Visitors!

A few weeks ago we had some visitors! My mom, dad and Grandma Lowder came to visit us. They were driving to Oklahoma to see my aunt and decided to make the additional 8 hour drive to see us since they were relatively close! Wasn't that nice of them? I'm a bit slow getting this posted because I wanted to get some pictures from my dad that he took before I posted it and I just got them so I'm a bit behind!

They got here around 4:00 Monday and left early Friday morning. So, we had several good full days to do stuff.

Kenner was so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma became his instant friend and he was taking her all over the place and doing everything with her. It was cute! And it makes me laugh every time he says Grandma because of how he says it. He was a little more cautious around Great Grandma just because he hasn't been around her as much but we sure enjoyed having her here as well!

He had to get ready for bed with Grandma. And when he saw her washing her face he wanted some "cream" to put on his face as well.



The kids were enjoying bouncing on Grandma's legs. It was cute so I grabbed the camera. Then of course it ruined the moment and Kenner was no longer cooperating. This is about the best I got.

My grandma and Myer had never seen each other before. So, it was nice to have them meet and get some pictures of Myer with his Great Grandma Lowder.

Myer was being pretty nice for pictures but Kenner was a stinker. We could not get him to sit on the couch by Myer and Grandma for a picture. Here he is whining because I'm making him sit there and Myer is getting a bit unhappy as well at this point.


This one is a bit better, at least Kenner isn't whining, but now Myer is. Geesh! I also liked the picure because my Grandma had just said something and was laughing so she's got a great big smile. I thought it was cute of her!

We tried another night hoping the kids would be more cooperative with pictures and once again Kenner was being a stink. He wouldn't get his thumb out of his both. Grrrr.


Four Generations

We enjoyed going to the Riverwalk and also on a little boatride while there.







We also enjoyed shopping at Hobby Lobby and Garden Ridge. My Grandma is quite the shopper! I was able to find some things I liked to start decorating and with their help I actually got some things hung up. It's amazing what a few little things can add to your house, and do to your pocketbook, he he! Good thing everything was 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby and I went a bit crazy!

So it was a fun week of visiting, shopping, good food and fun! I'm not sure they'll be making the drive back here anytime soon. It's kinda a long trip but we are glad they made it and enjoyed their visit!

That is great that your parents came down! Your mom is so cute! I can only imagine how excited your kids were to have all of them there. It must have been a nice break for you to have some additional entertainment for the kids! Bless all the grandparents in the world lol!

Looks way fun! I am glad they got to visit. I miss our chats with your parents. It is funny how close you get to your friends parents, kind of like a second home.
