Well on Laura's spring break I was able to be off of work so I could go with then to visit Grandma Smith. I got the joy of 7 hours of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I still have the song stuck in my head.
It was great to see Grandma again ~~ she of course LOVED seeing everyone. Also she got to enjoy the happiness that is Alyssa.
The boys had allot of fun playing with everyone even their Mom. It is always fun to pile on top of your mother :O)
Of course one of the main highlights was getting to feed the squirrels ~~ Kyle enjoyed putting out the food and CJ enjoyed trying to talk loud enough to scare the squirrel away.
We did allot of playing outside. The boys and I went on adventures everyday exploring the neighborhood and fighting the shredder (a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle thing) along the way. Laura got them bouncing balls, which as you can see Kyle knew just how the use.
CJ helped to entertain his sister by singing and being silly.
We took the boy to McDonalds and while they played on the playground (I occasionally got called up into the tube system to play) the girls all tried on the princess crown. It was decided, in the end, that it looked best on Alyssa.
Here is a picture of me that Kyle took on one of the adventures ~~ the only picture of me that I have. Kyle and I also had allot of fun playing out in the rain. CJ watched us run and splash ~~ Laura let us play for a little bit but then made us come in out of the rain ~~ what a spoil sport.
On the way home we visited Sarah and the new baby.
The boys had fun playing with Emma and Rachael ~~ they laughed, made a mess, and had lots of fun.
Here is a picture of Little Owen ~~ the only picture I had with his eyes open.
I just thought this was a cute picture seeing as we spent allot of time in various playgrounds on this trip. Overall it was allot of fun and great to see everyone.
It looks like I really missed out!! I will have to teach Laura the pleasures of throwing caution to the wind and playing in the rain...
