Spring Break

My mom and our/her friend Cherry came out to visit for Spring Break and Payton's birthday.  It was great having them here.  They decided to take the scenic route and drive.  Mom got a speeding ticket on the way here, ($200 for out of state, yikes!)  She wasn't too happy after that when we kept calling her and telling her to hurry. ha ha.  We kept reminding her they didn't have to stop at every Walmart on the way. :)  The kids were happy though cause they arrived with lots of toys and surprises for them. 
Since Payton broke his arm, we spent several days lounging at home til he felt better.  Grandma got brave and let Halle put makeup on her.  So beautiful. 
 The kids were then equally brave and let Grandma put makeup on them. 
The kids just love when Grandma comes to visit.  I can't say I don't either.  It's like Mary Poppins, well, without the magic and umbrella, and I guess it's not.  BUT, she's got the bag and plays with the kids all day.  We were equally spoiled to have Cherry too.  The kids hung all over her too and she was so nice to bring them toys and make fun crafts.  I grew up living across the street from her and we learned a lot of neat things about her we never knew.  She was so nice to come with mom all that way. 
The weather was nice and we were able to get outside for a picnic.  Well, until Payton broke his arm and then they were kind enough to watch Halle and entertain themselves at our boring house. :) 
This picture cracks me up!! ha ha.  We went out to dinner for Payton's birthday and it depicts so perfectly that they are arguing over who gets to pay!  They did that a lot.  ha ha.  They were both so good to us and we can't wait to go visit them so we can return the love. We were sad to see them go. 
We then put the house back together and headed up to Andy's parents for the weekend.  All the cousins were there again and it was great weather to get out and play. 
They have mostly finished the deck.  It' looks really nice.  I believe they have decided to now extend it all the way down the property so it will be exciting to see how it all turns out. 
It was nice enough to take the boat out.  Boo loves the boat to say the least.  This dog is so spoiled! 
It was a fun weekend and the kids got to have a sleep over, run, jump and  play themselves into exhaustion.  Grandpa and Grandma got last week to themselves and then we're all up there again for Easter. Can't wait. :)
