A little catch-up

Last Sunday I found myself in a little bit of a pickle because my babysitter wasn't able to come Monday to watch my kids while I went to work so I called my mom and asked if she would be willing and she said YES! She arrived promptly at 9:30, but since I didn't have to leave until 10:45 we chatted for a while and then I left. She was so great and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being willing to do that last minute for me. When I left, she had brought the kids bubbles so they were outside on the back deck having a great time. I'm not sure that they even cared I left :)



We talked her into staying over night with us. That is always fun to have a grandma sleep-over. We stayed up late catching up and then crashed for the night. The next day we got ready and went to run some errands. We were all loaded up in the Yukon and when I went to start it- it was DEAD! So mom and I pushed it out of the garage, positioned her car to be able to jump it, and hooked it all up all by ourselves. I was quite proud of that ;)



After a few minutes of letting it run we headed down to Bountiful and kept our fingers crossed that it would start again. Luckily we had no other problems, but we always positioned it so that someone could jump it again if needed.



Since Sean's grandma passed away it really made me realize how precious time is so I wanted to go and see my Grandma and take some pictures so that I would have them.

Grandma & kiddos

The whole gang

It was nice to visit with her and let her know that we loved her. I think nursing homes are such sad places. I felt bad leaving her all alone. I definitely need to make a bigger effort to go and visit her more often. I think it is great for my kids as well. She is a sweet lady.

After we left Grandma's we went to Pei Wei for lunch. It was tasty and we all devoured everything on our table.

When we came home mom decided to head home as well. So we gave her big hugs and waved goodbye. Thanks again mom for everything!
