Grandma Does It Better....

My wonderful mother spent 9 long days watching our kids while we vacationed in Hawaii. She never complained.. but, I know from experience that this was no vacation for her! It's funny because when I took her to the airport she mentioned how she was sure the kids were going to tattle on her for all of the things that she did wrong. Quite the opposite I must say...I have heard a lot of "Grandma does that faster..." "Grandma makes that yummier..." "But Grandma lets me..." etc.. etc.. I'm so thankful that we could leave our most prized possessions at home and not have to worry about them the whole time! Thank you mom! I love you!


Grandma Gail's Week In Review


Easton home sick for 2 days...Lucky guy had Grandma to take care of him. This is what I always wish for when I'm sick!
Grandma even let's Emmy break the rules! (for those of you who don't know ...Emmy is forbidden from entering the "pretty room" and does not sit on the furniture!)
Going on a picnic...the picnic was interrupted when a random dog ate Easton's sandwich...this was the source of much laughter!
Der looking quite tired...eating his delicious bowl of Fruity Pebbles. He says Grandma Gail is just like an older version of me....I took that as a compliment!
Grandma shared the bed with Emmy....now that takes patience! I'm pretty sure the dog is missing Grandma at bed time!
"Why can't we sleep in your room? Grandma let's us!"
Apparently Grandma makes the best tacos...and she makes them faster than me! Jace had 3! He was hungry!

That's too funny! I guess that's how kids are supposed to feel about their grandma's...Grandma Gail must be doing something right:)

What a great MOM! My kids like my mom and dad much better than me and Ty. Grandma lets us do that or grandpa said we could. I guess that is what being a grandparent is.

Der had only good things to say about you too. We appreciate you taking on an extra kid. Thanks again Grandma Gail!!

That is so funny!! I am so glad that I am not the only one dealing with the aftermath of vacationing without the kids. Grant told me today that I needed to call Kristie to get money because Kristie always had money to take him to McDonald's!

I just decided who Jace really looks like from that first picture.....Grandma Gail!!

That's what Grandmas are for! So nice you were able to leave them with her and know you didn't have to worry about anything. Makes me miss my mommy :-(

That's how it is supposed to be. Grandparents do all the spoiling we do all the rest of it! I bet the kids loved every minute of your trip! :-)
