A GRAND Weekend

I got to see and spend time with all my cute grands this weekend.  Oh My Heck...they are so dang cute and fun!  We got to have Behrenger Friday after school and then over night so that his parents could celebrate TJ's birthday.  Ivy and Zaden got to come with Behr until their dads picked them up and I'm not kidding I get as excited as they do.  I absolutely love that my grands love coming to our house.  Not long after Ivy left I heard a little knock at our door and there was Kamryn and Jordyn.  They wanted to come play because they were bored at gramps.  I love having their cute faces at my house and Zaden was really glad he had someone to play the Wii with. I enjoyed watching Zaden and Kam play together.  Jordyn is fun and very loving. Baby Behr was really good and we all enjoyed him so much.  He slept all night and was laughing at me kissing on him when his mommy came Saturday afternoon to get him.  My grands really are good babies and kids.  They are fun and polite.  They aren't rowdy or destructive.  I know it's because they all have such great parents....it shows!  I smile every time I see one of their cute faces.  I think they are all so darling.  I really could never pick a favorite because I adore them all so much.

Saturday morning I left Behr with Jared and Larry while I went to a Relief Society morning social.  It had a cute winter, snowman theme and the decorations were all very cute.  We had waffles and then some fun entertainment.  The Relief Society goes to a lot of work to unite us sisters and keep us connected to each other.  I appreciate the time and effort they spend on everyone.

I got Behr back when I got home and the boys went out and took care of all the hay that Jared will need for the next week.  Trichelle came before they got done and after visiting for awhile she took Behr home. Trichelle and TJ missed their cute baby.  I enjoyed visiting with Trichelle for a while though before she left.  I always enjoy visiting with my kids when they come over.  I am really trying to stop what I'm doing so that they have my undivided attention but I still need to work on that some. It's hardest to do when I'm in the middle of something...which I usually am unless it's tending the grands then I usually don't do anything else.

When the guys came in from doing the hay and cleaning the corral we decided to hurry and go to Red Lobster before more grands came.  We had just enough time.  It was so yummy and good and even better that we had gift cards and didn't have to spend any of our money.  Food is always better when you don't have to pay for it.  I think I look tired but really I wasn't....I was just having a bad hair day. ☺

We got home in time to greet Justin and Natalie's cute kids.  We got to keep them for a few hours while Justin and Natalie went to their Adult Session for their Stake Conference.  It's so fun having these kids over.  After they played for a while I got them bathed and we watched Curious George with them.  I had forgot about Curious George since it's been a few years that I have watched it. (Zaden use to love it)  I like it because it teaches the kids things as well as entertaining them.  I enjoyed all the hugs and loves this weekend.

We finally got to see cute Sadie on Sunday.  She looked so little sitting at our bar waiting for some ice cream.  Sadie is mobile now and crawls all over and pulls herself up.  She also gets behind people and they don't realize it and knock her over.  She had a bruise on her head already from that happening and got another one on top of the one already there.  So sad but she is pretty tough.  The weekend was complete.  I got to see all the grands.  It usually happens every other Sunday but even though I get to see them all on those days I really don't interact with them like I get to when a few are here at a time.  When everyone is here they all play together which is fun to see too but I really like tending them every now and then and having "our time" together.

 Macie got to spend the night on Sunday for her birthday.  She was so excited!  Macie and I slept on the front room floor because that's more fun than sleeping in the playpen.  She's a wiggler and I kept covering her up through the night.  Other than wiggling and me worrying about her being warm it was a great night.  She went to sleep good and woke up with a cute smile and then a big hug for me.  We made pancakes together because that's what she wanted.  She was so happy to help me stir the batter.  Macie is a great little eater and ate her pancake right up.  She was excited to get dressed so we could go shopping and get her something for her birthday.

I took her to Walmart because it's close and I needed to be back to take Grandma Donna to Costco to make an exchange.  We had over an hour to find something.  It was so fun watching this cute little girl walk up and down the aisles picking up things with such enthusiasm.  She makes me laugh. I thought she might like a princess dress up and when I showed her it and suggested it she said: "No....Yuckie".  I tried again a little later and got the same response....haha she doesn't like princess dresses.  She found some Lego's in a big wagon and I thought that was it...until I showed her a doctor kit thing and then she put the wagon back and wanted the doctor toy...until she saw another set of lego's.  That was it...the Lego's in a box was the gift she wanted and was happy with.  I really love taking the kids shopping.  It's so much fun for me to watch them think and make their decisions.

Macie wanted to go home and play with Kimi and her new Lego's while I took grandma Donna to the store.  We were fast and I was back in an hour.  Macie was ready to go get lunch...actually she thought we were going to have lunch at my house and was sad when we walked away from the kitchen.  Once she understood we were going she was happy again.  She didn't cry but had a pouty face. We went to Arctic Circle because she wanted a corn dog.  She had a great time playing.  She looked so little climbing the big stairs.  She didn't want to leave until her food was gone either and so we were there for a few hours.  It was fun and it was fun having Jaydan and Kimi join us.  I love this little 2 year old and she loves me...and the rest of us!

So Yep this Weekend was Grand....Having All My Grands Over!  Oh how this Gramma loves and adores these cute little people!
