Snipbits

Brian's parents were here for about a month. We enjoyed spending time with them, the extra time for dates, and are so thankful for all they did for us!!

Here are a few pictures of our time with them:
Being spoiled by Sharon

Jackson loved having Papa and Grandma watch him play basketball

All of us

Sunday morning donuts with Papa

Watching Jackson swim

:)

Lincoln loved playing with Grandma all by himself

Thankful for so many great memories with them!

A Few More

A few more pictures from our time with Papa and Grandma that never got posted.

So glad they finally got to watch Jackson swim!!

Beautiful weather called for hot tub time!

They also got to cheer him on at a basketball game!

Jackson loves playing pretend, doing puzzles, and reading with Grandma.

And of course, some fishing with Papa!

So thankful for our time together with them! 

Visitors

We were blessed to have some visitors for the last 2 weeks. 

They were able to go to church with us. Jackson even went to the service with us and copied down verses and sang the songs.

The boys fished alot, and Sharon kept my house cleaned, clothes put away, and food on the table!

We spent a Saturday at the Science Museum with them.

Jackson was like Jack with his map and wanting to write down facts in his notebook!

 Jackson has been watching Night at the Museum, so he was beyond giddy to go to the museum. 

He even got to help with a science experiment.

Lincoln had fun, but wanted to be in no pictures. 

 Fun morning together.

 So thankful for our time with family, but wish TX and WI weren't so far apart!

Papa and Grandma

Papa and Grandma left after a great 2 week visit. We all had a great time with them. I know the boys will miss playing with them a lot, and we will miss their help with the house/yard work, dinner, and the boys!

Soaking up the sun and warm weather that is not in Wisconsin.

Jackson loves playing with Grandma. Here there are veterinarians taking care of all the sick of animals. I wish had some pictures of Papa and Lincoln playing outside. They would play in the sand, drive Lincoln's cars, and go to the park.

Of course, Papa had to get some Spring Creek BBQ while he was here. My boys like it just as much!

Enjoying the beautiful weather and company at dinner

So thankful that Papa and Grandma were able to watch Jackson play football.

Sharon and Mel watched the boys overnight so we could celebrate Brian's birthday. We enjoyed a night out at the Crowder concert, hotel stay, and a massage in the morning. 

Such a cute picture

Saying good bye is never easy, but we are thankful for the time we spent with them.

Papa and Grandma

This is a bit overdue, but better late than never! 

Here are some pictures with Papa and Grandma from their time here in January.

Playing with Gella and Jella:)

Sunday morning doughnuts with Papa

The hard part of living far away is not getting to spend much time with our families. We are thankful we get to see them as much as we do. And, just 7 days until we see my parents!

A Quick Visit

Mel and Sharon just returned home from a brief visit to see us. Jackson couldn't wait for them to get here. He stayed home a few days from school to play with Papa and Grandma.

Jackson talked Papa into getting him breakfast almost every morning! They also played a lot of soccer at the park. 

 Lincoln gave them lots of smiles and laughs. 

 We are all spoiled when they are here. 

 We are thankful for time with family,

and wish Wisconsin wasn't so far away!

Life With Papa and Grandma

Papa Mel and Grandma Sharon spent the last week and a half with us.

 

They got to meet Lincoln for the first time.

Brian and I went to see Internship and got out several nights by ourselves.

Papa, Brian, and Jackson did some fishing. Unfortunately, Jackson caught a bigger fish at Bass Pro.

Jackson swam twice a day with Papa and Grandma.

A few trips to Menchies,

 and good eats.

Boys trip to Monsters University in 3D.

And lots and lots more!

We are so thankful for your help and love.

 

Time Together

This week has flown by!

 

Jackson has enjoyed playing with Papa and Grandma and going to preschool a little late and leaving early. We have been enjoying a lot of time outside swimming and at the park. We are also being blessed by a clean house, dinner, and laundry and yard work being done for us!

One trip to Menchies after Jackson's baseball practice

Brian and I enjoyed a date day on Saturday. We enjoyed shopping and lunch out together!

  While we were gone, Papa took Jackson fishing. They dug up their own worms.

 Not much luck.

 Caught one little fish, but not big enough to keep.

Jackson was upset because he wanted to eat fish for lunch. So, they took him to Long John Silver. Ha!
