Bowling Grandma

We've had another fun week last week. Our favorite part was when Grandma (aka, Bowling Grandma) came to visit and spend the night.  

When Dad's gone, the kids try to drive me crazy, but I still think it's fun, so this is what they did this last weekend to make as much noise as possible while I changed sheets and started laundry.  They had a lot of fun trying out new "drum sticks" from the kitchen drawer. . . . wire whisks, stiring spoons, forks, rubber basting brushes, etc.   

I had Friday off and we wanted to go spend one last day at the Roy Aquatic Center.  We got all dressed up, only to find out they were closed for the day.  Dang!  So then we went to the Splash Pad in Layton at Ellison Park.  Everyone LOVED the slide, even Dad!  Lots of fun!  It was kind of funny because towards the end, all the kids at the splash pad were more interested in watching a guy play tennis next door instead of playing at the splash pad.  

I love it when I find the kids being nice to each other and enjoying time quietly enjoying each other and a quiet activity like a game on their iPad together or a movie.  

We love to dance around to loud music at our house.  Noah lately, doesn't like to listen to the music or to dance and begs us to turn it off unless I can find a station with rap, hip hop or dance music and then he gets all into it.  This time, we were rocking out in the car when we pulled into the garage, so we left the music on loud in the car, rolled down the windows and opened the back and danced in the driveway. I'm sure it was quite a show for the neighbors.  

Grandma came to visit us this week and we had a great time feeding the ducks and playing bowling on the Xbox. Grandma enjoyed helping Tayton bowl. The kids think Bowling Grandma coming to town is like Christmas, Halloween,  and Easter all rolled into one!  All they did for 3 days prior is ask when bowling Grandma was coming. We took her to the train stop and watched her leave. Tayton got quite upset and started crying saying she didn't was bowling Grandma to go. We really need to have her come more often. Here are some pics from her visit.

and that's all folks!
