Mom's Visit

My mom was here visiting the past three weeks... she just left on Monday.  It was totally wonderful having her here.  We didn't really do anything exciting, but it was just nice having her around every day.  The boys are totally smitten with her.  She played with them all the time and gave them (almost) anything they wanted.  :)  She's so great with them.  It's wonderful to see that even though they don't see her every day, they remember her and warm up to her right away.  And I was able to get a lot of planting done outside while my mom was entertaining the boys.  We were able to get out to lunch a few times and we went to dinner once by ourselves, which was nice.  It's so hard to live all the way across the country from my Mom - I love her so much.

We didn't take hardly any pictures while she was here!  I just got a few the other day when we went to lunch and a park downtown.  First we stopped at a nursery, though, so I could get a few more plants.  I've been plant crazy lately (that's for another post)!

Here Jackson is plugging his ears because the jets were flying overhead.  To be fair, this nursery is right by the base, so the jets were really loud!

At our Veteran's Park downtown there's a large grassy area that the boys love to run around in and this huge train engine on display.  Jackson loves that train.  

Emmett's new thing is pointing.  It's so totally cute!

Luckily, we got family pictures taken while my mom was here and our photographer was able to take several of my mom with the boys and with our whole family.  I can't wait to see them!

Thanks so much for coming to stay with us, Mom!  We love you to pieces!!!
