Grandpa and Grandma Jordan (Britt’s Mom and step-Dad) came out for a visit
Thursday, 7/28 - Grandpa Jordan and the kids enjoying the cool of the early morning on our back patio.
Grandma Jordan with Ethan and Kaylin on our swingset out back
No explanation needed
Ethan ready to catch Kaylin :)
Mama was scrubbing potatoes with the vegetable brush. Kaylin came over and wanted to help, so I gave her the bottle brush and said "Do you want a brush to help?" Kaylin (on her tip toes on a footstool) proceeded to wet the brush and .........
....Brush her HAIR! This process of wetting the "brush" and "combing" the hair was repeated AT LEAST 5 times! .... and a little fit ensued when Mama finally called it quits :)
Ethan helping Grandpa adjust the bike seat
Thursday, July 28 - Grandma and Grandpa giving Kaylin and Ethan foot massages. Kaylin actually held still for this :)
Time for the backs!
7/31 - Ethan and Kaylin playing with Hot Wheels
7/31 - Grandma and Grandpa hanging out with the kids. Kaylin made several attempts at brushing Grandma's hair with her hairbrush!
On Friday, July 29, we rented a minivan and took a day trip up into the mountains. We had a picnic lunch and went wading in a mountain stream. Lots of fun. (And for those relatives who appreciate food... we had cold meat sandwiches, grapes, chips, fresh raw green beans, and cherry tomatoes)
Grandpa Jordan, Ethan, Dan, and Kaylin playing in the water. Dan removed a couple rocks to make a little spillway for the kids. They found it very facinating watching twigs and leaves floating down stream.
More beautiful scenery....and I mean the mountain pine trees!
8/1 - Ethan and Grandma making Zucchini Bread
Kaylin wanted to help, too. Ethan is very diligent about wiping down the mixer and winding up the cord when finished.
Caught in the act ..... Kaylin was the taste tester behind Grandma's back..... well, OK - Grandma let her taste test in FRONT of her, too :)
8/3 - Newly Decorated Living Room! Now the front room actually feels like HOME rather than just a big white room! Kevin and Mom(Penni) were very helpful with ideas and shopping for items. (It would have been impossible for me to do it by myself with 2 kids in-tow)
