Well, we just took grandma to the airport after a fun visit! We were sad to see her go, but thankful we were able to have her for the five days she was here. We did lots of fun things and got lots of stuff done. She is quite the worker, and we were able to get lots of projects done. The first day was spent painting a wall in the garage where our water heater had leaked, while my mom spent the day doing a weeks worth of laundry!! It was nice to get that done, and Dave was especially grateful it got done so he didn't have to.
The next day we headed over to the new mall and let the kids play at the play place, and walked around a bit. My mom thought it was funny to put an outdoor mall in a HOT place like here, but she did think it was a great idea they had the misters! We went to lunch at the Mexican restaurant there, which has the best guacamole EVER! (If you haven't tried it, you have to! It is a little pricey, but soooo worth it!) The next day we decided to work on another project and headed over to Linens N Things, which is going out of business, and got a great deal on curtains for my bedroom sliding door. We ended up spending the WHOLE afternoon hanging those things. Do you ever start a home improvement idea thinking it will be so quick to do, and then everything goes wrong and it ends up taking forever?? Well, that happened to us, and after having the curtains fall completely down on us when we thought they were good, we finally managed to get them up nice and tight. It was a pain, but they look great and it's nice to have them done.
The kids loved spending time with Grandma. Ashley loved the nights she got to read in bed with Grandma, laughing and talking. And here is Grandma reading a bedtime story to Kelsey. Grandma sure loves her grand kids!!
Well, after all the hard work during the week, my mom and I spent the day together at the Spa. We got massages, sat in the steam room, soaked up some sun floating around in the lazy river and the wave pool, and shopped for a while. I had told my mom I was going to get her a day of pampering for her birthday, so she got it! We had a great time being together, and I was grateful for the fun memories we were able to make.
We went to church this morning, then spent the day hanging out together. The kids loved having Grandma, and so did I. (Dave also enjoyed it as he didn't have to do any dishes pretty much the whole time. My mom would do them before we even had a chance to!)

Thanks dad for managing at home without her, and we look forward to seeing you in a few months.

Moms are the best aren't they! Sounds like you had a fun and busy week. What a good idea to spend a day at the spa. I'll have to remember that next time my mom comes.
Sounds absolutely fabulous! What a great week. I have spa envy:)
How nice! Tony was going to Calf. to see his son play football and the other in a play and i decided at last minute to tag along! It is so nice to see family!
Where is linens n things?
I love it when my mom comes to visit. All the projects in my head start to come into fruition because my mom is such a go getter. I love spending time with her and it's so fun for the kids to be one on one with grandma. What a great 5 days!
how cute is your mom?! so we saw your husband at the game on sat but he was walking w his bro and i told dan- don't you dare say anything! knowing he'd have the wrong brother! so we waited for dave to say hi to us! what a depressing night....
I'm so jeoulous. I know I just had mom here for a week, but I wish she could come back for another. I'm glad you guys had so much fun!
Sounds like you guys had a good time! We'll have to have her come visit next time we have a few projects to get done...
It sounds like you had a great visit! How fun for you guys.
What a fun week! And right after your little get away to Washington--man you're spoiled :) I like when Kirt's mom comes to visit, it's so nice to have another pair of hands with chores and to give kids attention and another adult to hang out and chat with.
Grandmas are such a blessing! Glad that she was able to come and spend time with you all!
