Fun With Grandma

We are so grateful my mom came to stay when Tessa was born.  She was here for over two weeks and it wasn't enough! The kids keep asking for her to come back-she's way more fun than Nate and I!  She's more on the ball than either of us when it comes to dishes and laundry, Nate said every time he went to check the sink it was empty.  And she just jumps right into our schedule and keeps the kids getting to where they need to be.  She did something special with each of them and they love her so much!

 Grandma and her newest grandbaby.  Tessa yawns all the time, huge yawns.

 This is Sophie playing baseball in the front yard, I have no idea when this occurred, but my mom is way better at taking pictures than I am.  She takes them more often and I always download her memory cards before she goes to see what I missed.

 She took the kids to Boondocks and they had a fabulous time.  They all got soaking wet, played laser tag and mini golf and ate lunch.  I stayed home and slept-which was sooo nice!

 She always remembers to get a picture with her and all the kids, they love these.  She sometimes puts their adventures into albums, they love looking through those.  Sophie thinks they all belong to her and is confused as to why there are no pictures of her and small Jack and Bella together.

 She took pictures while I took video of Isabella's gymnastics exhibition.  Grandma is always interested in the kids activities and I was really glad she got to be here for Bella's meet, they only do it once a year, so it's a hard one to catch.

 And I had really forgotten how much my mom loves baseball.  I think she kind of wanted to stay to see the end of the season.  She got much better pics of Jack than I have.  I didn't make it to the games the week Tessa was born, but got a play by play.  Jack played catcher this year and did an amazing job.  He has such a good arm and really hustles behind the plate. 

She was here for Isabella's birthday and brought her some really fun presents.  The girls have played with Rapunzel's tower a lot since it arrived. She always finds amazing deals in her small town Walmart and the kids benefit greatly.

The kids had a great time!  We all did!  I know she was pretty tired when she got home but hopefully she will recover quickly and be back soon!
