I Love Grandma, She Loves Me!

Grandma Swensen arrived late on Tuesday night.  Parker & Macey got to stay up late and go to the airport to pick her up.  Wednesday after school we spent a few minutes at the park at the end of our street.  It's only been two days and both kids have asked if they can come home early from school or better yet just stay home.  I have conceded that they will be allowed to miss one whole day of school sometime during the three weeks that she is here but not to incessantly bug be about it every day.

She has also already played the game 'Life' with them while John & I were gone last night to Young Men/Young Women.

Fun Times w/Grandma's

It was fun to have (2) Grandmas in Florida at the same time. What a treat! Thank you Grandma Smith and Grandma Swensen for taking a little bit of your time to spend it with us. We love you.



Then we were able to take a detour to Washington before our final destination of Provo, UT. We were able to spend some time there with Grandma Lois and other family. Thanks for coming to see us. Who was it that got 'the last word' anyway?

Grandma Swensen's Visit for our Momentous Moments of Life

Grandma Swensen visited for Austin's graduation Fri., 5/29 and Macey's baptism Sat., 5/30. We always wish she could stay and play longer. The last couple years her visits seem to revolve around an 'event' and so we don't get the fun time and productive project time she is so good at helping with. One of these years.

Austin's Graduation!

Our 'happy-to-be graduated' graduate and his family - Riley, Parker, Austin - graduate himself, Dad-John, Mom-Melanie and Macey.

Austin and his dad. Having them side-by-side in this photo I really can see the resemblance between them.

Austin and his Grandma Swensen. We are so glad she is able to come and share these once-in-a-lifetime moments with us.

Grandma Swensen ironing Austin's graduation 'gown.' She didn't melt it this year! Last year when she went to iron Riley's she melted a hole in it! Being the awesome and very talented Grandma that she is she was able to save the day last year by sewing the hole in a small seam and fixed it right up.
