Grantham's Visit!

We love it so much when we get visitors and it means so much to us that they travel 12 hours to come all the way to Idaho from Las Vegas, by car....not plane!

They brought the heat with them so the kids cooled down with ice cream!




We visited the Roaring Springs water park and had a blast. Grandma Kay was so great! She went down all the tube rides (her very first time EVER) and loved it! Thanks for being such a great sport :) Amy, who is 5 months pregnant, was also such a trooper and was up for anything!




I love this picture of Dave and the kids. It makes me smile :)


We went down town to feed the ducks. It was such a hot day and the kids were getting a little cranky, or was it the grown-up's???

Macie feeding the ducks


Dalan and his pile of sticks for his "camping fire" (I am a little concerned that this little guy is ObSeSSeD with fire. For reals.)


Dave krinkling his nose like Khloe does. It is so funny she blows in and out and does this cute thing with her nose and it makes us giggle! (Dave looks pretty cute doing it too!)


This is what she looks like!


Felicia and Khloe!


All the cute cousins!


This is the funnest candy store and everytime the Grantham's come out...we visit the SWEET SHOPPE and it sure put a smile on everyone's faces!


We did more swimming at our neighborhood pool. The kids were pulling out all the tricks to show off for Grandma Kay!

I know it looks like Dalan is about to hit his head on the side of the pool. This boy is CRAZY in water! There were a whole bunch of teenagers in the pool cheering him on and rating his dives, flips, cannon balls, twisty turns in mid air...and really making him feel extra big. Oh boy!


Macie is such a little poser...she wanted to be in on the trick action, and was happy with a simple innocent jump in the water. Nothing too crazy for this one!


Miss Khloe showing us she can clap her hands!!


Doing our best to just sit and look pretty at the pool!!


We think Grandma Kay is fantastic! She is such a loving grandma and is amazing with my kids. I guess raising 7 kids of her own taught her a world of patience, endurance, and now she can truly enjoy each moment with her grandchildren.


She plays games with them. Goes outside in the hot heat to push them on the swings. She colored with Macie at her every request. She let Dalan show her all his tricks, and apparently he reminds her of Dave as a kid. She Loved and played with Khloe. She is soooo fabulous and we only wish she wasn't so far away...


The kids loved being able to have COUSINS TIME with Maddy and Felicia! They played so great together and it was so fun to watch them play and be silly!




We had such a great time. NOW, if only we could get them all to move here!!

That post made me tired just looking at all the fun. The picture of Dave and the kids on the slide made me smile too. Grandma Kay must be exhausted by now, but she is a better sport than me. I am NOT getting in a bathing suit even if it is 110 degrees. Looks like you had a blast, and because you are a super hostess everyone will be back before you know it.
