Home Sweet Home!!!

After our California Adventures, we were so excited to finally make it to Papa and Grandma's house!!!  

Kaden had some special time with Papa and we went to see the helicopter and firetruck at the Monster truck show. 

Some of my dear friends from childhood were in town from the coast and they met with us at Dewar's for some ice cream.  Kimberly and her mom Penney were instant new friends for Kaden and Katherine.  They just loved them! 

Then it was time for some backyard fun...

My mom was so sweet to plan swimming lessons for the kids. 

And my dad was so sweet to teach our kids how to mow...

Mama and Katherine had their first mani/pedi together.:)

And then Katherine had her first haircut...:)

But I guess she still needed Papa's hat...:)

And his shoes...

Kaden took care of watering the yard...

And then he was ready to relax...

When it was time for Karson to fly back to see us, Katherine insisted on sleeping out in the living room to wait for him. So sweet!

A few days after Daddy arrived, we were able to head to the coast for some relaxation.:)

And I'm not sure who enjoyed it more...us, the kids, or the grandparents.:)

We taught Kaden and Katherine how to dip their cookies in milk. Such a huge accomplishment, right?

And then it was time to go...but not before they had one last snuggle with Grandma...

It was sooooooo hard to go...especially at 2 am in the morning...gotta love her sweet bedhead.

We just were incredibly thankful for the opportunity to spend this much time with our family. Can't wait until next time!!!
