Grandmay Nancy's Visit!

Sean's mother came down from Utah to visit with us. We are always lucky to have Grandma Nancy come. The kids look forward to it and love spending time with her. Here are some of the highlights of our week together...

We took the kids to the Children's museum with one of my friend's and her daughter the day after she got here. She also took time to eat lunch with katelyn at school which was a highlight for Katelyn. Brayden made a point to make sure Grandma got to eat lunch with him too at his preschool. The kids didn't have school that weekend so it was nice to have more time with Grandma.






We took Grandma to Lakewood Park and a place called Old Mill. It's a beautiful area to go walking and let the kids play.



I love these pictures of the kids with Grandma...












Another fun and exciting highlight was that we got to see the Broadway play Wicked. It was so fun! We have been listening to the sound track ever since. Loved it!




We made a little stop at Target one day and it turned into "fun with nut crackers." Who would have known that my kids love to play with nut crackers, but they were a hit with all three of them. Grandma found a ballerina one for Katelyn and she sat with it reading her book. Brayden found a pirate one and was lining them all up sword fighting. Nathan couldn't stop laughing at them "biting" his finger. It was pretty cute! Kids remind us to find joy in the simplest things.







On Saturday we all rode bikes on a river trail at a huge park called "Burns park." It is one of our favorite trails. So beautiful!






We got some cute pictures on one of the playgrounds there too...






On Sunday before church Grandma sneaked some cute pictures of the kids with their kittens.




We went to a place called "Pinnacle Mountain" Sunday afternoon. We had a lot of fun at the park there. There are a couple of funny videos of Sean and Nancy on the see-saw I will have to post here soon, but here are some of the kids and I.





The day before she went home, we took Brayden and Nathan downtown by the Arkansa river where there are lots of shops and a river trail. We went to the Peabody Hotel where they let the ducks march to the pond for their morning feeding. Pretty cute!





Sean was very excited about his new flat screen tv. Grandma got this picture of him doing the splits.



Nathan also started standing on his own more with Grandma's encouragement. He's getting closer!



Thanks Grandma for a great time! We love you and miss you already!
