Grandparent Visit

Last weekend, Meme and Poppy came up for a short visit. They came in on Thursday and left (with Meg) on Saturday morning.

Poppy was so happy to see Gunner again. He even said "Meg, you should be happy I told you I was giving you this puppy, because if I hadn't, I would have kept him." He's so funny.

Thursday night, we ate an early dinner (without Jarrad - he was at the lake with Nick) at Outback and then sat on the back porch. Jarrad finally joined us around 8.

Friday night was low key as well. We went to an early dinner at Mexican Inn and came home. Meme, Poppy & Meg had to get up early and get on the road because they were meeting my grandparents for lunch on the way home, so we didn't want to stay up too late.

Friday night, Poppy laid down on the floor with Gunner and Dixie for some puppy time.

Bath time with Meg

Meg is staying home with me now until she starts Kindergarten. I love having her around the house everyday and she has been so good.

Last week, she was playing outside in the back yard with her baby and the baby got dirty. Meg came in and asked if I could help her. I told her that I would start a bath for her and she could bathe the baby doll. She was so excited.

By the time I got a charged battery in my camera and back into the bathroom, she was getting baby out of the bath to dry her off. It was so cute to watch her.

Meg laid a towel on the ground so she could lay her baby down. Gunner thought that she was laying it down for him and quickly circled around and laid down.

I told her to move into the extra bathroom where there was counter space to dry her baby. She laid down the towel and wrapped the baby up. It was so adorable!

HUH?

For the life of me I can't remember what she was telling me, but I'm sure it was very, very, interesting!

My little monkey

Meg has never been a big climber. The heights of her climbing started and stopped at climbing onto the couches. I never had to worry about her climbing up on the counters, tables, bathroom sinks, etc. She was perfect content just staying close to the ground...

Well, a switch has flipped and this girl is into climbing everything. I was able to snap a few pictures of her climbing around on her play set. She loves hanging upside down from that bar (which, makes me super nervous).

She's even mastered climbing the monkey bars so she can sit and swing on the swing bar. I'm so proud of her for trying things that she was very scared of doing before, but this can only mean one thing...my little girl is growing up. And, there isn't anything that she will let get in her way!

After a long evening of monkeying around, she had to take a rest. I couldn't resist snapping this picture. She looks so grown up!

Fourth of July Fun

Meg, Jarrad and I met our wonderful friends, The Sorensons, out at the lake for the 4th this year for some lake swimming and fireworks watching. Meg couldn't wait to get into the lake, so as soon as we got to the campsite, we headed straight down to the lake for a swim.

Suz and Colton joined us. Colton did so awesome. At first, he didn't want to get in, but after Suz dragged him into the lake, he had a blast. She actually had to drag him OUT of the lake when it was time to go back to the camp site.

Once it got dark, we all moved down to the bank so we could see the fireworks. Meg usually loves fireworks, but this year she decided to climb all over Seth instead. Tanner was so adorable, she kept saying "I've never seen fireworks before". She'd say it every time a firework went off.
