Cracker Barrel and Playing

Everytime we visit St. George we have to visit Cracker Barrel. Mike and I discovered Cracker Barrel when my brother lived in Arizona and we would go visit him. We were so excited to hear the were building one in St. George. The rule for cracker barrel is wake up and go, no make up or beautifying. Annie even went in her jammies.

This is a parent's nightmare- goodies at your child's eye level.

They all have to touch and they all want one or two.

Most of the gang, minus Karen who was taking the picture.

Each evening, afternoon and morning the kids played with Grandma and Grampa's toys. They had so much fun playing in the yard.

Karen was so patient. She walked up and down this hill 100's of times with the kids teaching them how to ride the bike. It was a little too big so none of their legs reached the pedals all the way.

Anthony got really good at riding.

Grandpa

This little patch of dirt was a HIGE hit. I almost ran out of clean clothes. I finally just quit changing them.

Smile For Grandpa!

Grandpa Pops gave each of the kids a Book of Mormon for Christmas. They were so excited to go to church so they could bring their book.

This is what my picture looked like until . . .

I told them to smile for Grandpa.

I even got Jake to smile in this one.

I thought this one was cute too.

My Little Turkeys

Grandma, Grandpa, Rori and the dog (Taylor) came on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The kids were so excited! My kids love dogs until they get too close and then they are scared. They pray for Taylor everytime we say prayers as well as every relative and friend we have. I was very surprised when they wanted Grandma to bring her dog to our house. They talked about it all the time. It turned out the grandma's dogsitter couldn't watch her so Grandma got to bring her to our house. Oh boy! We had so much fun! Good thing our landlord doesn't allow pets, I have an excuse not to get a dog besides the one that I am just mean! My kids love Taylor!

Annie LOVES her grandpa. She always has like him, ever since she was a tiny baby. The have a special bond that I am sure will last forever.

Grandma brought turkey hats.

Aunty Rori being silly!

Grandpa getting loved on.

Poor grandpa getting jumped on.

I had to move the "dresser" because the kids thought it was so fun to jump off of. It is now in the entry way and sporting a new shade of stain.

Jake was so tired. He fell asleep on the ride back. When we got back to the car he just curled up and continued sleeping.

Good thing I brought the potty chair!
