Grandma came to visit!

My mom came to visit last Wednesday night to Monday evening.  We enjoyed having her here and had lots of fun.  She helped me and spent some time with Michael by bathing him and putting him to bed.

 

  On Monday we went downtown, so I turned in my membership to the Children's Museum.  We had a great time.  Michael loved it and it was fun to let him run around and try new things.  He really liked this section of the ball area where he could put a ball into the basket controlled by air.

 

  

 After the museum we ate at Rainforest Cafe.  The food was great and we were entertained by a gorilla coming to life every 10-15 minutes. There was also a thunder lightening storm every half hour.  Michael told me at one point that he was scared with tears in his eyes.  I told him it was just pretend and for fun.  He was then able to get over it and enjoy it.

Things to remember: 

• Saw Toy Story 3 at the movie theater- technically Michael's third movie, second was Shrek The Final Chapter.  The first was a movie for Joe and I when he was young.
• Went swimming at the pool on post.
• Bought a few items at Joann's to alter a couple dresses, after I have the baby.
• Attended church.  Mom enjoys our ward & thinks we have some fun women in RS.
• Walked the mall & Mom found a swimsuit cover up & a cute bathing suit top on clearance for Hawaii. 

Have I mentioned my entire family is going to Hawaii?  Two months after I have the baby, in November.  Also Tyler is engaged and is getting married there.  We are staying home.  Bummer.  My idea of going to Hawaii does not include a 2 month old though.  So that's what I get for having another baby in September.  Okay I'm done with my rant now.

We can't wait for my mom to come back when the baby comes.  When dropping my mom off at the airport Michael was sad we weren't going either. I told him we didn't have a ticket to get on the plane with my mom.  He said all teary eyed that he wanted a ticket.    We miss you mom & look forward to your return!
