story.

Ooh, Han, I love the pictures with Gramma and Grampa--and Gabe's conversation is hilarious. If you ever get a cat, I know Chandler will put it in a baby buggy first chance she gets!

What cute babies. Scary that they had to be in the NICU. Hopefully all will be well soon! What a great person you are for helping to care for your niece so often. She's lucky to have such a great influence in her life!

Those babies are precious! It's great your neice can come spend time with you. I'm sure she'll remember the good influences you've been in her hard times.
