what a crew

What a whirlwind of a week. She arrived on Tuesday afternoon and left by Sunday morning early. We spent two day's at doctor offices.(which we got the results and 4 years clear of cancer, woot woot) One day of shopping (Macy's, Dillard's and Ross). One day getting a pedi/mani (thanks Q-nails). There wasn't much time for relaxing. My boys kept them busy during any down time. In fact i think they were exhausted each night. So was I. We ate some good food (thai cuisine, willowcreek, tucanos and some home cooking). Had good company. We picked up Shaydon from preschool. Got nana a massage. Her trip to Boise are so fast, but we are glad to see her and Greg too. Thanks for making the road trip to COLD Idaho. mom your blood has thinned, but we still love you. Come to Idaho anytime we love and miss you!!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

ps thanks for the lemons, trader joe applesauce & chap stick.

it was a fast week that you were here, but we loved every minute of it. between picking you up and droping you off at the airport (shaydon's favorite part), cleaning my house, dr. appointments, mom's dr. appointments, story time at the library, dinners, teaching you how to coupon, a baby shower, naps, shoping, cooking, cuddling slater, playing with shaydon, opening presents, chatting, phone calls, text, night feedings, teaching you how to use your ipad, downloading photos, costco runs, potty training shaydon, late nights:

i am sure i am missing something?!

love you mom and couldn't of done it with out you we really appreciate you.

sorry we got you sick, not use to those kid germs.

didn't realize how much you were doing at the time until you left!!

Sleep Over with nana

So you know the typical love scene on the beach where two people are running from opposite ends of the beach toward each other? This is what Shaydon and Landon did when they first saw each other. Tyson and Landon entered the parking garage from one side and we were on the other. Shaydon started to running toward Landon yelling his name and then Landon started to run. It was so cute (maybe you had to be there, but they sure missed each other & it showed). It was a fun filled night of mac n' cheese for dinner, playing outside, taking pictures, taking a bath together, watching Charlet's Web (thanks nana), naping and just being kids!!!

What a fun day!!! Thanks....

Do you think they had fun together? It was a tight squeeze with 3 car seats in the back, but it works.

airport or SEAPORT

shaydon has been waiting patiently for weeks to go to the "seaport" to pick up nana. we were ready with our sign, balloons & red vines when she arrived. Grandma gave shaydon her bag of pretzels and an airplane that lights up.

He was so excited.

It's going to be a fun week with nana!!

To: Shaydon & Landon

From: Grandma Nana

Happy Valentines Day

My mom sent this to the kids to open on Valentines day, but we saved it and did it when Landon comes over on Wednesday. They had lots of fun opening them up. Who doesn't like bunny snacks and suckers!!! Shaydon says " can i have some of nana's bunny snacks" he really has a good memory and know who and what people give to him. He gets this from his dad. I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday!!

Thank you Grandma Nana!!!

We love you!!!

Halloween Night

Just leaving the house

Our 1st stop

zack the vampire ~ Aren't they cute.

Since we have had Shaydon it's been a tradition to got over the the Gerratt's and trick or treat. So we started off in our neighborhood about 6:30pm and then went over to the Gerratt's in the Paramount Subdivision, but not with out stoping by the Creekwood Subdivision and visiting Jessica, Teyan and Ethan who were not home, and then the Perkins which were home!! Shaydon has lots of fun with his cousins and kept saying all of their names on the way over "Zack, Lily, Nic" over and over again. We were lucky to have my mom in town for the holiday. She will be here until Tuesday. Shaydon was very disappointed not to see Andi on Halloween and was having a melt down at her house. "Where is Andi" "I want to see Andi" It was cute, but they were not home. Dang those Hessings out having fun!! It was a fun night, but we were pretty tired by the end of the night. We also stoped by Tyson's on the way home to say Hi and Happy Halloween. WE missed papa and mimi! Happy Halloween Everyone!! I was a little disappointed we didn't get to attend the trunk or treat, but Hawaii was worth it!!

Surprise

My mom is here!!! I called my brother this morning because I had something for him and he said he would come and pick it up. Well after about an hour of waiting I got in the truck to go and do my errons. Just as I was pulling out of the driveway he pulled in. Surprise my mom was with him. He picked her and her sister up from the airport that morning, EARLY!! I am sure my reaction was not what my mom wanted, but I guess that's because I was truly surprised. Don't know if ever she has surprised me like this!! She was only here 2 nights and most of it was at the doctors office, (check up and everything looks GREAT, Yea!) but we did get to relax in the afternoon (Landon got to see her too) with her one day and go to lunch (PF Chang's) the next day so Scott could see her. She stayed with a friend from HS who was very nice. It was good to see her, but very hard as well. It's been a few months :( We will take a visit any time, just wish we could of been a little more prepared, it was a Tuesday and I worked all afternoon.

You looked just like a Californian!! Thanks for visiting and spending time with us.

i don't have any pix because as you know i lost my memory card,

thought I would find it by now, but no such luck!!

Mom do you have any you could email me?
