Gramma DeeDee Went Home

Wow, it has been a while since I updated. I wish that I could get to it more often, but I just keep myself so busy. My mom and dad got to visit this weekend! We had a really good time. Mom flew in on Thursday morning and then we went to this really cool store called Ikea. It has furniture and everything else you can imagine. Kelby loved the ball room they have to play in. She cried when I had to pick her up because she didn't want to leave.

My dad got to fly in on Thursday night because he was supposed to be flying from Spokane to Billings, but they messed up his flight and he talked them into flying out here until Sunday! That was a cool chance to see him. The girls love to see Grampa. They make him be their horse and play with them. On Friday we went to Chuck E. Cheese. The girls had a great time. When it was time to buy something with their tickets, Kelby said, "I want that tooty pillow!" It was a woopee cushion. It cracked us up when she got it and tried with all her might to make that thing toot by jumping up in the air and falling full force on the ground, missing the pillow. The funny thing is that she kept doing it over and over again right in the middle of the restaurant floor. Those toys made them happy for hours!

On Saturday, my mom and I got to go out for the afternoon while my dad watched the girls. I think the girls had fun with Grampa. My mom and I did. I got to go to a cool scrapbooking thing at the store in Bellingham and also we did a little shopping at the mall and went out to lunch. Mike was helping his brother Zach move to their new house. Their new house is really big and comfortable. I'm so excited for them.

On Sunday we went to cousin Emma's birthday party. Four years old already. A piñata, pizza, cake, and yummy ice cream kept us busy for the afternoon. I'll be taking Emma down to Bellvue for her birthday present. There is a "Build-A-Bear Workshop" there where she'll be able to build her own teddy bear. I can't wait.

Mom and I just kept pretty busy the next to days...well, maybe we were a little lazy. I did get her to stamp some cards with me! That was really fun. Now I guess I'll have to get back to real life again.

Before all these festivities, I can't really remember what we were up to. I'll get some pictures up soon. It always takes me a while to get the pictures downloaded and prepared for the website. Thanks for checking in on us.
