A few weekends back we had conference weekend, and also a visit from friends that used to live here by us! It was so much fun to get together and hang out and catch up. Especially cuz it felt like they had never moved. We sure miss them!
Here Ivy was dressed and ready to go to the beach with them, and had her first twist in her hair into piggies - was too cute!
This girl handed me the phone and said "pittcher, mommy......cheese!" and then posed all on her own - way too cute!
She is miss personality and is so much fun right now!
Hanging with her daddy at the beach - way too fun with everyone - and altho cold we all had a blast!
"Reunited and it feels so good!".......Cash and Owen are my favorite here because they literally were SO excited to see each other and never parted the whole time - doing everything together and acting as if they see each other every day! Best buddies!
After the priesthood session we went out with this fun group, adults only, to a delicious meal at Petros and a very fun night. The girls sat together, and the boys did too and it was perfect!
Here the boys are concocting their plan of dare and how much someone would have to pay you to jump off the Manhattan Pier at night and then swim to shore. Little did they all know that Chip would really be serious about it and actually do it! Kyle joined and it was a very adventurous and crazy next little bit after leaving. I can see that the stories his mom tells me of his HS days and crazy boy activities are probably not exaggerated! LOL!
I left Ivy downstairs the next day to do something and then came down to this - her second time falling asleep in her high chair - struggles of a 3rd child I guess! Also, a few days later she pulled her shoes and bow and necklace off and left them just like this on the ottoman before her naptime - too cute not to take a pic of! Love having a girly girl!
Then on Monday Grammy and Papa arrived and we couldn't have been more excited to have them here during Spring break. We had way too much fun playing with them, going to the beach, reading, hanging out outside with George, going to the Park, the Pier, watching Frozen, having them help us with projects around the house and the housing search that is not so much fun but I really appreciate, and just getting to spend time with them. The kids were in heaven, and I was too!
Good sports about helping the boys build sand castles!
Papa Dave is the best at this type of stuff!
So much fun with Grammy!
Playing with the surfboard!
Buddies!
Reading with Grammy is always fun!
Altho it was a week early we also had the great experience of dyeing Easter eggs - too much fun!
Outside was beautiful so we spent a lot of time out there - Ivy loves the swings at the park and will stay in them the whole time!
Crazy hair!
The last night we went to the Manhattan Creamery for ice cream and then walked down to the pier - it was pretty, altho a little cold!
gorgeous sunset too!
The morning they left Papa played baseball with the boys for awhile outside!
Ivy wanted to play too! And Griff joined too!
Papa read one last story to Ivy!
She didn't want to get down at all! She wasn't wanting papa to leave!
And I was busy working on a birthday cake, and I didn't want my mom to leave either (don't mind I am in my pjs still!)
We all cried when they had to leave! Come back soon!
Thanks for such a fun week. We sure love you guys!
