The Grandkids!

Talk about the best week of the summer.  Ten days with my grand kids!  Brooke and Hudson were in for the first couple of days, then I had Carter and Finley  the rest of the time.  We had a great visit.  They are awesome babies!  They eat well, play well, and sleep well.  Perfect, I know.  Really, I had a lot of help.  Brooke, Travis, and Hudson were here for two of the days.  Abbey and Justin came and helped two days, and Kirk was home from work for 4 days and Connor was here to help as well.  We tried to get the kids out every day.  We went to the park, swimming, Chuck e Cheese, Costco, the grocery store, Orange Leaf, Toys R Us,  Central Market, and IHOP twice.  Finley and Carter now think anytime they go in a grocery store, they get free samples all throughout the store.  Also, Finley loves the happy face pancakes at IHOP! A favorite trip was to Waco to see Kirk's mom and brother.  They loved the kids.  Carter was a complete doll and Grandma Smith fell in love with him.  Finley loved playing with Uncle Stephen and all the "things" in Grandma's house!  I tried to meet the Smith's halfway in Belton, but that did not work.  Carter does not like his car seat for long trips.  I found the magic though- I small box of animal crackers- worked like a charm!  Here is a collage of our week.  I miss them so much, but so enjoyed our time together.  Thanks for going away Luci and Jeremy and trusting me with your babies- the pleasure was all mine!

Count Your Blessings, Bella
