I Need A Vacation From My Vacation…Not Really, But It Sounded Good…
The last three weeks have been a whirlwind…Andy our youngest
gran turned one and Auntie Christie and this Grammy made a trip south for a birthday
party.Dave stayed behind to tend to the
dogs and sort through more junk before the “KIDS” came up the following weekend for a week’s
stay.
We had a wonderful time at the party on Saturday, however my shingles were
still acting up and staying in the house was almost a must for me.Andy had a bouncy ball party.
Birthday Boy in the pool, just chillin!
I swear that child, actually both boys, have
such creative parents and his grandmother on his dad’s side of the family is so
talented in making cakes.I
wish I had
a tenth of her talent in cake baking and decorating.She made both the wedding and groom’s cakes for Heather and J’s wedding.
Andy's cake!

While taking a group picture we all got sprayed with silly string, needless to say it was a complete surprise.
J's face was the target as his face was covered with Silly String!

On that Sunday we all packed up and headed to Tyler, TX to the Caldwell Zoo.What a wonderful place.It was very humid outside but overcast which made it bearable.

Noah sang the
Sheep song the whole time he was at the zoo. Back story…his Auntie Christie was
showing J the Taylor Swift song, Trouble with the cut-ins of screaming
goats (he calls them sheep pronounced seep).Noah saw it and it scared him,
poor baby, but daddy helped him to understand that it was only a song and
nothing to be afraid of, so instead of crying when he saw it he starting
singing the song constantly, it was hilarious.
We came home and had 5 days to get the house ship shape before
the grans arrived.Having a three year
old and a one year old running around, you had to get down to their level and
see what dangers might be lurking, thank goodness for door gates.
This last week was chaotic, Heather and J tried to cram so many things
into one week that we were running from one event to another.With concerts, movies, zoo trips, wedding
anniversaries, pedicures, children’s museum visits, haircuts, meeting up with
friends…it was dizzying to say the least.
You have been busy! Enjoyed the pics. There is so much to do and see in the OKC area that trying to do it all in one week is impossible. Hope you get some rest.

ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable post to read....great photos, too, Kiddo.
ReplyDeleteThose photos were taken on my camera phone. I thought they turned out rather well for being a phone.
