Visiting with Grandma Great

My sweet friend Sarah is going through a hard time right now. She just lost her Grandpa and it made me think of how we need to not waste a single minute and enjoy our family while we have them here. My Mom asked if I wanted to go with her to go visit my Grandma and I told her that I would love to. My girls and I love to visit with my Grandma.

The girls always have a great time. It was a beautiful day to play outside and then they decided to play with Grandma's walker:) Makenna kept walking across the room saying, "I'm old....I'm so so old!!" It was hilarious. I have no idea where she got that from:)

And then of course Jordyn does everything that Makenna does so she had to have a run with the walker:)

They also took turns doing sommer saults and showing Grandma what they do in their dance and gymnastics classes! I hope she enjoyed it. We did:)

Sarah and her girls

Sarah and her girls came over to play today. They flew in yesterday and we got to spend the whole afternoon today with them. The cute curly headed girls played hard!! They had a great time together. I have so much fun with Sarah and loved her visit. The girls went from playing in the play room to watching Aladdin to playing outside. We had some yummy pizza for dinner and it was hard to get them to eat because they just wanted to play.

There were a ton of ladybugs out in the yard....

and the girls loved looking at them all.

I couldn't get them off the trampoline. They were on and off of it all afternoon.

And best buds.....love ya Sarah....I love it when you are in town;) I can't wait until Wednesday!

Sarah's coming and an update on Makenna's leg!

My bestest friend Sarah is coming into town this week!! I can't wait! I'm going to have to get busy on cleaning my house though;) I have been concentrating on having fun with my kiddos, i.e. bowling, park, etc. but my house doesn't look so hot because of it. I'm glad I did though. Cleaning will wait but my kids will keep on growing before my eyes. We are planning on just hanging out and letting the kids play when she comes. Bella and Makenna haven't seen each other since last Christmas so I'm excited!! We are going to order pizza and visit while the girls play. Especially since they will have just arrived the day before and will probably be tired. Then next week, Sarah and I are going to Phantom of the Opera! She has never been and it's an awesome show! And then I get to see her one more time before she leaves and it just happens to be on Makenna's birthday!! I love that Bella will be here for her birthday and we will definitely be doing some fun stuff. I will eventually be getting to the bowling and park pics sometime this week. Just not tonight.Ü I have to go to the dentist tomorrow for a couple of fillings which I'm not too thrilled about. But it will be over and then maybe I will have the desire to blog;)

And just an update on Makenna's leg. We finally got into her doctors appointment this last week and got approval to play at the playground and do stuff (hence the fun activities from last week). He also said we need to come back in six months to make sure the bones in her leg aren't growing at different rates. We also had to deal with the not so nice nurse again!! She's really shouldn't be in pediatrics. She does not do well with kids. At least the little kids. Maybe she is better with teenagers...who knows. Thankfully the doctor is nice but still!! She does all the x-rays and all the extra stuff. Makenna seriously cried and moped the whole way there because she didn't want to see this lady. My mom and I kept trying to calm her and tell her that we won't let her hurt her (she cut her on both sides of her leg while removing the cast) See here to remember (she screams hot when she was cutting her and I had no idea;( No wonder!) She cried for at least a week and a half after that saying she didn't want to see the mean lady again!! It was so sad. It was horrible making her see a lady that was mean to her. She pretty much freaked out like I thought she would. I told the nurse that she pretty much traumatized her and that she cried about it for a week and a half afterwards because I wanted her to know that she was mean. The nurse just chuckled and said, "yeah, some kids take it different. Some kids say it tickles." Um.....no lady!!! You came at her with a saw, gave her no warning or explanation for a little girl and cut her twice and you expect her to say it tickles?!?!?! I was just like whatever! And then we go to take the x-ray and I had told Makenna that she can take her Woody doll with her and he will help her. Well, we get back there and Makenna freaks out because we forgot her Woody. I said, "Oh, hang on, we forgot Woody!" She snottily remarks, "there can't be anyone else in the radiation room!!" Um....it's her doll!!! First of all, I came with two females....my mom and Jordyn and second I wouldn't name my son Woody so who the heck do you think I was talking about??? Weirdo!! Anyway, we got Woody and we finally got the x-ray and the go ahead to play. And needless to say we have been playing a lot which I will have to blog about soon! And I'm happy to say that we won't have to see that mean lady for six more months!!!

Move back Sarah and James!!!

Our very good friends Sarah and James came to visit us!! I was so excited to see her. I miss her so much!! We have so much in common and we get along so well. Plus, our husbands get along and our kids play well. We both have two girls and the oldest ones have played together since they were babies. So, I was sooo bummed when they moved to Texas. We still talk all the time but it's so nice when we get to actually hang out. And this time, James was here too so the men got to hang out as well. We made them pancakes and just let the kids play while we visited. I was so sad to see them go. The time went by way too fast and I'm already looking forward to the next time we see them. Fortunately for me, Sarah has family that live here and her parents are not very far either so whenever she comes to see them, I get to see her too. Love ya Sarah!!!




Our cute curly haired girls!!

I thought it would be fun to add pictures of our girls when they were little babies. This was early 2006. I can't believe they were that little once.

And this at the end of July, 2006. Our girls have grown so much over this last year. When did Makenna finally get her hair???
