Grandma & Grandpa

This weekend Matt's parents came to visit us. We were so happy to see them and we had a great time together. It was fun to be able to celebrate Matt's Birthday with them, and since Blake's birthday is just around the corner we had a combined birthday celebration. To start of the day we went to the Museum of Discovery. The museum must have known it was Matt's birthday because they had a special football exhibit. Matt was in heaven! They had all types of hands on experiments. There was also on an electric show, and a place that was only for kids 6 and under that allowed Blake to crawl around and play. I really want to take Blake back there sometime. That evening Matt and Blake opened presents and then we went to dinner at Las Palmas. Afterwards we finished the night with brownies and ice cream!

Bedtime story with Grandpa

Blake is always trying to be a big help.

On Saturday everyone except me went to the Arboretum and to the Pinnacle Mountain visitor center. (I stayed home and had a nice nap. THANKS Mom, Dad and Matt)

We also had fun playing games and being with each other. Mom taught me how to crochet and I am working on a baby blanket. The visit seemed way too short, but we are grateful for the time we got to see them.

It was great having Matt's parents at church - new faces are always good! YEA for naps, too!! I need to rope you into teaching me how to crochet. I had someone try to teach me once, but it didn't stick. :o/
